The '''Oldsmobile Aurora''' was a [[luxury car]] made by the [[Oldsmobile]] division of [[General Motors]] and launched in 1995. It was a luxurious 4-door [[sedan]] riding on the same [[Cadillac]]-derived [[GM G platform (FWD)|G platform]] as the 2-door [[Buick Riviera]]. Since the demise of the [[Oldsmobile 98|Ninety Eight]] in 1996, the Aurora became the flagship Oldsmobile. Also, in a way, it is the successor of the Ninety-Eight or the Eighty-Eight (at least for 2000). A [[V6]]-powered version was introduced in 2001 to supplant the Eighty-Eight and the LSS. It was introduced to bring new life to Oldsmobile, but did not display the Oldsmobile name on the exterior. There was also a rumor at the time that the name of the whole Oldsmobile marque would be changed to simply "Aurora."

Oldsmobile's original intention for the second generation was to move the Aurora further upmarket, retaining its V8-only drivetrain and sharing a platform with the new Buick Riviera, as the original Aurora had done. This would have created more room within the Oldsmobile lineup for a four-door Eighty-Eight successor known as the '''Antares'''. However, Buick dropped its Riviera development plans and fiscal trouble found Oldsmobile, so Oldsmobile was forced to re-engineer the Antares into an acceptable Aurora in short time. Still using the G-body design, the re-engineered aurora was the result, but retaining it's 4.0 V8 northstar still mounted to a 4T80E.

Oldsmobile also offered a [[V6 engine]] in the Aurora for the first time. The V6 in question was the [[GM Premium V engine#LX5|LX5]], a cut-down relation of the [[DOHC]] Aurora [[V8]], dubbed the "Shortstar." The V6-powered Aurora was produced for the 2001 and 2002 model years only, with production ceasing in mid-2002. This engine transferred power to the wheels using the GM 4T65E.

The second generation Aurora went into production on November 10, 1999. The last V6-powered Auroras rolled off the assembly line on June 21, 2002. The Final 500 Auroras ended production on March 28, 2003. These were all a special burgandy color, had special chrome wheels, and Final 500 badging. The Orion, Michigan plant built a total of 71,722 second-generation Auroras (53,640 in 2001, 10,865 in 2002, 7,217 in 2003).

2nd Generation Engines:

* 2001-2002: 3.5 L (214 in³) [[GM Premium V engine#LX5|LX5]] [[V6]], 215 hp @ 5600 rpm, 230 ft·lbf torque @ 4400 rpm.

The 1995 Aurora introduced Oldsmobile's [[Cadillac Northstar engine#L47|"Aurora" L47]] [[V8]], a [[DOHC]] [[internal combustion engine|engine]] based on [[Cadillac]]'s [[Cadillac Northstar engine|4.6 L Northstar V8]]. The Northstar engine and 4T-80E had been exclusive to Cadillac prior to the Aurora. The Aurora was highly regarded at the time for its refined engine, excellent build quality, well-balanced ride, and structural integrity. In fact, during normal crush-to-failure tests done by automakers to evalute body rigidity, the Aurora's unibody construction actually broke GM's testing machine. A frame-crusher otherwise used to test stronger truck frames had to be used instead, with the car exceeding federal standards for passenger cars by two times.

As a symbol of its clean break from other cars in the lineup, the Aurora bore no Oldsmobile badging or script, except on the cassette deck and engine cover. Oldsmobile quickly launched other new models with the Aurora "look," including the all-new [[Oldsmobile Intrigue|Intrigue]] and [[Oldsmobile Alero|Alero]], the refreshed [[Oldsmobile 88|Eighty-Eight]], and even updated the division's "rocket" logo to be more visually in-line with the Aurora's emblem. The 1997 redesign of the [[Oldsmobile Silhouette|Silhouette]] and the 2002 redesign of the [[Oldsmobile Bravada|Bravada]] also saw the "Aurora look" on their front fascia.

The first generation Aurora went into production on January 31, 1994. All Auroras were built in Lake Orion, Michigan, along with the [[Buick LeSabre]], [[Buick Park Avenue]], Buick Riviera, [[Oldsmobile 88]], [[Oldsmobile 98]] and the [[Pontiac Bonneville]]. Production of the first generation Aurora ended on June 25, 1999.

1st Generation Engine:

* 1995-1999 [[Cadillac Northstar engine#L47|L47]] 4.0 L (244 in³) [[V8]], 250 hp @ 5600 rpm, 260 ft·lbf torque @ 4400 rpm.

===Year-to-year changes===
1996: Daytime running lights were installed in 1996 Auroras, and Oldsmobile claimed to have eliminated the distortion in the rear window, which had produced many complaints. A MAF sensor was added before the throttle body.

