Ferrari’s return to front-engined grand touring cars in 1996 with the 550 Maranello naturally led to demand for an open variant. While the 550 Barchetta Pininfarina delivered a compelling, limited-production interpretation, its minimal weather protection constrained usability. In response, Ferrari developed a more versatile solution for the 575M Maranello in the form of the Superamerica, distinguished by its innovative “Revocromico” rotating hardtop.

Constructed with a carbon fiber frame and electrochromic glass, the roof system was the first of its kind fitted to a production car. With the top closed, its opacity could be adjusted via cabin control, ranging from near full transparency to just one percent light transmission. Furthermore, the Superamerica could be transformed into a convertible at just a press of a button, with the roof rotating back to rest flush with the boot lid in just 10 seconds, leaving the rear window in place to function as a wind deflector.

Its performance was commensurate with its hallowed model name, drawing from an uprated version of Ferrari’s then-flagship 5.7-liter V-12. Through revisions to intake flow and reduced exhaust back pressure, output was increased to 532 horsepower at 7,250 rpm, alongside 434 pound-feet of torque at 5,250 rpm. The result was formidable: 0–60 mph in approximately 4 seconds and a top speed of 199 mph, enabling Ferrari to credibly present the Superamerica as the world’s fastest convertible at the time of its debut.

Of the 559 Superamericas constructed—each sold within weeks of its debut—fewer than 200 are believed to have been destined for North American clients. Just a handful of these said to have been equipped with the desirable six-speed gated manual transmissions, as seen on the example offered here.

Formerly part of the esteemed collection of Brandon Wang—whose stable has included such celebrated Ferraris as a 250 GTO and 250 Testa Rossa—this Superamerica is specified in a manner befitting such company. Supplied new by Ferrari of Houston in October 2005, it is finished in the restrained yet luminous shade of Grigio Nürburgring (Fer 101/C) over Pelle Grigio Scuro (4302) leather, complemented by charcoal accents seen on the piping, upper dashboard, and steering wheel. Its accompanying window sticker documents a host of desirable options, including red brake calipers, Daytona-style seats, Scuderia Ferrari fender shields, a yellow tachometer, and a leather-trimmed rear shelf.

Under the consignor’s ownership, the car has been superbly maintained, receiving a comprehensive belt, tensioner, and fluid service in 2024 by J Frazar Motorcars of Savannah, Georgia, followed later that year by a detailed inspection and refurbishment of its Revocromico rotating hardtop mechanism by GTO Engineering of Los Angeles. At the time of cataloguing, the car showed just over 13,000 miles and is accompanied by factory books with leather pouch, service documentation, and Ferrari Classiche certification.

As one of just 559 examples produced, and among an elite subset equipped with a manual gearbox, this Superamerica captures a fleeting moment in Ferrari history: when analog engagement, advanced engineering, and dramatic design converged in a single, unforgettable grand tourer.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys.com/auctions/mo26/.
