The design of each model reflects Ferrari's culture and experience, enriched by active experimentation and research. The result is a car in which engineering and styling meet to create overall performance of the highest standard. The F 355 project produced an innovative car that guarantees the excitement of driving a Ferrari, and superb performance, from the 109 bhp/litre to the close gear ratios of the 6 speeds, and the suspension which adjusts automatically to driving style.
