The Ferrari 575M Maranello is a two-seat, two-door, grand tourer built by Ferrari. Launched in 2002, it is essentially an updated [URL="http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1962"]550 Maranello[/URL] featuring minor styling changes from Pininfarina. The 575M was replaced by the [URL="http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21975"]599 GTB[/URL] in the first half of 2006.
Updates from the 550 included a renewed interior, but with substantial improvements mechanically, including bigger brake discs, a larger and more powerful engine, a different weight distribution, refined aerodynamics and fluid-dynamics and an adaptive suspension set-up (the four independent suspensions are also controlled by the gearbox, to minimize pitch throughout the 200-milliseconds shift time). Two six-speed transmissions were available, a conventional manual gearbox and, for the first time on a Ferrari V12, Magneti Marelli's semi-automatic (Electrohydraulic manual) 'F1' gearbox. The model number refers to total engine displacement in litres, whilst the 'M' is an abbreviation of modificato ("modified").
For 2005, the company developed a new GTC handling package and [URL="http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13213&highlight=575"]Superamerica[/URL] version (a limited run of 559 retractable hardtop variants of the coupe), along with raising the power from 515 PS (379 kW; 508 hp) to 540 PS (397 kW; 533 hp).
2056 575M's were produced.
