Can anyone give me the main differences between the 550 and 575 apart from the price !!

Engine size possibly

Probably lots more too like power, torque, weight....

575 was available with more power, greater engine capacity, bigger wheels (19"), an optional F1 box, revised colour coded headlamps, revised interior.

Standard suspension was much softer than the 550, to cater for the Americans. Ferrari sorted this out quickly with the optional Fiorano handling pack.

The 575 also has a bigger scoop on the bonnet

Depends how much you laying out and whether you wanna keep it or not....I'd personally not go for GT or 575 and play with 550 for a bit....if not then trade one in for Diablo 6.0 or Murci....T.

going to make a decision next week on either the gt, 550 or 575, not going for lambo as it just doesnt interest me at all for some odd reason!

Not driven a GT but would assume it to be a totally different kind of car??

BentGT's are ing fast but in the same way Boeing 747s are fast... they're built like a tank.

Want ultimate luxury, mile-eating abilities and an ok looking car? Get the Bentley

Want a proper sportscar with equally awesome mile-eating abilities, gorgeous looks and a tad less luxury but still a lot of luxury? Get the Fez

Yes, its a horrid horrid VW Phaeton in drag!

[annsxman]

I'm biased but I'd go with the 550.

A few people I know that have gone to 575 prefer the 550, even with the handling kit.

I fancy one of these 550's in red !

[Gt2man-2]

LOL.. be quick then, before they're all snapped up.

I bought my red one yesterday based on the car Welshman's bought last week (pictured above)

[maserati3200gt]

What price did you pay ?

[GT2man-2]

I've emailed you

Suffice to say, I got a very healthy discount after giving them a hell of a haggling

Don't let people tell you that main dealers are hard to negotiate with.

Seems Red 550's might be the way forward...There's residual hope for a friend's 575 yet!!
