Today, I drive the car of my dreams. In fact, it's a car I thought existed ONLY in my dreams - but it turns out once upon a time somebody actually specified my nearly perfect Ferrari F355. Here's what makes it so special.

My dad had a F355 GTS F1 in silver and red interior and that looked awesome. The F1 box was like being kicked in the back when you shifted from 1st to 2nd under any load. I agree, one of the prettiest Ferrari's ever made. The main issue was starting the bugger. Battery was always flat despite using the isolator and getting to the battery (hidden behind the front wheel) was a real pig. However, when it did run and you revved it to the 8500 red line, it was like a banshee screaming in your ears.........pure heaven.

Just leave the car on a trickle charger. There is no reason for a battery to go flat with the battery cutoff switch activated. Are you sure the car didn't have some kind of aftermarket devices wired directly to the battery?

Before buying my F355, I test drove a friend's '95 F355 and couldn't believe how light the steering felt. I really disliked it, however I still kept my sights on finding a 355 for myself since it was my dream car. When I finally found it and test drove it, I was pleasantly surprised at how great the steering felt. It was perfectly weighted, IMO. So I bought the car and enjoyed if for 4 years. I see someone's commented on how to improve the power steering. I'm proof that it can definitely vary from car to car. Thanks for the review. I see a 355 in your future.

Do you know that Blu Pozzi and Blu Swaters were the names given to praise the dealers (In France and Belgium)? How cool and Ferrari-style way to give you the gift that will stay for the generations. Imagine doing a good job, selling lots of the cars and one day, you get the letter from Maranello stating that they will name every car in those colours with your name. And I do agree that blue 355s are the most amazing looking cars. There was one in Italy for 1 week with the similar spec (Swaters and no sport seats) with the super high premium (+50% to the similar red) and it was gone in days. This is the value of the perfect spec in Ferrari. All the Best James. Keep on hunting.

@@amgpagoda ALL 355s have header and valve guide issues. Ferrari didn't learn to use heavier gauge steel for the manifolds and sintered steel valve guides until very late 355s and 360s. The OBD1 cars (only 1995) had the fewest issues as they have fewer exhaust sensors, but still had issues a plenty... Fabulous cars but that $10k major service bill every 3-5 years just sucks. 360 and especially 430 are a far better cars with less maintenance.

What I also like very much is the way of schiftung in the open metall link. i also own a 458 Speciale, which is also an outstanding car, but I like the clean shape of the F355, it‘s not as aerodynamic as the 458, but it‘s the shape of a ferrari what I have imagine every time in my life, how a ferrari have to look.

And being a ‘94 car, it also has the manual gearbox, the non-airbag steering wheel and the Motronic 2.7. But it’s Rosso Corsa over black leather seats and black carpets 😅. The car in the video comes very close to my dream spec which would be exactly like my car, but Blu Swaeters or Blu Pozzi with tan or cuoio interior.

IMHO the F355 strikes the perfect balance between the early V8 cars of the late 70s / early 80s with their high profile tires, creases and grills and the bolder and more aggressive design of later generations from the 2000s onwards. The F355 is delicate yet clean in its appearance. And I agree about the engine noise, the F355 lacks the deeper boomier exhaust sound of the 360/F430/458, but that energetic wail is just perfect.

Brilliant review by someone who takes the very essence of a car and distills it into what makes it great.....This guy is absolutely spot on in his appraisal of the F355. The only person I have heard talking correct about the steering wheel (I had the wrong type😭) I bought a white one to replace my white Testarossa (which I kept for my collection). I loved every minute of it, except the maintenance. It was so labour-intensive (Ferrari admit that) that I must have spent a lot more than the purchase price on maintenance throughout the years! It was ludicrous!! They sorted that out with the F430 onwards, thankfully. I didn't replace it till I got a 458 (white again). All the others inbetween just didn't give me the Fizz. It's just so beautiful! Yes, it's slow, not particularly good handling and the steering and brakes not much better than my 1967 330 GTS, but that's not the point! It was the smile on my face!😊 I still get in it and drive it on special occasions, and the looks I get is just priceless. Only my Testarossa gets more attention. So I recommend, if you can, definitely buy one......only have very deep pockets to keep it going!

The spec on that is awsome!!! My dream car & spec is the blue F40 that used to belong to Sam Moores the photographer/KZbinr. Always loved the F40 but that one is perfect!!!

An awesome car in my preferred colour, and a real dream car for me. Nearest thing I have had to a car like this is a carrabean blue toyota mr2 mk2 with a 3L V6 engine conversion. The dreaded tin worm got to that though about a decade ago now. Seen people are putting 2GR 3.5L V6's in them now and are even more rapid - if you can find a tidy car these days since they stopped making then around 2000...

Wow, what a beauty queen 🥰🥰🥰 Early model, Berlinetta, great color, 6-speed, the steeringwheel and incredible seats. Just like a real 355 lover like myself wants a 355.

A close friend of mine has owned a Berlinetta 355 for around 25 years…in mint condition…his favourite by streets in an impressive fleet/collection…on the 6 occasions I’ve been in it with him it has played up significantly (knock in suspension, failure to start, petrol cap not opening, etc, etc, etc)….regardless, it’s his go to steed.

F355 works very well in Rosso when equipped with a Challenge rear grille. Also, if you can find a Challenge exhaust you’ll transform the sound too (albeit near deafening).

That colour combo is on my wish list. I have a carbon black (dark blue/black depending upon the light) x5 and just love the idea of tan and black interior to go with it. Mines not a Ferrari and it’s on the ULEZ kill list, but it’s mine all the same and I love it. Don’t we just all love our cars? 😀 great video. Nearest thing I ever had was an X1/9 😁

I so very much was hoping through out the vídeo that this was a non powered steering car, particularly when I saw the non airbag steering wheel… I must admit I was a bit disappointed! But the vid is great, and you really kept me on suspense! 😅 and on the end you ended up refering not only that but also the Fiorano pack cars (Evo magazine 355 Fiorano vs Lotus Exige anyone?), you are not only lucky, I’m glad you get to be the keeper of the great cars that you do!!! You mister, you are a true enthusiast!

My father imported one of the first ever made f355. In first month we made 10k km. With different exhaust and catless it did go 300kph. Great memories i have to say! For sure one of if not the best Ferrari ever.

Fantastic car, and great and informative video. Mine is a later airbagged model with standard seats, and OEM exhaust. The steering does lack a little feel, yes, however it was not a deal-breaker because so many other qualities the car offers, including great chassis dynamics. The berlinetta with a manual gearbox was the choice for me too. I have been very tempted to get the Capristo stage 2 though! I am biased; to my eyes the 355 is the best looking V8 Ferrari since the 288GTO.
