  Ferrari 575M Maranello - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ferrari 575M Maranello is a two seat, two door, grand tourer car built by Ferrari.
The 575M will be replaced by the 599 GTB for the 2007 model year.
Updates from the 550 include a renewed interior, but with substantial improvements inside, including bigger brake discs, a larger and more powerful engine, a different weight distribution, refined aerodynamics and fluid-dynamics and an adaptive suspension set-up (the four independent suspensions are also controlled by the gearbox, to minimize pitch throughout the 200-milliseconds gear shift).

 Car and Driver Magazine - Ferrari 575M Maranello - August 2002
The 575M Maranello is an updated version of the 550 Maranello, the six-year-old car we recently favored over the brand-new Aston Martin Vanquish in a comparison test late last year (November 2001).
The clutch in the 550 was heavy and the gearchange stiff, and since the 575M uses the same gearbox (it does have increased airflow to the gearbox oil cooler and larger synchros for the first and second gears, but the ratios remain the same), we bet the new car would be similarly tiresome to shift.
Ferrari engineers opened up both the intake and exhaust tracks, bumped the compression ratio from 10.8:1 to 11.1:1, and fitted a drive-by-wire throttle — a mandatory addition for the use of the F1 gearbox.

The drive back from Ferrari UK’s headquarters around the busy M25, had been an uneventful one, as had a subsequent trip that evening into London behind the wheel.
Really, I’d rather shift gears with the big alloy topped gearlever going through the open gate that Ferrari are famous for and operate the clutch with my foot, rather than leave it to electro-hydraulics, however clever they may be.
But the 575M isn’t about such behaviour, features like the launch control is there because Ferrari can do it, not because you’re ever likely to use it.
