	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 F355, 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.

	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.

	~~Certain [[automobile\|vehicles]] come~~ in ~~different trim levels or body styles~~. ~~Features and major options should~~ be ~~mentioned here~~.		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.
	F355 ~~Coupe~~: The ~~base~~ model, with a ~~full metal roof~~
			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.
