Latest Information on Ferrari F355
The Ferrari F355 was a two-seater sportscar built between 1994 and 1999. It evolves from the Ferrari 348 and was replaced by the Ferrari 360. It has a great mid-engine V8, provides a fantastic driving experience and produces the most insane sounds. It easily is one of the top cars to come out of the 90s. However, its widespread knowledge that its maintenance costs were absurdly high. Early models had many problems, having all been revealed within the first two years. Timing belts need replacing every three years while the exhaust manifold has been known to crack. Repair costs for the exhaust can start from R50,000 and go up to R124,000 for the belt.
