With the 550 Maranello of 1996, Ferrari put its flagship two-seater's V12 back in the front for the first time since the Daytona, replacing the mid-engined F512 M. It had a 5.5-litre engine and a six-speed manual with an open metal gate, and proved faster and far easier to live with. An open Barchetta version followed in 2000.
