Way back in 1996, Ferrari released a relatively mass market (3083 units), spacious (space for light bags or a golf club set) grand tourer with a glorious 5.5 litre engine displacing close to 500 bhp that ticked all the right boxes for sports car lovers. So maybe the Pininfarina styling wasnt to everyones taste but the 550 Barchetta did prove to be a much better looker with its soft top.
Just in case youre wondering why the Maranello term seems so familiar, it is the town where the Ferrari headquarters are located. Nice tribute.
Would I buy one: If I were offered the Barchetta, its a definite yes! With a name as awesome as that who could refuse? Barche-tta. Bar-chetta. Barc-hetta ....
Would I drive one: Again, with the Barchetta, a definite yes! As long as it doesnt rain ....
