This F355 Spider is pure analog bliss — no driver aids, just raw mechanical feedback and a V8 that sings to 8,500 rpm. That gated 6-speed manual is the ultimate tactile connection, where every gear change is a deliberate celebration.
Overview
SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this 1999 Ferrari F355 Spider showing just 22,194 mi (35,718 km) on the odometer at the time of cataloging. Finished in Nero over a Black leather interior, this Pininfarina-styled Italian exotic is a throwback to the time of analog driving fun.
From the final year of F355 production, today’s Spider features the sinuous lines that helped make these Ferraris the ultimate 90s posterized dream car. The 109 hp/liter specific output from the 90° V8 was the highest of any free-breathing engine of the era and its 8,500-rpm remains the kind of Italian siren song every enthusiast should experience at least once.
Benefitting from a recently completed $25,000 service, this 1999 F355 Spider remains largely original aside from tasteful upgrades like the manually-operated soft-top conversion and carbon fiber engine bay trim. Looking sharp in triple black, it also boasts the must-have open-gate 6-speed manual.
