@@scd Some people on the internet's are saying on the resent C8 Z06 launch control video that the C8 Z06 sounds like the 355, what's your take, have you listened, if you haven't I'll wait for your response.
My brother, a wealthy self-made man, had one in bright yellow. Used to go shopping to Tesco with his husky on the seat beside him. Glorious, glorious car.
These 5 valve per cylinder cars have a unique sound. Let's not forget why the f355 was such a success though, it was down to two things, firstly how disappointing the 348 was, but more importantly, how the 1990 NSX massively showed up Ferrari. Honda forced Ferrari to pull their finger out.
Great comment, very insightful and interesting! Yes the Acura NSX was a sensation when it came out. The exotic cars of the day were not very good quality. The NSX changed the game with excellent build quality, Honda reliability, and were easy to live with. Then they added amazing handling, exotic looks, and a great engine to produce a true legend. I was obsessed with the NSX. The first time I saw one in person was in 1994. It was parked on a residential street in Los Angeles. It was glorious! My friend and I stood around for probably 15 minutes just looking at it from every angle and drinking in how wonderful it was in every way. Ferrari got complacent with the 348 and the NSX is at least partly responsible for how truly glorious the 355 is.
@@aaronneal3873 the NSX did not have a better interior than the 348, far from it, but everything else was technically superior, humiliating in fact. It really was one of the best things to happen to Ferrari!
History has been rewritten on the 348. The initial reviews were in fact very positive, which caused huge demand, and a waiting queue of up to six years. So it wasn’t a disappointment at all. The early cars did have issues (consequently fixed), a story which was later embellished by Di Montezemolo, the new CEO of Ferrari and the man who tried to sell the F355 as a completely new car, even though it was in fact a reworked 348.

@@BuddhaSunn to be honest - I’m not on top of maintenance right now. But a major service here in the UK alongside getting some nightly bits done too only cost me £2100 or something like that. We have recently had twins so I’m not getting out in it so much
I remember the Performance Car mag review of this machine when it came out. The headline was: 'Ferrari's £84,000 Bargain'. Just one of the prettiest and most glorious cars of all time.
I remember the original test video of the 355 by Jeremy Clarkson on top gear. He described it as the best car he had ever driven at the time and subsequently went out and bought one. I’ve loved it ever since. It’s an incredibly simple, beautiful design. Thanks for the brilliant video.
The 355 has been my favourite car ever since I was a teenager, I still drop my jaw and gasp every time I see one, be it on TV, in a magazine or in the flesh, the best looking car I've ever seen to date. Thanks for sharing 👍
@ Neil Milner I agree this is what I thought a ferrari was when I was growing up this Ferrari was just the best car ever created to me besides my aunt Silvia's 1980 something porsche I used to love visiting that woman in Malibu
Great car. I hired a 355 for a weekend trip to Dorset in the early 2000s and loved it. More engaging that the modern equivalent and sounds so much better than any turbo charged motor.
The 355 is glorious! And the sound of that thing is on par with anything I've ever heard. The 355 and the 458 are my all time favorites of the rear engine V8 Ferraris. The 488 and the F8 are faster and are amazing machines no doubt. However from my perspective they don't hold a candle to the 355 or the 458 in either looks or engines. I'll take the free revving naturally aspirated engines in the 355 and 458 over the turbo engines in the 488 and F8 any day. And in the looks department there is no comparison. The 355 and 458 have a timeless beauty and elegance that the busier styling of the 488 and F8 can never compare to. Those cars have presence but so do the 355 and 458, while also being absolutely gorgeous at the same time.
As the owner of both an F355 and 328, I can categorically say, no they really don't😀 They look awesome, but are troublesome, create more drag than putting a barn door on the roof, and due to their nature, they often fail to illuminate the road properly lol.
@@thomaschristopherwhite9043 ? So Japanese cars use pop up headlights in the year 2027? Odd. It has nothing to do with the electricals. It's simply down to how the lights project. This was an issue for several cars with pup-up headlights, including the MX-5 and other Japanese cars.
@@AB-80X Dude if you think they're gonna make pop headlights the same way they made it back in the day then I don't know where you've been. Even traditional shoe making and watch making aren't made the same way. Why care about aero when everything now a days is fast as shit. Hyundais are blowing things off the highway. That's the world we live in today. You don't think they can't make pop up headlights that are more reliable, watertight, and with better illumination? With all the LED's in the world you think they can't? Do you still have a rotary phone or something?
