Paul Frére apparently didn’t quite keep up with the facts. 18:52 the F355 does not have a ladder style frame, the 348 introduced the monocoque, which the F355 inherited. The involvement of (ex) F1 drivers was a smart move, but mainly from a PR perspective. Yes, they drove prototypes and shared notes, but Ferrari very much had (and has) its own dedicated test drivers that decide the setup. What Di Montezemolo did change (beginning with the F355 and 456) was that Ferraris should be easier to drive and live with, hence the F355 introduced electromagnetic suspension with a normal and sporty setting.
The legendary Paul Frere discussing the legendary F355. Thanks for this content.
Amazing how the factory has changed since then. It’s a marvel of automation now.

This is the coolest car content on youtube. Also the stuff that is legendary thanks for sharing
Brilliant. Owned an early F355 for 15 years now. One of the greatest. Think Paul must have filmed that after lunch.
Thank you....just came across this video. It's amazing..❤
the 355 is such an underrated Ferrari
It's not underrated, prices are rising - it is a jewel of the Ferrari world
