12.10.1998 в Центре транспортных исследований (Мэрисвилль, Огайо, США), международная группа журналистов (Csaba Csera из Car and Driver и Dulio Truffo из Quattroruote) на Ferrari 550 Maranello установили три мировых рекорда.
Limited-run high-performance version of the Coupé Fiat 2.0 20v Turbo, presented at the Paris Motor Show in September 1998. The model featured a series of technical and visual enhancements focused on sportiness and driving performance. It was equipped with a 2.0-litre five-cylinder 20-valve turbocharged engine producing 220 hp (162 kW), paired with a six-speed manual transmission. The revised gear ratios improved acceleration and emphasized a more dynamic driving character. Chassis upgrades included a front strut brace supplied by Sparco, increasing bodyshell rigidity, and cross-drilled front brake discs with red calipers, contributing to improved braking performance. The exterior was distinguished by body-coloured bumpers and side skirts, front spoilers, and titanium-finished details such as light surrounds, mirrors, fuel cap, and alloy wheels. Red accents on badges and wheel hubs echoed the brake components and engine elements. Inside, the car featured a sporty interior with black and red leather Recaro seats and matching red seat belts. Additional highlights included titanium-finish trim, anodised aluminium pedals and footrests, and leather-trimmed steering wheel, gear knob, and handbrake with red inserts. A push-button engine start, inspired by motorsport, further emphasised the model’s performance-oriented character.
