In my opinion this is still one of the best looking Ferrari’s they’ve made till this day. Surprisingly looks very modern for its age.. absolutely unbelievable.
The 355 was Ferrari's first real supercar. The engine is a work of art. But - don't buy this car unless you are able to pay for engine removal when it needs any major work done, including services.
355 will go down as one of the greatest road cars of all time. Engine technology and performance for its era were unmatched, arguably the greatest sound ever to come out of an exhaust and Pininfarina drop gorgeous looks. Perfection
Hello, you have a great F355 with all the rare options- challenge grille, sport seats and, factory shields. You should know that other owners whom put large wheels or run spacers which change the offset of the wheels have damaged their fenders when the tire/wheel rubs. Given that you have factory shields you may wish to consider running a wheel that matches the factory size and offset or simply just run the factory wheels. The car is only original once. Your video is great and there are some great shots in there. Congratulations on the car and I hope you enjoy it.
Out of my 488, F430 & F355, the 355 wins every day, whenever I start her the sound reminds me of a mid 90's F1 car, mind you I once had a guy ask me if it was a MR2
Congrats on that super rare 355, Reza! Aside from all the added carbon fiber and interior upgrades, the F355 Fiorano was almost a Spider version of the Challenge cars. Fantastic find!
@@StudioMotors Hi yeah, but my car have only Fiorano package its more steering wheel rack + suspension + brakes. Also my car had the challenge grill + carbon options :) Will get it tomorrow
Perfect description of the F355!! It's still the last true Ferrari ever built! Beautiful car, btw, and those wheels are right on. I'm thinking of getting rid of my HREs and grab a set of those. Enjoy the car!
Hardtop 355? Black interior? 6 speed gated ? I'm in LOVE! What an amazing example. Glad this beauty is seeing the road and not being hidden in a garage. Those things have been going up in value like crazy too over the last few years. The auctions on Bring A Trailer for them have hit some really high marks. Congrats on your purchase man. You're living the dream!
Thank you Jeriko! Yes, it was a Kansas car for a bit and was worked on by Vince at Black Horse Motorwerks, a brilliant Ferrari shop right in the middle of America :)
Great video brother! Love the fact you actually drive your cars rather than just stare at them in the garage. As beautiful as they are cars are meant to be driven!
Thank you so much! What else do you wanna see on the 355? I recently changed the wheels and added some fabspeed goodies. I’ll shoot an update video soon
Actually, I still own the car. Not as sharp looking at yours. I don’t drive it as often. Has an issue with temperature gauge hitting very high within a minute after the car is running. I’m waiting for the a new thermostat to arrive so I can change it out and hope I’ll be back in the road, if that’s the issue.
Man that’s awesome. I’m not sure how long I’ll keep mine but I can’t picture a better 355 for myself. I feel like if I sell this I’m never going to find a better one later down the line. Hopefully it’s an easy fix and you’re back on road by summer!
Really love that color. When I was growing up the only Ferraris you would see even on TV or movies was always red and some black mixed in but majority are always red. I like how today you can get just about any color you like. I really look forward to seeing what you do with this. I most definitely hit the subscribe button and the like button I don't want to miss out on what you do next. Look forward to watching more of your videos.
I see the wheels spark some controversy, I think they probably look better in the flesh. They seem too dark on camera for the most part, but with the close-ups you can see the finer lines and the workmanship. I fitted HRE wheels on my 348 and it utterly transformed the car. The 348 standard wheels look dated, but the rest of the car is pretty timeless. So fitting timeless wheels has made it perfect. Everyone I meet is amazed at how it looks, some even think it’s a new model Ferrari!
@studio motors. love the way those wheels look ... did you use original spec size wheels or these rims have different specs? if so , what was the change . might get myself a pair . thanks . great video
Love how titles like this one assume we are all a dime away from affording a 90's classical Ferrari. All jokes aside, this in my opinion is the most beautiful and the best sounding car that was ever created by mankind. However, you did it zero justice with those horrendous custom rims. Get the 5 spoke starfish rims and she'll be just fine.
You will appreciate it every second of your life - you will never get a more exciting car - I had my F355 GTS now for 11 years - and HE will last forever...
Oh, YES, it's a MUST to drop engine. There are people who tried to solve it with gas tank out, said it's very difficult and you would get your hands all scuffed up.
@@StudioMotors The originals? Ofcourse. The black ones? No. They do not suit the subtle beauty of the rest of the car. But this is my humble opinion! :)
@@Fioravanti.80 I`m agree with you, custom wheels in not harmony with this car. This style and colour more suitable for a modern BMW or Audi, but not for Ferrari 90`s! Can you imagine (for example) Ferrari 250 GTO or Lambo Countach on those rims? I`m not! Because each era has its own style and it is unnecessary to mix them!
It's ok, I kept the originals! I wanted to give the 355s timeless body a more modern look so we went with a a wheel from Brixton Forged which is a similar, yet more aggressive style to modern Ferrari wheels.
@@285ferrari You’re right, some Eurospec cars were labeled as 94s because they were built in 1994 but those same cars are 1995s in the US. How many 1994s have you registered?
@@StudioMotors LOL Not hating, but stating a fact. Your "trends" are all over the place. Black wheels on one of my favorite cars in the world is like watching a kitchen aide running around in cheap black shoes. Jeez! It doesn't match the status of a "super sports car".
Totally false.the F1 is the same exact transmission as the 3 pedal car. I own an F1 and it is flawless and you can shift an F1 quicker than you can shift a 3 pedal car. The difference between the two is a personal difference and nothing more.
Way to ruin a beautiful car with that ugly color and especially with black wheels, which make the car look like it’s running on spare tires with no hubcaps
Car looks like a dream on the road, she’s perfect.
Ive had it for about 7 months now and can't stop staring at it. It's such a timeless design, they really nailed it.
In my opinion this is still one of the best looking Ferrari’s they’ve made till this day. Surprisingly looks very modern for its age.. absolutely unbelievable.
Wholeheartedly agree with you. I updated the tail lights and headlights recently to some modern LEDs from Morimoto. It was the perfect touch for me.
You grabbed the exact sound of it! I had a 355 and it is the BEST sounding car I know of.
The 355 was Ferrari's first real supercar. The engine is a work of art. But - don't buy this car unless you are able to pay for engine removal when it needs any major work done, including services.
F40 ..Engine removal 355 - around 2500 bucks. Not that bad.

The sound of these is insane, I love the shape too. A classic for sure.
5 Valves per cylinder in a 3.5L V8 is like music 😊
Sleepy eye and calm, what a great description!
For reference, you do NOT need to pull the engine to replace a clutch in this car
I just watched ur video on the clear front light lenses, very cool. Couldn’t help notice the raw exhaust growl, can you tell me what exhaust you used?
Thank you! It’s a Capristo exhaust with valve control and sport cats
Love this car but FYI *** Alot less F1 Trans than Manual trans, the F1 was only 98-99, an F1 GTS is the rarest F355 aside from challenge***
AWESOME...F355 a masterpiece

Amazing car! What type of wheels are those? They look sick!!!
You take a early 911 996 three spokes steering wheel and re upholster it with a nice prancing horse logo in the middle.... and that 's it
Congrats! Always loved the 355. She is a must!

How does the Capristo valve control work? Is it basically on/off for sound control?
Yes, it’s a small key fob that opens the valves and closes them.
So sick. !!!

First year production was actually 1994
