Ferrari 355 F1 Berlinetta: This was the first ever road car to be equipped with the innovative F1-style gearbox management system

    Ferrari 355 F1 Berlinetta

    This was the first ever road car to be equipped with the innovative F1-style gearbox management system, available on all three versions: berlinetta, GTS and spider. 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.
