The Ferrari F355 is a sports two-seater that replaced the Ferrari 348 model. It was an evolutionary model with a right-hand-mounted V8 engine. Like its predecessor and later followers, this is a fairly common Ferrari model. The engine capacity was slightly increased from 3.4 to 3.5 L. The biggest innovation was that 5 valves per cylinder were designed. Several models were produced: the Berlinetta coupe, the tarpaulin GTS and the convertible Spider. In 1998, an innovation was introduced - F1-style gearshift levers behind the steering wheel. A special version of the F355 Challenge was also produced, which was designed for Ferrari ring races and had sports seats, a spoiler and a safety frame, but the engine remained the same. 109 Challenge units were produced.
