Calling all the experts......white 550???

I've seen a good one for sale on the net in Europe, on www.mobile.de, with red interior, but not in the States.

They are very rare, and I'm quite happy about that as I can hardly think of a worse colour for a 550. But to each his own, of course.

Good luck with your search. I think I've just found my perfect 550 yesterday, a dark blue one with tan interior. My family is doing the inspection today as I'm abroad at the moment.

Hello Doug,

Yes, I can confirm there are at least two white 550s in the USA. Below you will find a small list of all white 550/575 Maranellos I have in my database:

s/n 108369
550 Maranello
White/black - later repainted Titanium grey
Last known location: France (2007) - was white while located in Monaco (2000)

s/n 110256
550 Maranello
White/black
Last known location: United Kingdom (1999), owned by a person from Qatar

s/n 111391
550 Maranello
White/all bordeaux
Last known location: Georgia, USA (2005)

s/n 124750
550 Maranello
White/bordeaux
Last known location: Germany (2001)

s/n 126807
550 Maranello
White/bordeaux
Last known location: Washington, USA (2005)

s/n 130064
575 M Maranello F1
White/all cream
Last known location: Germany (2002) - very probably sold to the Middle East

s/n 130974
575 M Maranello F1
White/all bordeaux
Last known location: Germany (2003) - very probably sold to the Middle East

s/n 132753
575 M Maranello F1
White/tan with blue dash
Last known location: Japan (2005)

No doubt the two white 550s in the USA will not be the only ones, as my database still shows maybe like 30% of US-model 550/575s still without colours. My estimate is that there might be maybe 4-6 white ones in the USA maximum. So, finding one might be quite a challenge!

Any additions to the list above would of course be much appreciated!

Ciao,

Lars T.

PS: Maybe Ferrari North America might be willing to tell you how many white 550/575 they imported into the USA?

 

I believe I saw a white 550 with black interior at Continental in Chicago about a year ago? Might have been seeing things. I was pretty captivated by the stradales/ f40/ enzo that were also there.

 

It is a fantastic color for the barchetta

 

I saw a white barchetta with tan leather and 3pc chrome rims. it was amazing, but I believe it was part of some rapper's collection and was since sold. i'd commit a lot if unspeakable crimes for that car.

 

Pharrell (sp?) had a beautiful white on red 575M awhile back. I remember seeing it on ebay about two years ago. It was also featured on one of his videos and it was AWESOME. White is the new red...

The car shows up at about 1:30. Sport seats too!

 

Ferrari of Atlanta has had one in their showroom occasionally. White with red carbon seats. Gorgeous car! Call Levi or Steven there.
Thanks,
Ed

 

If you cant find white how about baby blue.

Im sure the factory laughed this one all the way through the production line

 

or vomitted

 

Pharrell's white 550 (not 575). Word was he bought it - used it in the shoot and returned it. It was for sale at Black on Black (LA) several years ago and was bouncing around a few dealerships.

It was good looking in person.

During my search for a 550 I came across this one all the time. Unbelievable. And it's poorly priced as well (for the same price a beautiful Nero one with half the mileage was for sale). No wonder it's been for sale for ages.

IIRC, it was the last 550 built before the Barchettas.
