550 Maranello's facelift and the first front-engined Ferrari V12 to offer F1 paddle-shift gearbox alongside the traditional 6-speed manual. 5.7 V12 NA, 508 bhp, two-seat front-engined Coupe layout. GTC handling pack added 2005 — stiffer suspension, bigger brakes, sports exhaust — now the desirable spec. Superamerica targa-roof variant 2005-2006 with rotating glass-and-electrochromic roof, 559 cars. Replaced by the 599 in 2006. The 575M Manual GTC is a serious appreciator — the F1 cars are catching up but still the cheaper buy.
