stretch 456, beautifully executed

 

On a similar note, I often wondered if this car sowed the seed for the FF/GTC4 Lusso

Just curious if lowering the rear changed the drive/ride? How much did you lower, fronts too? I just put the barchetta wheels on my 575 and was looking to lower, but 50/50 about doing it.

 

So far I have not done anything except spacers. Front is the 1.5cm lower at the jack as recording. The radiator plug has been shipping on the Nordschleife. When I lower the back of the front comes back up.

My experience from my Maserati 4200 which had similar coil over shock/springs USB that if you lower the car by lowering the bottom «nut» that holds the bottom of the spring, is that you reduce the spring load/pressure and this causes the car to sit lower. However, the car become less precis on the road and can bottom the shocks more easily. It is very dangerous at very high speeds. I bought the car this way, and I adjusted the bottom nut to give more tension to the spring, and the car rised higher up and became alot more stiff and the road holding was significantly better. It had been «lowered for track use» by Shelton Maserati i Florida just a few years after it was new. The car was extremely dangerous at over 160-200 kph. There would NOT BE POSSIBLE at all to drive at the 290 kph top speed. Just my experience if you did not replace to specific lowering springs.

 

Here you see the same problem at a other Ferrari which I found in internet. The front is too much down

I disagree. The suspention is done like that so it won’t look like a saggy old S-class when the har is losses with two persons and full of luggage. The car is perfect when it leaves the factory.

 

The Maranello was never so deep in front where he came from the factory. The springs at the front decrease with time. Lots of heavy luggage does not fit in the Maranello and the factory also has more ground clearance at the front, so you do not sit.

I have thought about it and measured the rear struts and compared with the factory specifications. Since I'm already behind the factory default. So now I will raise the Maranello at the front by 1.5cm.

 

Ride height is not measured on the struts. 15 mm is quite a bit.

 

My "03 575M F-1. Bot it about 3 months ago with less than 10k miles.

 

This is my "03 575 M. I bought the car about 3 months ago with less than 10,000 miles. Love it!

 

looks great, any interior shots?

 

Sorry, no. Interior is tan and perfect.

 

Thad- Very pretty. Looks just like mine except the interior.

 

Had to run some errands yesterday, taking my mother to a couple of appointments here in London. Wife took the family car, I could have taken a Uber but..took this instead. Her first ride in a Ferrari. She was particularly fond of the interior.

Central London is not ideal for a gated 575 but anyway.

Pictured out and about and then being put away again. For how long..

yummy!

 

My 550 Maranello. Some describe it as a rolling sculpture. The 48 valve 12 cylinder 4 cam motor mated to a 6 speed gate shifter is truly icing on the cake.
