Hey Oppo, I’m having a tough time getting an answer from the Googles and thought I’d tap into your collective knowledge. Anyone know what the first model year was for the Ferrari 550 Maranello? I know production started in July of 1996, but I don’t know whether the first examples were considered 96MY or 97MY.

July would be pretty late start so I would expect them to be ‘97 models. A VIN# for an early model could confirm this.

The definitive answer would come from a VIN, but I believe they are considered a 96MY.

They did some weird things with the 550 where the first model year was very low production and never officially available to anyone outside Ferrari. I believe the Harry’s Garage video on the 550 talks about early production.

depends on which market probably, ones in the USA were probably ‘97

ROW were probably ‘96

but i could be wrong.

There’s an early one for sale in UK (at Forza288) but they aren’t revealing VIN in the ad.
