| A total of 8,649 six-speed manual F355s were made between 1994 and 1999, of which 2,663 were Spiders (soft-tops). A further 2,624 355s were made with the F1 paddle shift. | It is estimated there are around 40 F355s in New Zealand.
18" wheels wear 225/40 on the front and 265/40 on the rear. |
0-60 in around five seconds. Top speed of 175 mph (286 kph). I've so far managed just 180 kph... | I've had the rego plate since 1995 and my days at Terabyte doing web sites. It seemed appropriate to put it on the Spider.... |

| Apparently, of the 12 standard colours Ferraris come in, just under half of the V8s are made in 'rosso corsa' (red). Yellow is the next most popular colour, followed by black. | There's a chap here in New Zealand who's been trying to sell his Testa Rossa for two years. It's white..... | Yes, the interior is somewhat red. As far as I can make out it was specially ordered for the Sultan of Brunei. In the seven years he had it he did a total of 800 kms. | According to an e-mail from the factory 23/10/02: "We kindly inform you that your car was produced in July 1995 and was sold to Pininfarina. Its original colour was red and it had black leather interior" |
