SCX presents the Ferrari 550 GT Maranello driven by the Italian Fabio Babini and his co-driver, the Austrian Philipp Petter, in the 2003 FIA GT Championship. This model by the firm with the prancing horse emblem features a truly spectacular design, in line with this Italian manufacturer's philosophy. The generously-proportioned front of the vehicle has striking lines and a straight finish which gives it a highly sporty look.

The car basically uses two colours: red, which predominates on the bonnet and the rear, and yellow, which is is used for the bumpers, sides and roof of the car. These colours are the same ones used by Ferrari to distinguish its corporate identity throughout its successful history.

Among the features which stand out in the side view are the wide, low-profile tyres, the silver alloy wheels and the lowered suspension which gives the vehicle an even more predatory look. Mention should also be made of the attractive black wing mirrors, which contrast with the colours used for the rest of the bodywork.

The petrol cap is another of the eye-catching details on the side. Inside the vehicle the reinforcing bars and the driver’s clothing are worth pointing out. In general, this is a car with a wealth of air intakes, as well as a long, very wide body which adds to the feeling of sportiness and passion which characterises the vehicles of the “scuderia”. From behind, the enormous black spoiler which sticks out beyond the sides of the car is the most striking feature.

Other distinctive features at the rear include the use of the colour red, the set of rounded red lights (two at each side) and the decal with the legendary Ferrari symbol.

Driving Impressions

The predatory look of the rear spoiler is the first thing to catch the eye as the car moves, completely flat, along the track. Its classic sports car shape gives the Maranello spectacular lines. It loses almost no stability either going into or coming out of curves, so all inertia forces end up in a long, smooth skid which can be exploited by working the trigger to achieve attractive moves with the rear end.

A relatively moderate wheel base, short in comparison with other cars in its class, together with the generous guide distance, create a front triangle which enables it to take bends comfortably.

The rear wheel track will make it easy to negotiate tight bends, making it a pleasant car to drive. On the negative side its high weight slows down acceleration and prolongs braking distance; while this is not a cause for major concern, it needs to be borne in mind when racing the car.

The 550 GT Maranello is a very similar car to others in its class, which allows more models on the starting grid without involving too many differences in performance.
