  • Berlinetta
  • GTS
  • Spyder
  • Challenge
  • Serie Fiorano

At launch, two models were available: the coupe Berlinetta, and the targa topped GTS. The Spider (convertible) version was introduced in 1995. In 1998 the Formula One style paddle gear shift semi-automatic transmission was introduced with the Ferrari 355 F1 (note the dropping of the F before the 355) adding £6,000 to the dealer asking price.

In 1995 Ferrari introduced a race ready F355 Challenge model for use specifically in the Ferrari Challenge. The Ferrari F355 Challenge shares the exact same performance and dimension specifications as the original; Ferrari simply added racing seats, a downforce wing, and a roll cage. 109 were produced. Each F355 Challenge has an emblem on the rear which specifically denotes ‘F355 Challenge’.

To signify the end of the 355 model Ferrari built 100 units with the designation ‘Serie Fiorano’, the car was introduced in Geneva Salon 1999 together with new 360 Modena. These variants are slightly lower than the standard model with a special handling package and remapped fuel chip. Serie Fiorano cars are Spiders and can easily be identified by the numbered plaque on the dashboard.