Three things come to mind after enjoying this great video: 1) well done! 2) that Blu Pozzi livery is stunning 3) I wish journalists would stop bashing the F1 gearbox and the 348. It’s getting really old. I currently own a ‘92 348ts, a ‘94 F355 GTS (manual) and a ‘98 355 spider (F1). I love them all equally because they all offer a different driving experience.
Absolutely agree, our 1999 F1 is a marvel to drive, and we have it since 2003 . And yes we’ve owned and driven several manuals. Both amazing in their own way.
At last, just got a F355 GTS ❤. Such a pity it's now illegal to retro-fit that original steering wheel, so stuck with the big ugly thing! But who cares when you have the best car ever, so good be able to drive at sensible speeds but still get all the thrills🤩
I've owned one (Red of course) for me It's way better that any modern sport car. I don't like modern cars, too much tech for my taste. This kind of cars (pure driving) are for men, modern sports cars are for boys. :)
Still one of the best looking "recent" Ferrari's. Even the 430 Scud doesn't look as good. Yesterday's Hero. Clarksons favourite. 😁 PS. I can only Imagine how much TLC it needs though. I bet a clutch is about 5k. 🤔😳😉
Back in 2000 I had the good fortune to hoon a 355 and a 360 round Thruxton. Both great car's. The 355 is way prettier but the 360 was just on a different planet to drive. I've still got the video somewhere 👍👍
I like my original steering wheel, it is style of the 90s. No probs at all since 14 years of owning my beloved F355 GTS. The momo is like a foreign body.
I remember a spirited drive behind a 355 Spider in my Boxster S back in 2006 over the Moors by Menwith Hill in North Yorkshire. What a sound and view. Great classic modern day Ferrari..
What a dream. The best looking car made in my lifetime. The first Ferrari I ever had a ride in and the first one on my list...in this spec too. Utterly perfect. If the ownership/maintenance wasn’t so expensive, it would be in the garage already!
Don't confuse quick with "fast". Some newer cars may be quicker to 60mph, or in the 1/4 mile etc., *but* a Ferrari 355 can hit 180mph and very few cars, or drivers, can do that -- *That* is FAST.
Sadly, since I won’t be obtaining the lottery anytime soon, my dream F50 is completely out of reach. The next Ferrari I would want to get is the 355. Unfortunately, the maintenance on something like this is outrageous. I managed to obtain my FD when I was very young and have owned it now for 23yrs. It’s maintenance is nowhere near this and it’s marginally “faster” than this. So as much as I love the 355, if I don’t win the lottery, I’ll hold out for the F50. 😉
I think it's quite interesting that everybody who reviews these and talk about the Italian seating position, completely fail to remember or realize that you could have spacers installed to get the steering wheel in the position you wanted. They came in everything from 10mm to 70mm thick. Even today, most Ferrari dealers who know what they are doing, will offer clients a steering wheel spacer if the car fits poorly as is.
Great Sound , your MRS BMW may be faster but mo where near as cool and does not have the soul as a Ferrari plus BMWs do not make 9 year old boys say " Wow mom look at that"
The 355 was the mandated Ferrari. The gulf in performance and technology between the NSX and the 348 was prodigious. It should be called the Luca. Easily the shrillist-sounding powerplant ever made. When it came out the stat sheet was mind-boggling. A functioning F1 box is still a nice diversion.
Anything above 200BHP/Ton starts to be good fun to drive - however tears start to drop because of emotions kicking in based on looks, sound, engine feel and character….!
Such an elegant car. I reckon the GTS is the best one to get too. And blue with cream. This is a lovely example. Love the simplicity inside & out, the steering wheel & gearknob are gorgeously inviting.
When I think of Ferrari s that's the ones I think of , not new ones . I'd rather have this over a new one , imo older Ferraris are way cooler than new ones...
I'm glad for the maintenance cost of these cars. It's always gonna keep the cost to entry down and for no real reason. I read an article that interviewed a highly reviewed ferrari dealer and service center in New Jersey I think that said 348s and 355s that have been well taken care of only cost a couple hundred more on minor services and like maybe 1-2k more on major service bc a lot of good shop will take the engine out of the non engine out service cars anyway.
