The Ferrari 575M Maranello, an evolution of the 550 Maranello, was a grand tourer produced by Ferrari from 2002 to 2006. It featured a redesigned interior, mechanical enhancements including larger brake discs, a more powerful engine, and improved weight distribution. Notably, it introduced an adaptive suspension system and offered both a manual and, for the first time on a Ferrari V12, an "F1" automated manual gearbox. In 2005, Ferrari introduced a GTC handling package and the Superamerica variant, a limited edition with a retractable hardtop. A total of 2,056 units were produced. Additionally, in 2003, Ferrari announced the 575 GTC, a racing version of the 575M, designed for the FIA GT Championship. This race car variant featured significant modifications for enhanced performance and aerodynamics.
