Thanks to its timeless styling and its naturally
aspirated V12 engine, this 2002 Ferrari 575M is the type of car that will land
you endless style points on the street or at various car meets.
At the time of writing, with 2 days left to bid on
Bring a Trailer, the highest anybody has gone is US$ 70,575, although it’s safe to say that number is going to go up later
on. In fact, after poking around AutoTrader for other 575Ms, we didn’t find
anything cheaper than US$ 115,000, while most tend to go for anywhere between US$ 125,000 and US$ 170,000.
According to the ad, this car has 63,408 km on the clock, which for a normal car wouldn’t be that much at all,
but for an Italian exotic is much more than the average, which could explain
the lower-than-expected price.
The seller says that the red on tan 575M
looks just as it did when it left the factory and that it was never driven
during the winter. Inside, it has power sports seats, Ferrari-branded mats and
steering wheel-mounted paddles to operate the F1 six-speed semi-auto gearbox.
Power comes from a 5.7-liter V12 that sends 515 PS and 588 Nm of torque to the rear wheels. On paper, a brand
new 575M hits 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds and maxes out at 325 km/h. Even after a decade and a half, that’s still serious firepower, so the
winning bidder won’t feel short-changed at all.
