Ferrari 575 SuperAmerica - The fastest Convertible in the world!

The Ferrari 575 Superamerica was the Fastest Convertible in the world when it came out. Only 559 Ferrari 575 Superamerica were produced. The Ferrari 575 Superamerica was produced by Ferrari between 2005 and 2006. Designed to be a successor to the Ferrari 550 Barchetta. The 575 Superamerica was built on the platform of the 575M Maranello. The Superamerica was powered by a 5.75-liter V12 engine, which produced 540 horsepower and 434 lb-ft of torque. It had a top speed of 199 mph and could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds.
One of the most unique features of the Ferrari 575 Superamerica was its "Revocromico" rotating roof system. The roof was made of electrochromic glass, which could be rotated at the press of a button to control the amount of light entering the cabin. The roof could be rotated 180 degrees and stored behind the seats, transforming the car from a coupe to a convertible in just 10 seconds. This was a world-first feature that allowed the driver to enjoy the sensation of open-air driving without compromising on the car's structural rigidity or aerodynamics.
The Ferrari 575 Superamerica was a great car because it combined the performance of a supercar with the comfort and practicality of a grand tourer. The car's V12 engine provided exhilarating acceleration and a top speed that put it among the fastest cars on the road. At the same time, the car's spacious cabin and comfortable seats made it an ideal choice for long-distance driving. The Superamerica was also a rare and exclusive car, with only 559 units produced. As a result, it has become a highly sought-after collector's item, prized for its unique features, stunning design, and exceptional performance.

[@CommanderAlpharocks]

the curved shape of the flipping roof glass is truly a work of art

[@kaileysweeney4240]

This is one of my all-time favorite cars. A front engine Ferrari V12 plus a trick convertible top? Wow, it’s amazing.

[@markaphotog]

Fantastic video!! The roof is so unique, I’m surprised other supercar manufacturers didn’t copy it.

[@kindvegasbuds3726]

The manual 550 Barchetta is one of my favorite cars , this was a great video !

[@Yoshimurha]

This channel is quite informative. I genuinely learn loads of things I didn't know about these cars before I sumbled upon this channel. Great job! Keep it up!

[@saulespino2510]

It's informative because it is a car commercial, they were trying to sell the car, nothing negative said about it.

[@Yoshimurha]

@@saulespino2510 well it's their business to do what they want with. I just think they do a fantastic job in telling a story of each car and their legacies. Where I live, there is mostly young guns from Middle East with zero interest or knowledge of cars or mechanucs who sells these kinds of premium cars. And if you ask them something about the car, all they can say is "it's a dope car". So I would feel heckofalot more comfortable buying my car from those behind this channel, than I would from those where I live.

[@cramjam]

Does nobody know about the roof being able to change tint with the turn of a knob. The Revochromico glass has a dial that you can turn and change the amount of light coming through it. This is by far one of the most unique features I have ever seen on a car ever. It can go from clear to dark tint all done with a digital control. And instead of her showing off something that is utterly revolutionary for its time we get a whole minute of her talking about how she doesn't know where the five in the name of the car comes from.

[@SabeloMemela]

Great, informative content. Keep it up👍

[@SoerenAU]

The 5 in the end, is for 5 wheels, : 4 roadwheels, and one steeringwheel, all for control !!!!! :-^

[@upsidedowndog1256]

Very nice, Colleen! Italian car and motorcycle (even mopeds and scooters) manufacturers often name their machines based on how they sound in Italian!

[@GM-fh5jp]

They are so choice with the roof off. In black it looks killer. Gotta be good to fast in one tho :)

[@waiateruati]

Absolutely love your videos. Super cool cars with such an informative and interesting story. Love your style👍🏾

[@FerrarisOnline]

Thanks!

[@ArthurStone]

Thanks. The car still looks good. The '575' designation refers to the 5748cc engine displacement (according to Wiki).

[@zacariasfangueiro4073]

Beautiful car! And driver 😉

[@DouglasJWalker]

I've always loved the model of car. A true special in a unique way

[@alexv5261]

Dream cars.😊

[@kev-the-windsurfer.]

I think these care cool Ferrari's!! One of the local club members had one but ended up selling it and bought a 550 Maranello before their price hike.....Great information Colleen!!

[@emppowersportsandmarine6270]

The extra 5, might be for 5 valves. The F355 was 3.5L, 5 Valves.

[@supersonique001]

I believe that the 575 SuperAmerica designation is motor capacity ie.5.75liters . A funny quirk about this car is that if you're not attentive while the top is down and you get caught in the rain the inverted top fills with water quickly and when you raise the top it dumps all that water into the cockpit/onto your head! BTW nice outfit, black subscale accentuated with a tan overcoat topped with your black hairstyle, very elegant!

[@Joey-wf3ix]

Computer takes it to 575hp

[@yaroslavbozhdynsky]

yes and was not named as '575 Superamerica' just 'Superamerica'.

[@chrismargarites8722]

That is funny!

[@mrgiustiziaamrwindofchange8212]

great supercar

[@pile333]

Wonderful. That roof, dudes!

[@chrismargarites8722]

Superb car! With a few tweaks 600 rear wheel horsepower, faster shifts, and a better sound is available! Ferrari brand + front engine V12 + true convertible that actually keeps the weather out + limited production (559/170) = collectable million dollar Ferrari. Most are trading in the 300k - 400k range. What a bargain!

