The Fiorano represents the final F355 produced by Ferrari and was a truly special car; it topped a line which will
forever be installed with the pantheon of great cars. The F355 Serie Fiorano's production was limited to a run of
100 cars, all of which are spiders.
The Fiorano is easily identified by its lowered stance, the result of a revised suspension based on that of the
Competizione racing variant. Further racing influences on this special model are the red brake calipers, racing
brake pads, and cross-drilled rotors which compliment the drilled aluminum pedals found within the car. This F355
has the feel of a race car due to reprogrammed electronically-controlled shock absorbers, larger antiroll bars,
stiffer springs, and quicker steering ratio.
Serie Fiorano is distinguished by interior Carbon Fiber accoutrements, suede-covered steering wheel and a silver
plaque inscribed with the car's production number on the dashboard. To distinguish it's limited production the
Fiorano's exterior is adorned with a black Challenge rear grill and factory-mandated enamel Scuderia Ferrari
shields. These are not the typical glued on variety you see on so many other Ferraris. Instead, these are properly
recessed into the fenders by Ferrari.
For 1999, Ferrari introduced a limited production of F355 Spider models designated, "Serie Fiorano" Launched in
March, 1999, this limited production run of 100 planned units (104 actually produced) included a number of
performance enhancements:
Here is a list of modifications that make the Fiorano not just a rare car but a more focused driver's car as well:
1. Red brake calipers
2. Suede steering wheel
3. Dedication number plaque
4. Rear challenge grill
5. Carbon fiber interior accents (Console/trim around radio and three gauges above)
6. Carbon fiber F1 paddles
7. Carbon Fiber center console
8. Scuderia shields recessed in front fenders
9. Competizione-derived Fiorano suspension package-(consists of stiffer front and rear springs, lowered ground
height, dedicated set up for the steering device, providing less assistance at low speeds and racing type brake
pads mounted on red calipers.)
10. Challenge rack
11. Front/rear challenge roll bar
12. Stiffer rate coil springs
13. Shock ECU specific to Fiorano setup
14. Drilled and ventilated brake discs
15. Carbon Fiber Door Sills
This is a rare example of an attractive model with the major belt serviced having recently been completed. The
Fiorano edition gives the car tasteful additions and makes its extreme rarity particularly attractive to the
