The Ferrari F355 GTB is a 1999 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta in Giallo Modena. The last true evolution of the venerable line of 2+2 sports cars began with the 1962 250 GTO and continued to the 348. This video offers a definitive look at one of the best Ferraris ever made, my own 1999 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta in Giallo Modena, a.k.a. Fly Yellow.

Car looks like a dream on the road, she’s perfect.

[@StudioMotors]

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.

[@dontbsilly8104]

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.

[@StudioMotors]

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.

[@paulkrajenke6529]

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.

[@ZondaF355]

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

[@StudioMotors]

I agree with you all the way, really a special car

[@CarPassionChannel]

Sleepy eye and calm, what a great description!

[@556musicman]

This is exactly my dream car. Roof. Gated Manual. Yellow. 355. Oof. Gorgeous.

[@getplaning]

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.

[@mthxjzz6462]

F40 ..Engine removal 355 - around 2500 bucks. Not that bad.

[@KingReza]

Great car, just bought F355 GTS Pozzi blu with carbon sports seats + Fiorano pack

[@StudioMotors]

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!

[@KingReza]

@@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

[@StudioMotors]

Reza are you picking up the 355 today?

[@KingReza]

@@StudioMotors I will get the car Friday, so looking forward

[@jacksalami9945]

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

[@StudioMotors]

The sound is half the fun, it's incredible.

[@shannondavis3338]

The sound of these is insane, I love the shape too. A classic for sure.

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.

[@michaeld.7302]

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!

[@armennersisyan6458]

Love the video the car and the vibe.

[@islamicsalami7208]

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!

[@StudioMotors]

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

[@user-gl2eq2ly4g]

Great vid man....new to your channel ..... excellent

[@StudioMotors]

Thanks and welcome! :)

[@tarek307]

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***

[@rossstiver7249]

For reference, you do NOT need to pull the engine to replace a clutch in this car

[@jerikosuratos]

I remember this car. This was an owner from Kansas. What an amazing spec. Great video, and a very good buy. Congrats!!!

[@StudioMotors]

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 :)

[@minhwinn4426]

Great video. I owned a 95 yellow just like this for over ten years and I learned a lot from your video. Thank you.

[@StudioMotors]

That's such huge compliment, Minh thank you! When did you sell it?

[@minhwinn4426]

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.

[@StudioMotors]

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!

[@greggoose1]

Wow..awesome 355 man. Thanks for sharing.

So..how much you want for it?

[@kasimirdenhertog3516]

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!

[@Fioravanti.80]

Great body, shame about the wheels!

[@StudioMotors]

You don't like the wheels?

[@Fioravanti.80]

@@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! :)

[@jamesturbo5490]

​@@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!

[@oiygfdxssfgg]

The car look so much better with the factory wheels

New wheels not look so good like origin!

[@StudioMotors]

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]

First year production was actually 1994

[@StudioMotors]

No sir, the first year production is 1995. Obviously they produced the cars in 1994 for the 1995 model year, but the 355 runs from 1995-1999.

[@StudioMotors]

@@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?
