With the introduction of the 550 Maranello in 1997, Ferrari returned to its tradition of building front-engined V12 sports cars, resurrecting a line that had remained dormant since the demise of the 365 GTB/4 'Daytona' in 1974. The heart of any Ferrari is its engine, and the Maranello's 5.5-litre V12 developed 485bhp, some 100-or-so horsepower more than the Daytona's, which was delivered to the road via a six-speed rear transaxle. The power train was housed in a tubular steel chassis, to which was attached aluminium coachwork, while the all-independent suspension incorporated dual-mode (normal/sports) damping, complemented by speed-sensitive power-assisted steering.

Several 550 GTS racing versions were developed by Prodrive and later Ferrari for private racing teams. The engine capacity is increased to 5983cc while power output goes to 600 hp at 6400 rpm 600 Nm at 5000 rpm. In 2003, one Ferrari 550 GTS prepared by Prodrive won its Class at Le Mans 24 Hours and Spa Francorchamps 24 Hours.
