The 550 Barchetta Pininfarina was a limited edition fully open version of the 550 Maranello, to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Pininfarina, thus the company name formed part of the model designation. Its purpose was to evoke memories of the barchetta and spider models of the early fifties.
A strictly limited edition of just 448 numbered cars was built, with the last leaving the factory in December 2001.
A pure and functional front-engined V12 roadster in the tradition of cars like the 166 MM, the 550 Barchetta Pininfarina was equipped with a manual soft top for emergency use only. This simple expedient helped to keep the car’s kerb weight down to that of the coupé, despite the additional strengthening of the chassis.
