The 1994 debut of Ferrari’s F355 revealed a much-improved berlinetta both in terms of styling, owing to the classically beautiful design by Pininfarina, and in the blistering performance of its slightly enlarged 3.5-liter V8 engine. Equipped with five valves per cylinder, titanium alloy connecting rods, and a Bosch M5.2 control unit, the improved power plant produced 375-horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque. Underneath, a completely redesigned aerodynamic underbody and telescopic electronic dampers made the F355 over five seconds faster than its predecessor around Ferrari’s short Fiorano test track. Available in Berlinetta, Spider, and targa-top GTS body styles, the lighter, rigid chassis of the fixed hardtop Berlinetta when optioned with the six-speed gated manual transmission is the preferred driver’s choice. Such is the specification of this 1997 Ferrari F355, which is finished in stunning Nero Carbonio Metallic Black over a Cuoio leather interior. It was originally sold to Mr. Andrea Usellini on 18 March 1997 via Forza S.R.L Torino in Italy. After two decades of original ownership, the car was acquired by just its second owner and later relocated to the U.K. After 28 years in Europe this desirable example was imported to the United States in June 2025. A detailed file of invoices on file reveals services performed by independent Ferrari specialist shops in Europe, notably a new clutch installed by GVE London in 2016 and belts replaced by Fiorano in London in January 2019. In November 2023, the F355 was given a significant cosmetic refresh by Keys Motorsport Silverstone costing £17,000 (or nearly $22,500) that included a full repaint, interior reupholstery; plus fitment of tasteful aftermarket upgrades including a Blaupunkt stereo, Capristo exhaust system, and Morimoto Fog lights. It was most recently serviced by Georgica Services in East Hampton, New York, in August 2025 to replace the speedometer sensor and install a new battery maintainer. This attractive and refreshed Ferrari F355 is now offered with 51,767 kilometers or 32,166 miles at consignment. The seat bolsters show signs of light wear commensurate with the indicated mileage and the paint remains in excellent condition following its respray—thanks in part to a PPF treatment installed on the hood and front clip. It is furnished with its original toolkit and owner’s handbooks along with an aftermarket Momo Ferrari-branded steering wheel, set of Tubi test pipes, and Morimoto tail lights. Boasting a striking color scheme and the desired Berlinetta and gated-manual configuration, this 1997 Ferrari F355 that would be at home in any collection of 1990s analog sportscars. Yet, it is, above all, a Ferrari built to be driven—eager, responsive, and deeply rewarding from behind the wheel.
