What’s a Ferrari F355 Spider worth today? Year-by-year price breakdown
Published on Oct 10, 2025 at 7:15 AM | By Alessandro Renesis
The Ferrari F355 Spider is a 1990s icon, a Ferrari classic, and it defines Ferrari’s golden era.
Introduced in 1995, this mid-engine convertible features a 3.5-liter V8 and Pininfarina styling.
It is increasingly gaining traction among collectors, mostly because some think it’s underrated, and therefore underpriced.
After pandemic-fueled surges and 2025’s steady plateau, classic Ferrari prices are going up again, and the F355 is leading the charge.
Understanding the Ferrari F355 Spider and its rarity
Produced from 1995 to 1999, the F355 lineup totaled around 11,273 units worldwide, making it Ferrari’s most-produced model at the time.
Of these, approximately 3,717 were Spiders, and 2,664 were manuals, a sweet spot for purists who want manuals and nothing else.
Technically, the F355 Spider was a revelation.
Its Tipo F129 3.5-liter DOHC V8, with five valves per cylinder, churned out 380 horsepower at 8,500 rpm – the highest specific output for a naturally aspirated road car then – propelling it from 0-60MPH in 4.6 seconds and on to a 183MPH top speed.
The chassis, a stiffer evolution of the 348’s monocoque, paired with independent double-wishbone suspension and electronically controlled damping, delivered razor-sharp handling without sacrificing ride comfort.
The retractable soft top was also a first for Ferrari.
It folded away in 6.5 seconds, which was outstanding and still is, even by today’s standards.
What elevates the Spider’s appeal is its emotional pull.
Unlike the later 360 Modena’s more clinical demeanor, the F355 felt more alive, with hydraulic steering that telegraphs every nuance, a clutch pedal demanding precision, and pop-up headlights evoking the brand’s analog soul.
Rarity plays a role too: limited editions like the 1999 Serie Fiorano (just 100 units, with enhanced brakes and carbon trim) command premiums, pushing F355 Spider 2025 value higher for pristine examples.
In a market favoring ‘unassisted’ thrills, the F355 is definitely one to keep an eye on.
Historical auction data at a glance
Auction results reveal how Ferrari F355 price history has unfolded.
Back in 1999, as production wound down, median Ferrari F355 Spider values idled around $69,829.
Fast-forward to the mid-2020s, and prices are still relatively low.
In May 2025, a 1995 “Spider Serie Fiorano” – one of the rarest early prototypes with Fiorano tweaks – fetched $87,675 at auction.
A pristine 1999 F1 Spider Serie Fiorano sold for $86,500 with no reserve in October 2024, and another example in mint condition fetched $121,000 in Monaco in July 2025.
Some models are already selling for more than that, though.
A 1995 Ferrari F355 Spider hit $240,800 in March 2025, and a 1997 Spider sold for $337,750 in August 2025.
Another example – a 1999 model – sold for $90,500 in June 2025 on SBX Cars.
Year-by-year price trend overview
In 1999, fresh off the line, values averaged $70,000, dipping to $60,000-$65,000 by 2005 as depreciation hit hard, partly because the new 360s overshadowed the F355’s charms.
The 2008 crash accelerated this, pushing medians below $50,000 by 2013, when second-hand Spiders languished at $37,000 – a bargain for analog bliss, but a red flag for collectors back then.
Turnaround brewed in the mid-2010s.
By 2018-2019, medians climbed to $67,000-$73,000, buoyed by enthusiasts rediscovering the F355’s hydraulic purity amid the rise of electric cars.
The pandemic turbocharged this: 2020 saw a 15 percent bump to $80,000 as remote work funded garage queens.
This frenzy peaked in 2022, when with low-mileage manuals surging 25 percent.
Values stabilized in 2025.
If you’re in the market for one now, you can expect to pay between $90,000 and $120,000.
Why values shift – demand and collector market
The F355 Spider’s value dance isn’t random; it’s choreographed by a collector market craving analog escape
Ferrari F355 depreciation has largely reversed since 2013, thanks to surging demand for ‘unassisted’ Ferraris – cars without drive-by-wire numbness.
Younger buyers want V8s and manuals, and they want nostalgia but also accessibility.
As classic Ferrari values climb, the F355 shines as an entry-level play.
Unlike pricier 288 GTOs, it offers track days without terrorizing the wallet.
Current Ferrari F355 listings, asking prices, and factors affecting values
At the time of writing, there are 24 active listings in the US.
The cheapest will set you back $84,900 while the most expensive will cost you $155,000.
Assuming the car is in mint condition, the main element is mileage.
Obviously, most collectors want low-mileage example.
The second-most important factor is the gearbox, because collectors tend to prefer manuals.
Lastly, and perhaps not surprisingly, red examples are generally the most coveted.
