Spider Motronic 2.7 Manual

1996 Ferrari F355 Spider

Rosso Corsa over Nero Leather – Motronic 2.7 – 6-Speed Manual

Offered here is an exceptionally desirable example of Ferrari’s celebrated open-top V8 of the 1990s: the F355 Spider, presented in its most collectible guise. Finished in the quintessential Rosso Corsa with a finely preserved Nero leather interior, this car combines the coveted Motronic 2.7 engine management system with Ferrari’s iconic gated 6-speed manual gearbox — a specification revered by enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike.

Provenance and Condition

Delivered new in February 1996, this Spider was part of a private collection where it was fastidiously maintained until approximately 2016. In the years since, it has been carefully preserved, started and warmed regularly, and used sparingly for ceremonial occasions such as weddings and anniversaries. Today, it remains in highly original condition, requiring a major service prior to use on public roads — an ideal opportunity for its next custodian to prepare the car for many more years of enjoyment.
With the car reaching classic (oldtimer) status in February, it offers both a compelling acquisition for the discerning collector and an attractive prospect for historic registration.

Collectibility

Among F355 enthusiasts, this configuration is considered the most rare and desirable variant of the Spider. The Motronic 2.7 system, paired with the manual transmission, delivers a purer, more engaging driving experience and positions the car as one of the most sought-after modern classics of the Maranello marque.

Accompaniments

As befitting a collector-grade Ferrari, this Spider is offered complete with its:

• Original toolkit

• Factory car cover

• Soft-top cover

• Even the original Ferrari-branded gloves

The leather interior presents in excellent condition, underscoring the car’s careful stewardship. Notably, this example is an F355 SP Fascia 48, delivered without a radio from factory. An authentic Ferrari unit has since been installed, maintaining period-correct originality.

Significance

Representing the essence of 1990s Ferrari design and engineering, the F355 Spider remains an enduring icon of the brand’s open-top tradition. With its harmonious proportions, naturally aspirated V8 soundtrack, and highly desirable specification, this example offers an exciting opportunity to acquire one of the most collectible F355 Spiders available.
