Ferrari 550 Barchetta – Another Classic Ferrari Unit

Ok yes here is more praise for Ferrari. Some may say that this particular brand gets more writing time than any other manufacturer but I would have to immediately counter and say that it is all with good reason. Today we will be briefly discussing the used Ferrari 550 Barchetta, which, as the title suggest, is yet another classic and legendary vehicle provided to us by the number one Italian manufacturer that is Ferrari. Of course to own this little piece of history it will set you back nearly a quarter of a million dollars; but don’t worry as buying this vehicle is no longer an option. A limited edition model when it was announced, the 550 Barchetta was only made available to 448 enthusiasts who will now have the privilege of owning this truly amazing machine. But is this vehicle really worth the money? Well for any collector a prized used Ferrari vehicle is very much a prized possession and so in that respect (and the fact that it was only made available to 449 people), the Barchetta could well be considered a fine purchase. However, the question is whether it is able to compete with some of the other limited edition models that have seemingly been added to the Ferrari range over the years? Without being one to judge, I would have to say that I am a little unsure whether this is indeed the case; simply because I feel that the 550 Barchetta has a few design elements that appear a little out of place. Then again, maybe I am being a little too picky because on the whole the 550 Barchetta is an excellent auto that does deliver a fantastic driving experience.