1997: An electronic compass was incorporated into the inside rear-view mirror this year. The right-hand outside mirror now tilted down when the car was put into reverse, allowing the driver to see the curb edge. An in-dash CD player joined the optional Bose sound system, and a 12-disc [[CD player]] could be ordered with the Bose setup.

1998: For 1998, GM modified the suspension and steering to provide a more comfortable ride and better low-speed steering feel. Also new was an optional [[satellite navigation system]]/cellular phone called [[OnStar]].

1999: Aurora production continued through the year, but no 2000 model was offered. A redesigned 2001 model debuted early in 2000.

The '''Ferrari F355''' is a [[sports car]] built by [[Ferrari]] from May 1994 to 1999. It is an evolution of the [[Ferrari 348]] and was replaced by the [[Ferrari 360]]. It is a mid-engined V8-powered 2-seat coupe. One major difference between the [[V8]] in the 348 and that in the 355, apart from the displacement increase from 3.4 to 3.5 L, is that the 355 features a 5-valve per cylinder head. Like its predecessors and descendants, the F355 is a fairly common car (for a Ferrari) with approx. 11,273 units produced.
At launch, two models were available: the coupe [[Berlinetta]], and the targa topped GTS. The Spider (convertible) version was introduced in 1995. In 1998 the [[Formula One]] style paddle gear shift transmission was introduced with the Ferrari 355 F1 (note the dropping of the F before the 355) adding £6,000 to the dealer asking price.
Ferrari manufactured a race ready F355 Challenge model for use specifically in the Ferrari Challenge race event. The Ferrari F355 Challenge shares the exact same performance and dimension specifications as the original. Ferrari simply added racing seats, a downforce wing, and a roll cage. The F355 Challenge is not street legal. Only 109 were produced. Each F355 Challenge has an emblem on the rear which specifically denotes 'F355 Challenge'.
To signify the end of the 355 model Ferrari built 100 units with the designation 'Serie Fiorano' they are slightly lower than stock with a special handling package and remapped fuel chip. The majority of these are Spiders and can easily be identified by the numbered plaque on the dashboard.

See Wikicars' comprehensive '''[[Wikicars:Model Review Template|<MODEL> Review]]'''.

===Styles and Major Options===
Berlinetta: The Berlinetta was introduced in May, 1994 as the first in a successful series of F355 models. Initially, the 6-speed manual was the only transmission available. However, in 1997, the Berlinetta was the first ever road car to be equipped with the innovative F1-style gearbox management system. Derived directly from Formula 1, where it made its debut in 1989 winning the Brazilian Grand Prix, the electro-hydraulic system was operated by paddles behind the steering wheel using the F355’s conventional 6-speed manual gearbox. The new transmission guaranteed lightning-quick gear changes, with the additional advantage that both the driver’s hands could stay on the wheel at all times.

GTS: In 1995, Ferrari introduced the GTS model to the F355 family. The GTS model is based on the Berlinetta but offers a removable "targa-style" hard top roof, which can be stored behind the seats. Other specifications were identical to the Berlinetta. A total of 2,577 GTS models were produced, with 2,048 delivered with the 6-speed transmission and another 529 with the F1 transmission.

Spider: The F355 Spider debuted in 1995, it's Pininfarina-penned lines honed by 1,800 hours[2] in the wind tunnel, resulting in a blend of elegant style and aerodynamic performance. For the first time on a Ferrari, the semi-automatic soft-top was powered electronically. Initially, the Spider was offered with the 6-speed transmission. In 1997, the Spider was offered with the F1 transmission option. The Spider proved to be the second-most popular F355 model, with a total production of 3,717 units, of which 2,664 were produced with the 6-speed transmission and another 1,053 produced with the F1 transmission.

Ferrari also made a racing model, called the F355 Challenge.

The Serie Fiorano was released in 1999.

===Engine and Transmission===
The F355's main engine was a 3.5L Mid-mounted V8.

Derived directly from Formula 1, where it made its debut in 1989 winning the Brazilian Grand Prix, the electro-hydraulic system was operated by paddles behind the steering wheel using the F355’s conventional 6-speed manual gearbox. The new transmission guaranteed lightning-quick gear changes, with the additional advantage that both the driver’s hands could stay on the wheel at all times.

GTS: In 1995, Ferrari introduced the GTS model to the F355 family. The GTS model is based on the Berlinetta but offers a removable "targa-style" hard top roof, which can be stored behind the seats. Other specifications were identical to the Berlinetta. A total of 2,577 GTS models were produced, with 2,048 delivered with the 6-speed transmission and another 529 with the F1 transmission.

Spider: The F355 Spider debuted in 1995, it's Pininfarina-penned lines honed by 1,800 hours[2] in the wind tunnel, resulting in a blend of elegant style and aerodynamic performance. For the first time on a Ferrari, the semi-automatic soft-top was powered electronically. Initially, the Spider was offered with the 6-speed transmission. In 1997, the Spider was offered with the F1 transmission option. The Spider proved to be the second-most popular F355 model, with a total production of 3,717 units, of which 2,664 were produced with the 6-speed transmission and another 1,053 produced with the F1 transmission.

