This is the 1996 Ferrari 550 Maranello Made in Italy Rosso Corsa/Black in 1:18 scale by BBR.

The 1996 Ferrari 550 Maranello marked Ferrari’s bold return to a front-engined V12 grand tourer after more than two decades, setting it apart from its mid-engined contemporaries and reaffirming the brand’s tradition of powerful, elegant GTs. Hand-built in Italy, it featured a 5.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 producing 485 hp, paired with a beautifully mechanical gated six-speed manual that delivered an unfiltered, deeply engaging driving experience. Unlike many rivals focused solely on track prowess, the 550 blended long-distance comfort with thrilling speed and balance, making it a true gentleman’s Ferrari — equally at home crossing continents as it was tackling winding alpine passes.

The spacious and luxurious cabin is finished with fine materials such as leather and aluminum, creating a comfortable and refined environment. The driving position is optimal, offering precise and direct control of the car.
The 550 Maranello was produced until 2002, leaving a legacy of excellence and refinement in the world of Gran Turismo. Today, it is considered a modern classic, prized by collectors and enthusiasts around the world

This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. BBR models are
known for their accuracy of scale, shape and detail throughout the industry. Each model is created using
a variety of production processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite
material referred to in the industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and
waterslide decals are often used for the most authentic replication.
BBR models are usually produced in very small production quantities that often sell out at "pre-order"
