The DFW Car & Toy Museum has welcomed a spectacular addition to its extensive collection: a meticulously preserved 2002 Ferrari 575M Maranello. This iconic vehicle represents a pinnacle of automotive engineering and design, showcasing Ferrari's commitment to high-performance grand touring vehicles.
The 575M Maranello stands as a testament to Ferrari's engineering prowess, featuring a remarkable 5.7-liter quad-cam V12 engine capable of producing 508 horsepower and 434 lb-ft of torque. Its advanced technological features include a sophisticated Skyhook suspension system with adaptive dampers and a six-speed F1 sequential transaxle, ensuring exceptional performance and handling.
Beyond its mechanical excellence, the vehicle offers a luxurious interior experience. Equipped with automatic climate control, electric windows, and a Kenwood audio system, the car balances performance with comfort. Unique touches like a floor-mounted fire extinguisher underscore its track-ready pedigree.
Museum owner Ron Sturgeon emphasizes the significance of this acquisition, noting that the 575M Maranello embodies Ferrari's core principles of power, design, and motorsport engineering. With only 15,000 miles on its digital odometer, the vehicle represents a remarkably preserved example of early 2000s automotive excellence.
Automotive enthusiasts and casual visitors alike can now experience this remarkable machine as part of the museum's collection of over 200 classic, exotic, and rare vehicles. The museum offers free admission, providing unprecedented access to automotive history and engineering marvel.
