The Ferrari 355 is a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports car that was produced by the Italian automaker Ferrari from 1994 to 1999. It replaced the 348 and was succeeded by the 360 Modena. The 355 was the first Ferrari road car to feature a 5-valve per cylinder engine, which was a significant technological advancement at the time. It also introduced a new, more aerodynamic body design, featuring a distinctive "shark nose" front end and a pronounced rear diffuser. This aggressive design language helped the 355 achieve impressive performance figures, including a top speed of over 180 mph (290 km/h).
The 355 was offered in multiple versions throughout its production run, each catering to a slightly different audience. The base 355 Berlinetta was the most popular model, offering a balance of performance and practicality. The 355 Spider, introduced in 1995, featured a retractable soft top for open-air driving. The 355 Challenge, a track-focused version, was stripped of unnecessary features and received upgraded suspension and brakes. The 355 F1, which debuted in 1997, was notable for its Formula 1-inspired paddle shifters, allowing drivers to change gears without lifting their hands from the steering wheel. The 355 was a huge success for Ferrari, with over 11,000 units sold worldwide. It solidified the brand's reputation for building high-performance, luxurious sports cars and remains a popular model among collectors and enthusiasts today.