Ferrari also made a racing model, called the F355 Challenge.

The Serie Fiorano was released in 1999.

The '''Ferrari F355''' is a [[sports car]] built by [[Ferrari]] from May 1994 to 1999. It is an evolution of the [[Ferrari 348]] and was replaced by the [[Ferrari 360]]. It is a mid-engined V8-powered 2-seat coupe. One major difference between the [[V8]] in the 348 and that in the 355, apart from the displacement increase from 3.4 to 3.5 L, is that the 355 features a 5-valve per cylinder head. Like its predecessors and descendants, the F355 is a fairly common car (for a Ferrari) with approx. 11,273 units produced.
At launch, two models were available: the coupe [[Berlinetta]], and the targa topped GTS. The Spider (convertible) version was introduced in 1995. In 1998 the [[Formula One]] style paddle gear shift transmission was introduced with the Ferrari 355 F1 (note the dropping of the F before the 355) adding £6,000 to the dealer asking price.
Ferrari manufactured a race ready F355 Challenge model for use specifically in the Ferrari Challenge race event. The Ferrari F355 Challenge shares the exact same performance and dimension specifications as the original. Ferrari simply added racing seats, a downforce wing, and a roll cage. The F355 Challenge is not street legal. Only 109 were produced. Each F355 Challenge has an emblem on the rear which specifically denotes 'F355 Challenge'.
To signify the end of the 355 model Ferrari built 100 units with the designation 'Serie Fiorano' they are slightly lower than stock with a special handling package and remapped fuel chip. The majority of these are Spiders and can easily be identified by the numbered plaque on the dashboard.

The '''Ferrari F355''' is a [[sports car]] built by [[Ferrari]] from May 1994 to 1999. It is an evolution of the [[Ferrari 348]] and was replaced by the [[Ferrari 360]]. It is a mid-engined V8-powered 2-seat coupe. One major difference between the [[V8]] in the 348 and that in the 355, apart from the displacement increase from 3.4 to 3.5 L, is that the 355 features a 5-valve per cylinder head. Like its predecessors and descendants, the F355 is a fairly common car (for a Ferrari) with approx. 11,273 units produced.
At launch, two models were available: the coupe [[Berlinetta]], and the targa topped GTS. The Spider (convertible) version was introduced in 1995. In 1998 the [[Formula One]] style paddle gear shift transmission was introduced with the Ferrari 355 F1 (note the dropping of the F before the 355) adding £6,000 to the dealer asking price.
Ferrari manufactured a race ready F355 Challenge model for use specifically in the Ferrari Challenge race event. The Ferrari F355 Challenge shares the exact same performance and dimension specifications as the original. Ferrari simply added racing seats, a downforce wing, and a roll cage. The F355 Challenge is not street legal. Only 109 were produced. Each F355 Challenge has an emblem on the rear which specifically denotes 'F355 Challenge'.
To signify the end of the 355 model Ferrari built 100 units with the designation 'Serie Fiorano' they are slightly lower than stock with a special handling package and remapped fuel chip. The majority of these are Spiders and can easily be identified by the numbered plaque on the dashboard.

The '''Ferrari F355''' is a [[sports car]] built by [[Ferrari]] from May 1994 to 1999. It is an evolution of the [[Ferrari 348]] and was replaced by the [[Ferrari 360]]. It is a mid-engined V8-powered 2-seat coupe. One major difference between the [[V8]] in the 348 and that in the 355, apart from the displacement increase from 3.4 to 3.5 L, is that the 355 features a 5-valve per cylinder head. Like its predecessors and descendants, the F355 is a fairly common car (for a Ferrari) with approx. 11,273 units produced.
At launch, two models were available: the coupe [[Berlinetta]], and the targa topped GTS. The Spider (convertible) version was introduced in 1995. In 1998 the [[Formula One]] style paddle gear shift transmission was introduced with the Ferrari 355 F1 (note the dropping of the F before the 355) adding £6,000 to the dealer asking price.
Ferrari manufactured a race ready F355 Challenge model for use specifically in the Ferrari Challenge race event. The Ferrari F355 Challenge shares the exact same performance and dimension specifications as the original. Ferrari simply added racing seats, a downforce wing, and a roll cage. The F355 Challenge is not street legal. Only 109 were produced. Each F355 Challenge has an emblem on the rear which specifically denotes 'F355 Challenge'.
To signify the end of the 355 model Ferrari built 100 units with the designation 'Serie Fiorano' they are slightly lower than stock with a special handling package and remapped fuel chip. The majority of these are Spiders and can easily be identified by the numbered plaque on the dashboard.
