With its two-seat cockpit, mid-mounted V8 engine and a body that is still one of the best looking designed for a passenger car, he 355 F1 has all the style, peed and exclusiveness that has made the Ferrari name a legend of the motoring world. What makes this F355 F1 different is a radical transmission: a manual gearbox, ut without a clutch pedal! Sophisticated electronics look after the function normally carried out by the driver's left foot. Instead of a clutch pedal and gear shift, he F355 has two steering-wheel-mounted levers. The right one is to select a higher gear, he left one for a lower gear. Where the gear stick would normally be is a little lever for selecting reverse. To start the engine, he ignition key needs to be advanced a notch and both gearshift "paddles" pulled back to ensure the transmission is in neutral. Keep turning the key and the 3.5-litre, 0-valve V8 fires into life, urbling away behind the front seats with a subdued rumble that is a portent of what's to come. The engine produces plenty of power, ith a maximum of 380 bhp at a very high 8250rpm. At low revs, t is surprisingly docile and civilized. To start off, he driver selects first gear. As the throttle pedal is depressed, he clutch takes up automatically. Apart from being fun, he semi-automatic gearbox is intended to be fast and foolproof. Gear changes are far quicker than with manual gear changing, nd there's no chance of muffing a change or missing a gear. Driving the F355 F1 is everything that might be expected of a Ferrari, n that it's fast and fun. Instead of being a highly strung Italian thoroughbred, t feels like a car that can be depended on to do the right thing, hile delivering ample loads of thrills. The F355 has more than enough acceleration push down on the accelerator pedal and the transmission's electronics will take revs to 6000 rpm before the clutch is engaged and you're away in a bellowing, ire-shrieking ride of 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds. The F355 is really easy to drive. Doing away with a gear shift and extra pedal make it a breeze. It starts reliably every time - which will surprise owners of more elderly Italian machinery - and it even handles less-than-perfect road surfaces with grace. The suspension is set up to handle corners impeccably, nd while the ride is firm it isn't harsh or jarring. The seats have adjustable side squabs for broad drivers. They are comfortably trimmed in leather. The air-conditioning works well, s does the radio - although the engine sounds much nicer than the radio, o the stereo often becomes redundant. The vehicle is Due for Service and new clutch we can work something out to get it done at agreed price.
