Ferrari 550 Barchetta










A bit of a rarity today, the Ferrari 550 Barchetta. I took the pictures of the car at the Startstone Wilmslow dealership where once again, staff were very friendly and helpful. 
Why a rarity, well only 448 of these were ever produced in the very early 2000's, and only 42 were supplied to the UK market, so you won't probably see one around the corner. It is basically a roadster version of the 550 Maranello, yes a roadster and not a convertible as the Barchetta does not have a roof at all! So better use it in a sunny country!
Engine-wise, we have a 5.5 V12 with 478bhp; 0-62 in 4.4 seconds and top speed of 186mph or 299km/h.
Stunning looking car!
