Ferrari 575M Maranello

Among the 90 cars in the catalogue that use a V12, the Ferrari 575M Maranello occupies an unusual position: it is not defined by chasing the highest figures, but by the balance of a naturally aspirated V12 with rear wheel drive, a pairing shared by just 41 cars in the collection. Within that group, it belongs to the smaller circle of 54 naturally aspirated V12 cars, making its configuration a key part of its character. The 575M sits as a reminder that a grand touring car can be measured by the combination of its ingredients, not just by a single headline number.

The figures place that balance into context. Its 508 bhp gives it a power ranking of 324th out of 600 cars, placing it in the top 54% of the catalogue, while its 4.2 second 0 to 100 km/h time ranks 346th, meaning it is faster than 254 cars in the collection. Its 325 km/h top speed is where the Ferrari moves further forward, ranking 136th overall. The difference between these positions is revealing: the 575M is not positioned around one dominant statistic, but around a combination of performance and specification that remains distinctive.

That specification comes from a 5.7 litre naturally aspirated V12 producing 508 bhp and 589 Nm, sent through the rear wheels in a two seater fixed head coupé GT. With a used price of £140,000, it ranks 243rd for price, placing it above 357 cars in this catalogue. Its cost per bhp is £276, offering another way to view where it sits among 600 choices. From Italy, a country represented by 118 cars in the collection, and from Ferrari, which contributes 53 cars to the catalogue, the 575M brings a particular formula into a dream garage.

The 575M Maranello is not the catalogue’s quickest V12, nor is it defined by the highest power figure. Its appeal comes from occupying a specific space: a Ferrari GT with a naturally aspirated V12, rear wheel drive, and a performance profile that remains competitive across a broad field. In a collection built from hundreds of possibilities, selecting this car places a measured V12 GT at the centre of the story. The numbers are enough to explain why it belongs there.
