Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1994, the Ferrari F355 marked the return of a beautiful Ferrari after what some would call the brutally designed 80?s cars. The F355 was an evolution of the 348 that was not only prettier but had superb drivability, improved performance and reliability. Apart from a small increase in engine displacement from 3. 4L to 3. 5L, the 355 saw the introduction of 5 valves per cylinder. This new head design allowed for better intake permeability and resulted in an engine that was considerably more powerful, now producing 375 horsepower. The car was first available in manual transmission and followed with an F1 paddle operated system in 1997.
