The Ferrari 575 Superamerica is a tribute to the open-top twelve-cylinder engines from Maranello. With its innovative rotating hardtop, it combines performance with a convertible feeling.
With only 559 examples produced, the Ferrari 575 Superamerica is one of the rarest and most fascinating V12 models from Maranello. The vehicle presented here dates from 2005, was acquired from its first German owner with only 6,000 kilometres, and is in impeccable condition. The elegant colour combination of black paint and beige leather interior stands out from the classic Ferrari red and gives the vehicle a timeless, elegant appearance.
Ferrari and Pininfarina have created an automotive work of art with the 575 Superamerica. Its unique Revocromico roof, which can be swivelled backwards by 180 degrees in a matter of seconds and offers electrochromic dimming, makes it a technological icon. This innovative feature was developed in collaboration with Saint-Gobain and enables infinite adjustment of light transmission - a rarity in automotive engineering that sets it apart from all other open-top Ferraris. Under the bonnet is the legendary 5.7-litre V12 engine with 540 hp, which accelerates the Superamerica from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds and enables a top speed of 320 km/h. This makes it one of the fastest open-top twelve-cylinder vehicles of its time.
The 575 Superamerica was a collector's car right from the start. Shortly after its launch, all 559 examples were sold - exclusively to Ferrari's favoured customers. The vehicle shown here has been regularly serviced over the years at Kessel in Lugano, all service work is fully documented, and the Ferrari “red book’ emphasises its originality. In recent years, it has not only been admired but also driven - at events from Monte Carlo to St. Moritz, where it has always impressed with its reliability and performance.
Anyone who has ever driven the Superamerica will never forget the fascination - the incomparable feeling when the V12 raises its voice and the wind blows through the open roof. The vehicle is a highlight of any Ferrari collection and a tribute to the golden era of open-top twelve-cylinder cars from Maranello. Ferrari set standards back in the 1950s and 1960s with the “America” and “Superamerica” models. But it was the iconic Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spider that crowned this era. The Daytona was followed by a long break, during which there was no open-top twelve-cylinder from Maranello. The tradition only returned with the 550 Barchetta from 2000. However, it had some limitations with its temporary soft top. Ferrari recognised its customers' need for an open-top V12 that was more suitable for everyday use and developed the 575 Superamerica as a result. With its innovative, rotating glass roof, it offered the perfect combination of coupé and convertible for the first time - without compromising on design and performance. As the direct successor to the legendary open-top twelve-cylinder models, it combined the elegance of a grand tourer with the fascination of a high-performance sports car. A true collector's item that transports this golden era into the present and future.
