During the late 1960?s a new type of Ferrari was launched. With its mid-mounted V6, the Dino was a complete departure from the firms traditional Ferrari GT's, all of which used front-mounted V12's. However, Dino componentry had also been proven in racing and the 206 began an illustrious line of entry level Ferrari supercars. Evolving into the V8-engined 308 by 1975, 328's and 348's continued the baby Ferrari's reputation for pretty design and spirited performance. F355's were the fifth incarnations and from May 1994, offered as either a fixed head Berlinetta or targa-topped GTS.These were joined by a Ferrari Spider 12 months later while from 1997, Ferrari began offering an F1-style transmission operated via paddles behind the steering wheel. A pioneering gearshift mechanism that featured the most advanced technology of any production road car, the Ferrari F1 unit was substantially better than those used by Porsche and Alpina while Ferrari?s own Valeo system from just a few years earlier seemed terribly outdated by comparison. Changes were focused primarily around making the F355 faster and easier to handle on the limit, the latter having been a regular bone of contention with 348 road testers. There was a new electronic damper control system that fed information on road speed, brake pressure, suspension loadings and steering into a computer that decided exactly how firm the dampers needed to be. Derived from lessons learnt with active suspension, the Ferrari F355 system worked even better than the McLaren F1's and was accompanied by full underbody aerodynamics. This radically improved airflow beneath the car and increased stability at high speeds. Also very impressive was a new engine that could boast the highest output of any normally aspirated road car unit in history. Like the 348, F40 and 288 GTO, the F355's 90 V8 was positioned longitudinally in a mid-mounted configuration.This gave razor sharp handling and thanks to the active suspension, probably the finest balance dynamics of any series production car you could buy. Displacement was 3496cc (91cc up on the outgoing 348) thanks to a bore and stroke of 85 x 77mm respectively. The most important developments were five valve cylinder heads whilst Ferrari's comprehensive use of lightweight materials (titanium connecting rods and forged alloy pistons etc.) resulted in a powerful yet extremely compact engine. With compression set at 11.1:1 and Bosch Motronic M2.7 engine management, output was 380bhp at 8250rpm. Needless to say, the Ferrari F355 was an exceptional performer, 0-60 in just 4.6 seconds and a 185mph top speed having been a quantum leap on the Ferrari 348.
