Car of the Week: Ferrari 575M

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www7.pic-upload.de/27.03.11/6tkvitsguc2i.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="429" src="http://www7.pic-upload.de/27.03.11/6tkvitsguc2i.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Hey Guys<br /><br />After a periode of time now again a Car of the Week. This week its the Ferrari 575M, my model is the 'GTC' edition.<br /><br />The 575M replaced the 550 in the year 2002 and was built till 2006. The following model is the 599.<br />The 'M' stands for the abbreviation of 'modified', or 'modificato' in italian and the '575' refers to the engine displacement in litres (5748cc).<br />The Maranello-engine is a V12 with a maximum power of 515 PS, the engine for the 'GTC handling package' and the Superamerica has 25 PS more.<br />With a maximum speed of 327 km/h (203 mph) it reaches within 4.2 seconds the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) and the 0 - 1,000m in 21.9 seconds (with the semi-automatic gearbox).<br /><br />For about 17,000€ there was a GTC handling package available. It included a Brembo brake system (which were based on the F1 technology), unique 19 inch wheels, a low-restriction exhaust system. The GTC stands for Gran Turismo Competizione.<br /><br />There's also a convertible version, whichs Targa glass panel roof rotates 180° at the rear to lie there flat. The GTC package was optional. Ferrari marketed it as the world's fastest convertible with its top speed of 320 km/h (199 mph). In total there were 599 built.<br />After Enzo Ferrari's philosophy there should always be one fewer car available than what the market is demanding.<br /><br />In 2006, at the Geneva Motor Show, Zagato presented a special version of the 575M for the Japanese Ferrari collector Yoshiyuki Hayashi which was called 575GTZ.<br /><br />For the FIA GT Championship Ferrari built from 2003 - 2005 a GTC Version (same as my model). Even though they had some success in their first season, the Prodrive-built 550-GTSs were more capable.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www7.pic-upload.de/27.03.11/qbh1nmtnefqv.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="429" src="http://www7.pic-upload.de/27.03.11/qbh1nmtnefqv.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www7.pic-upload.de/27.03.11/sqgxkgm3dykh.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="429" src="http://www7.pic-upload.de/27.03.11/sqgxkgm3dykh.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www7.pic-upload.de/27.03.11/74f39kgzbkov.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="429" src="http://www7.pic-upload.de/27.03.11/74f39kgzbkov.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www7.pic-upload.de/27.03.11/f7qda2c5g74.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://www7.pic-upload.de/27.03.11/f7qda2c5g74.jpg" width="419" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www7.pic-upload.de/27.03.11/icyyb14xowjw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://www7.pic-upload.de/27.03.11/icyyb14xowjw.jpg" width="430" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www7.pic-upload.de/27.03.11/ofx48nsnfz2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="http://www7.pic-upload.de/27.03.11/ofx48nsnfz2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Text source: wikipedia.org, pictures taken by me</span><br /><br />Lisa<br /><br /><br />You can find me also on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/thecaraddict">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/thecaraddictblog/">Flickr</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/TheCarAddict">twitter</a>, <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/2145590/the-car-addict">Bloglovin</a> and of course on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/autofreak4ever">YouTube</a>.<br /><script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script><fb:like font="arial" href="http://the-car-addict.blogspot.com/" show_faces="false" width="450"></fb:like>
