The Ferrari 355 is innovative by nature and stylish by design. The Ferrari 355 has looks to kill for and performance far beyond that of almost every other automobile. In Ferrari tradition the car is able perform confidently without any sacrifice of comfort.
The design of the GTS shows Ferrari's culture and experience, enriched by active experimentation and research. The result is a car in which engineering and styling meet to create unprecedented overall performance. The F 355 is an innovative car that provides the full excitement of driving a Ferrari, coupled with superb performance from the 109 bhp/litre and close-ratio gearbox.
Convertibles have always filled a special, important place in the hearts of sports car enthusiasts. All Ferrari 355 convertibles were born from the idea of combining sporty engineering with the appeal of open-air driving. The F 355 Spider develops this idea still further: the exceptional performance of the Berlinetta and GTS is enhanced by the ease with which the top can be opened and closed to convert the car.
