In 2004, Ferrari released a limited edition of 559 examples of a striking and innovative convertible version of the F575M: the Superamerica. The F575M (Modificata), introduced in 2002, was an evolution of the acclaimed F550 Maranello. The Superamerica takes its name from the iconic Pininfarina-designed Lampredi V12-powered GT cars of the 1950s and 1960s and retained the F575M's 5.748cc engine, six-speed 'F1' manual gearbox, and chassis, along with its overall design, while simultaneously featuring a unique rotating photochromatic roof. It is the work of Pininfarina's chief stylist Leonardo Fioravanti, the creator of the legendary 365 GTB/4 'Daytona'. It was the first roof of its kind ever fitted to a production car and was constructed using a carbon fiber frame integrated with electrochromic glass. The transparency of the glass could be adjusted from the interior to let through varying amounts of light, allowing approximately the same amount of light to enter as a conventional glass sunroof in the lightest setting and only 1% of the sun's rays in the darkest setting. At the touch of a button, the Superamerica can be transformed into a convertible, with the roof rolling back in just 10 seconds and aligning with the trunk lid.
Finished in Grigio Silverstone with brown leather interior, this beautiful Superamerica was delivered to the first owner, a resident of Düsseldorf, via the official dealer of Ferrari and Maserati, LUEG Sportivo from Meerbusch near Düsseldorf in Germany. As stated in the accompanying original maintenance booklet, LUEG also carried out the pre-delivery check on February 3, 2006, as well as a service in 2009 when the timing belt was replaced. In May 2018, another maintenance service was carried out, again by LUEG, at 3.015 kilometers.
The Superamerica changed hands for the first time in June 2010, passing to its second owner in nearby Krefeld. Our seller bought the Ferrari in 2022, but never registered the car in his name; therefore it has had only two registered owners from new, both of whom used the car very sparingly. Mileage (at time of cataloging) is just over 3.500 miles from new. Importantly, while in the seller's care, the photochromatic glass roof was replaced at a cost of almost $68.000 excluding labor.
This Superamerica is in virtually 'as new' condition, presents itself beautifully in its stunning color, and has a virtually unmarked interior: more importantly, none of the switches have the sticky surface common to many other Ferraris from that period. The car is offered with German registration documents; all booklets, including the original service book in the original leather pouch; a European Certificate of Conformity (in German) issued by Ferrari; and the invoice for the glass roof. It would be hard to find a better example.