[@bocederberg8512]

Where any of the Superamericas available with a manual transmission?

[@jamesbambury]

Fantastic video, I think this top is fantastic and elegant in its simplicity, I just think there is something off about the 575 v 550 in the front end, the bumper looks too squared off and the headlights look slightly to pronounced. I really liked the 550, it’s the only Ferrari that looks best in silver not red. This car also needs a manual transmission!!

[@chesspiece81]

So could the Ferraris with the 65° V12 could they be upgraded to Enzo, F12, or 812 Superfast spec and power level? Because a 550 or 612 manual with F12 power would be AWESOME.

[@jacquesraymond6892]

Regarding the price of options at Ferrari it is now crazier than ever. They know, they are now the ultimate most desirable luxury brand in the world but they overall know wealthy peoples are willing to pay the price and they take bigtime advantage of it. Piero Lardi Ferrai (Enzo's son) who owns 10% of Ferrari shares is now multi billionaire.

[@yaroslavbozhdynsky]

Classic Superamerica had more power not because it was an upgrade over America, it was just a newer model, not a variant. 375 America had 4.5-litres and 410 Superamerica, 2 years later, had a 5-litre unit.

[@michaeljoel2883]

As a bonus, the car can serve as a portable shower. Leave the top down in the rain and it will fill with water. Then just put the top up and it’s shower time!

[@vestelmobile5255]

Beautiful lady for beautiful car

[@saulespino2510]

Did I just watch a car commercial ?

[@miguelramirez644]

👌😎🏁

[@PJP_site]

I'll buy one) for us😊

[@D...M...A...]

Lots of Ferraris , only one Colleen ...

[@minatormyth]

Just like the 355, isn't the extra number 5 at the end mean that it has 5 valves per cylinder? Or does the V12 have 4?

[@yaroslavbozhdynsky]

no, it is 5,75 litres. F133 V12 didn't have 5-valves.

[@hectorcastaneda1405]

Great video. I love Ferrari but this is one of my least favorite body styles. Maybe it would grow on me if I owned it.

[@eclipsaevalorant7684]

I thought the fastest convertible was the koenigsegg agera

[@markyamaguchi9571]

Was this Ferrari model design by pininfparina???

[@yaroslavbozhdynsky]

Yes, also the roof is by Fioravanti.

[@markyamaguchi9571]

@@yaroslavbozhdynsky yes !!!

[@joshuamckelvie9768]

It’s so nice to see you again. I miss you and I miss your voice. The cars you post are always beautiful. I saw the ring on your finger so much respect to your marriage, but you are so beautiful. I would love to see you in a sun dress.

[@D...M...A...]

Shove in your clutch , pal ...

[@YoshiSSBU]

We got ourselves a simp

[@timsgta]

This is a targa not convertible. Daytona was a convertible...

[@FerrarisOnline]

Ferrari touted the car as the worlds fastest convertiible.... sooo...

[@bngr_bngr]

Not every Daytona was a convertible.

[@timsgta]

@@bngr_bngr when people think ferrari daytona they think convertible, the fing point is that the ccr and super America are NOT convertibles, they have removable or retractable roof sections which makes them a targa more than anything.

[@timsgta]

@@FerrarisOnline I understand your point, and didnt realize Ferrari said this. I learned something, thank you. Btw, I'm a fan of your channel, you guys do a good job, keep it up. I've been a car nut since I was a kid and appreciate the production that goes into this channels videos.

[@bngr_bngr]

@@timsgta I’ve always thought of the Daytona as a modern GTO, coupe not convertible. Maybe you are a Miami Vice fan.

[@markyamaguchi9571]

Next time you show case a Ferrari could you please mention who design it. Because to me the best and cool Ferraris Ware design by pininfparina. Sadly today's Ferraris are no longer design by pininfparina. They are no longer beautiful. Now Ferrari looks like a McLaren or some other electric hyper super car. I miss pininfprina. But at least I can find a pininfprina self-serve soda machine at Burger King or McDonald's. Ferrari wouldn't be where they are today if not for that pininfprina design.

[@bocederberg8512]

The 550 was designed by Pininfarina, so I guess the Superamerica is as well. I totally agree with you about the designer/constructer marriage!

[@francescomonteduro6344]

Maybe 5 means 5 valves per cylinder

[@bocederberg8512]

Well, it only has 4 valves per cylinder. So, no.

[@nikamegrelidze908]

back side is worse. I'll take 550M anyday

[@marcusbonello3106]

575 + cc per cylinder , 575 x 12 = 6900 i.e 6.9 Ltr

[@bocederberg8512]

That's how they named their cars up to the 70´s

[@Joey-wf3ix]

My Jag does 3.4 sec 0-60 stock with supercharger and the Vette does 2.2 and realer 1.9 and that yrs ago so wtf u talkin bout ha 😎

[@FerrarisOnline]

In 05 the jaguar convertible had a 0-60 of 5.8....

[@chrismargarites8722]

And both are common, become dated quickly, don’t wear well, and are not Ferrari. But they are bargains. So what was your point?

[@honchoryanc]

damn this video wont load for me, shame on youtube.

[@FerrarisOnline]

Oh no!!!!

[@remingtonsteele3220]

Yes, Aston Martin is the same with its stitching nonsense.....and more
