The Rise of the Ferrari 575M Superamerica - duPont REGISTRY (blog)
Enzo Ferrari always knew that marketing his cars in the United States was a key to his success. No one will deny that the 575 Maranello was a proper Ferrari. It debuted in 2002 with a 5. 7-liter V12 and a six-speed manual transmission as an updated 550M, touched up with smooth Pininfarina styling. For the discerning American driver who wants the feel of a convertible, they decided to add an electro-chromatic roof panel. The real treat is that if you want to feel the wind in your hair, this roof can rotate 180 degrees to lay flush into a concave depression in the deck lid. Because they are among the last V12 Ferraris to offer a manual transmission, we have witnessed a recent surge in their sales.

Only 64 cars were built with the manual transmission option, and they are among the most sought after collectible of the modern era. Source: blog.dupontregistry.com