UNREAL sounds, colour and video thanks lads 🥰😍🔥 Any average Joe like us who thinks they need to have 700 odd horsepower or that they could even use more than 400 of those 700 properly is a kook. I’d kill for an updated version of this. Also couldn’t think of needing more than maybe a 718 GT4 or similar....with some Sharky bits 😎
People wax lyrical about the 355.. And fair enough, it is an icon. But as a previous 360 owner, you get everything from a 355 (including that exhaust note) from a stock 360 with stock muffler! It is one of the biggest tragedies in motoring that people always change the 360 exhaust. Yes, it's enormous, yes it breaks apart, smokes and covers the engine in white shit... But the stock 360 sound is THE best V8 sound of all time. However.. Now as a (very, very happy) F430 owner, I will say they the build quality of the 360 (and 355) isn't great. They are a small tw0t to keep on the road. The 430 is a major step on. But those older Ferraris just *feel* like Ferraris. They are a great place to start a Ferrari adventure. Still very quick, still exhilarating. Very little electrical bollocks. You have to begin there before you get in anything faster! ✌️😎
We're right where a generation will be born into a world without automotive drama like this, its fading, don't get me wrong performance and speed remain...but soul and drama, a high revving Ferrari exhaust it's going out of vogue...how incredibly sad. I have a 2000 360 and as it ticks up in value it's tempting to let go, but the sounds it makes (mine has full performance exhaust), the way it feels in the hands, the joy of knowing the entire point of the car is to produce goose bumps every single time you drive it, and it does, it's a magical thing (mine being a bit further down the road of tech than 355). Just magic, it's impossible to understand until you've driven one, in my case owned one.
Truly the last of the go-cart Ferrraris. I want one so badly; I'm just waiting for the right one to come along. Anyone have any suggestions of where to look for a cherry pre-owned 355 or 360? Thanks in advance.
This is a very well made video of a superb car.

Sorry for nitpicking, but the F355 has 375 hp vs 316 hp for the last 348 (GTB/GTS). And torque 363 Nm, up from 324 Nm. Thus a 59 hp/39 Nm gain.
It’s amazing what can be achieved on a production budget nowhere near a major broadcaster.

Fantastic, I love them🤗
We know you do! Yours sounds epic
Driving to the countryside in a Ferrari...absolute pleasure!!!congrats great video!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm glad for the maintenance cost of these cars. It's always gonna keep the cost to entry down and for no real reason. I read an article that interviewed a highly reviewed ferrari dealer and service center in New Jersey I think that said 348s and 355s that have been well taken care of only cost a couple hundred more on minor services and like maybe 1-2k more on major service bc a lot of good shop will take the engine out of the non engine out service cars anyway.
Thanks for watching
Excellent video! I had high expectations and you guys delivered.
Thank you kindly 🙌🙌 check back soon
One of the best sounding V8 Ferraris ever
UNREAL sounds, colour and video thanks lads 🥰😍🔥
Any average Joe like us who thinks they need to have 700 odd horsepower or that they could even use more than 400 of those 700 properly is a kook.
I’d kill for an updated version of this.
Also couldn’t think of needing more than maybe a 718 GT4 or similar....with some Sharky bits 😎
People wax lyrical about the 355.. And fair enough, it is an icon.
But as a previous 360 owner, you get everything from a 355 (including that exhaust note) from a stock 360 with stock muffler! It is one of the biggest tragedies in motoring that people always change the 360 exhaust. Yes, it's enormous, yes it breaks apart, smokes and covers the engine in white shit... But the stock 360 sound is THE best V8 sound of all time.
However.. Now as a (very, very happy) F430 owner, I will say they the build quality of the 360 (and 355) isn't great. They are a small tw0t to keep on the road. The 430 is a major step on. But those older Ferraris just *feel* like Ferraris. They are a great place to start a Ferrari adventure. Still very quick, still exhilarating. Very little electrical bollocks. You have to begin there before you get in anything faster! ✌️😎
Yep,half the power and half of the good looks!!😊
Ferrari f355 looks and sounds amazing. My favourite all time car👍
We're right where a generation will be born into a world without automotive drama like this, its fading, don't get me wrong performance and speed remain...but soul and drama, a high revving Ferrari exhaust it's going out of vogue...how incredibly sad. I have a 2000 360 and as it ticks up in value it's tempting to let go, but the sounds it makes (mine has full performance exhaust), the way it feels in the hands, the joy of knowing the entire point of the car is to produce goose bumps every single time you drive it, and it does, it's a magical thing (mine being a bit further down the road of tech than 355). Just magic, it's impossible to understand until you've driven one, in my case owned one.
Mega...that sound! Personally big 360 Modena fan...but after that video...
heads need cleaning on the intro, pictures grainy.
Truly the last of the go-cart Ferrraris. I want one so badly; I'm just waiting for the right one to come along. Anyone have any suggestions of where to look for a cherry pre-owned 355 or 360? Thanks in advance.
