The 575M Maranello is Ferrari's front-engine V12 grand touring two-seater from the early to mid 2000s and technically a mid-cycle refresh of the 550 Maranello. '575' refers to its V12's displacement in centiliters, while the 'M' stands for modified. It was produced from 2002 to 2006 and is powered by a 5.7-liter naturally-aspirated V12 with 508 horsepower and 434 lb-ft of torque. The 575M makes the dash to 60 mph in about four seconds and carries a top speed of 202 mph. It was offered with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed F1 dual-clutch transmission, most of which came with the latter gearbox. The main noticeable difference between the 550 and the 575M physically is their front-end styling, specifically the grille. A total of just over 2,000 575Ms were built, in addition to a more limited drop-top version known as the 575M Superamerica toward the end of its production run. The 575M is currently valued at anywhere in the high $100,000s up to around half a million dollars. It may not be my absolute favorite Ferrari, but the 575M is a beautiful and amazing supercar that makes my jaw drop every time I see one up close.
