2005 FERRARI 575M MARANELLO HGTC COUPE – F1 Presenting in Rosso Corsa with Black leather interior trim. An Australian delivered and quite rare 575M Maranello, delivered new by Barbagallo Ferrari of Osborne Park WA on the 11th of March 2005. This car is an extremely rare and sought after offering featuring the coveted HGTC pack from factory. The upgrade package included a power upgrade, stiffer suspension, Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, a sports exhaust system, exclusive 19″ wheels, sports seats, chrome wire grille, and a revised ECU enabling faster gear changes. Of the 2,056 575Ms produced, only 98 were specified with the desirable and sought-after HGTC package from the factory. Service history shows early attention by the delivering dealer and most recently under South Australian ownership, by Adelaide Ferrari specialist, Veloce Motorsport of Hindmarsh Adelaide on the 14th of December 2023 at 53,664kms. At that service, 4 new Michelin Pilot Sport tyres were replaced. At a more recent visit to Veloce Motorsport, all the hand brake shoes were replaced. The Ferrari 575M Maranello (Type F133) is a two-seat, two-door, grand tourer manufactured by Italian automobile manufacturer Ferrari. Launched in 2002, it is essentially an updated 550 Maranello featuring minor styling changes from Pininfarina. The 575M was replaced by the 599 GTB in the first half of 2006. Updates from the 550 included a redesigned interior as well as a number of mechanical improvements, including bigger brake discs, a larger and more powerful engine, improved weight distribution, refined aerodynamics and fluid-dynamics along with an adaptive suspension set-up (the four independent suspensions are also controlled by the gearbox, to minimize pitch throughout the 200-milliseconds shift time). Two six-speed transmissions were available, a conventional manual gearbox and, for the first time on a Ferrari V12, the “F1” automated manual gearbox built by Graziano Trasmissioni. The 575 model number refers to total engine displacement in centilitres, whilst the ‘M’ is an abbreviation of Modificata (“modified”). For 2005, the company released a HGTC handling package along with raising the power from 379 kW to 397 kW. Powered by that uprated 5.7 Litre V12 engine, it produced 397Kw of power, delivered to the rear wheels via a 6 speed F1 semi-automatic transmission. Performance figures suggest 0-100kph in 3.9 secs and a top speed near 325kph. Together with the uprated V12 engine, large carbon ceramic brakes, the HGTC handling package and a brand new set of Michelin tyres, this superb Ferrari is just a dream to drive and begging for the road ahead. The sale of this car includes a red Ferrari car cover. Available to inspect on our state of the art showroom floor in Adelaide. We can arrange transport door to door Australia wide.
