SCHUMACHERS PRIVATE CAR, the Ferrari 550 Maranello came to its first international Motor Show in the latest version, the 0.25-litre bigger 575 M Maranello. Basically the same car but with bigger displacement, more power and more torque. And – yes, Michael has now got the 575 to his private garage.

Interesting and sadly news is about the 575 set up. Compared to 550 M the new 575 has grown just too soft. The handling is much more comfort than handling – it has changes its DNA from a sharp Drivers Car to a (too) soft Ministers Car. A Handling Day test made by test drivers from the British printed media Autocar showed this clearly: 550 won Handling Days in the 90´es, the 575 was only in front of one car, the 156 GTA.

Displayed in Paris is a deep black 575 with red interior.
