When the Ferrari F355 was first unveiled, it caused a shock throughout the motoring world. It was the best, by a mile, in the way that it drove and how it looked. Today the car is still a head turner and brilliantly satisfying to drive on track which is testimony to just how right the Ferrari designers and engineers were when they produced the car. Seated in the leather driving seat you can take in the beautifully crafted interior. The V8 fires into life then settles to a low burble. Out on track the engine note progresses from a bark to a full on howl as you accelerate up the gears - its completely addictive and you'll want to drive it home. Now you know why a Ferrari is so special. |
