In our first official collaboration with awesome fellow UA-camr James at JayEmm on Cars, TheCarGuys get their hands on his dream first Ferrari - A 550 Maranello. In return, James gets to drive TheCarGuys’ Lamborghini 550-2 Valentino Balboni. A fair trade.
This is the first time TheCarGuys have driven a 550, but it’s always been on the wishlist for its smooth V12, sublime handling, and old school good looks.
Will the 550 win over TheCarGuys? Is there a chance of one coming to the garage? Do TheCarGuys give the 550 Beans? Is it really, one of the best modern Ferraris you can buy right now? All these questions and more will be answered in this week’s episode.
Thank you for watching

Agree with you on the TDF blue and tan interior
So do I
It still looks better than most new Ferraris
The 90s were the best Era for cars. I recall trying to race Beckham in his grey 550 leaving Man airport after an away match. My Mondeo ST did not keep up lol. PS. using welly to describe beens!
I am the proud/lucky owner of a 550...Black/black...your choice of the word "sublime" is 100% correct.
Brilliant vid. 👍🏻 Also saw JayEmm's review of your beautiful Balboni. Fantastic. 😃
Thanks! 😀
A great mix of information and entertainment as always. Thanks
Brilliant; I have been waiting for this ever since we saw your cameo on Jayems video a while back!
Glad you enjoyed it, Henry
Not a fan of these BUT you made a fabulous video with your epic presentation so watched til the end .
🙏🙏🏴
Iain Mcglynn Huzzah! Thank you
550 Maranello is one of my top 3 Ferraris of all time. I absolutely agree with your colour choices for this car. For me, it'd be toss up between the TdF blue and black colours. Excellent review, glad UA-cam recommended this video to me.
I’m glad UA-cam brought you here
Lovely! Been looking forward to this one.
Great to see you and James teaming up and I was really looking forward to your review of the 550. Was looking at the SuperAmerica this week - for something different, but the 550 just ticks so many boxes....ok, I will get one!
Love the enthusiasm! "What a time to be alive!" Indeed.
Fantastic video, love the passion when you have it the “beans”. What a high watermark in Ferrari folklore
Lovely car. Always liked them. Glad you mentioned that Ferrari should bring back the 'click clack' manual gearbox. I agree.
Absolutely
Loved this video Damian, a very engaging piece and a delightful car, Like you I've been checking these on autotader
Glad you enjoyed it, Roger
It's great to see another take on this great platform... These 550's seem to get better as they age
I love the fact that the 550 has been loved and driven and enjoyed, the way its meant to be.
Great vid thank you from California
Great video guys, a proper car review, of an interesting rare piece of motoring history... blimin loved it ..
Thanks, Terry
Great video Damian, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The shape of these 550’s just seem to get better and better as time goes by. Agreed also that they look fantastic in dark grey. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, Alastair
Greetings from Pakistan Sir Damien.
I have to correct you that all 550 came as manual
You say you were looking for manual 550, but manual is the only option you would get anyway.
However the 575 mainly came with F1 box, and a very small number of the 575 were produced in manual.
Sir Damien, perhaps you could do one episode on the 575, and maybe do a comparison between the 550 and 575
On a final note, we petrolheads here in Pakistan unanimously believe you are the best car show presenter. In we all believe you are better than Jeremy Clarkson.
Damian, I love your narrative of the 550, I felt like I was driving the car with you! Well done!
Fred Daniali Cheers Fred
Its on my dream car list, black on black , thanks for the review
Wow, good collaboration.
10:10 it must be a hell of a machine if it drove Damian to start singing! A collaboration between my two favorite UA-cam channels...perfect. 👍
Glad you enjoyed
It’s a good day when we get a new Car Guys video! And Watch Guys! Both are great! TY!
Wrist check!! Lovely Patek.
I can remember seeing them as a teenager for the first time on the front of french car magazines whilst on holiday at the time. We had all piled in to my dads 24v ford probe for the 2000 mile round trip to the south of France. Strange what sticks in the memory bank!
Very Cool Ride/Review...!!! Hope you can find a nice blue one with tan interior..!!!👍
Fantastic, 2 of my fav channels combining, I have always loved the 550m, still a bargain, tdf blue with tan interior for me please.
Totally agree. It’s aged extremely well. A beautiful big Ferrari. It’s definitely the navy with tan interior for me. 👌🏻
It nice to see a well used ferrari
Yes, bring back manuals
.... listen to driving enthusiasts
Ferrari don't listen, thats why lamborghini exists!
LOL, manuals coming back are the least of your worries, they are hellbent on killing engines in general and just having soulless electric cars out there. The reality is if the driving enthusiasts actually bought manuals they would still be around. 🤷♂️
@@venom5809 the 'overs' on 911 R would would indicate otherwise about enthusiasts
So much so Porsche built the touring
Lambo and Ferrari both not hitting big numbers now with new cars chasing lap times eventually wears thin since most people can't really drive like Michael Schumacher
@@venom5809 I refuse to have an automatic gearbox. So where do people like me sit in your little world?
Epic drive by at the start 😂 caught me unawares 🔥
The 550, 575, & 599 are some of my favorite cars. I find them beautiful.
Two of my favorite automotive UA-camrs collaborating! Cheers
More to come!
Saw a Barchetta in Sydney a few months ago and 👌 beautiful machines!
Another EXCELLENT chapter
Brilliant love this Ferrari modal 👌
The 550 Maranello is beautiful! It's pure class.
Cracking car! James has chosen well.
1:21 😂🤣
I agree too, preferring dark grey, black or dark blue. 👍
Great review Damian, I would love you to do also a test drive with a 456 which is also a true classic.
Coming soon!
One of the best Fezzas ever matey!
Ace review from my two fave cartoooobers! Three Tenners per gallon 😂👍. LalaLaaaaaaa!
I had one back in the day in silver over tan, and loved it. I don’t recall them producing the 550 in anything but a manual, did they? Keep up the good work Damian. I really enjoy your channel.
Correct, manual only
Finally! Since I have seen the Lambo Video at the other channel I was waiting for this Video. I am not disappointed! Cool Review including the history of it! 10 thumbs up!
Spot on with your analogy on the colour, this model should be TDF Blue or black over tan. Great video as always.
Ah, I see you’re a man of culture as well. Perfect ranking of the three color specs that suit this car!
👏🏻👏🏻
I agree with you on the colour these look great in silver with blue or black leather interior 😎👍
Love the 550! Beautiful example
The best!
“My name is Jack .... Campbell !! Jack .... Campbell !! ....President!!!”. Love the 550 from the film “The Family Man”. Actually once owned by Nic Cage too. What a Horse !!!
I love that film !
These cars have everything going for them - looks, power, manual transmission, natural successors to the Daytona, last of their kind, useable, great handling, great sound…. List is never ending plus ‘550 Maranello’ what a great name for a Ferrari. Look at prices of these over the pond in the USA - almost double! 550 prices only going one way, mark my words!
One of the great classic Ferraris imo
I love the 550 Marenello, agree on the Red, they look great in grey or silver, get one Damian 😊
James Martin is living the dream ! What a fabulous car. Red or not its a V12. Great video guys.
Couldn't agree more!
Make room for number 19 !
I still remember (and have somewhere!) the Clarkson video where the 550 is part of a group test on track. Tim Harvey loves it and I can see why. I have always thought it is a great looking car and yes, in a dark colour and manual it would be ideal.
Wonderful happy driving video experience. Well done! My 1997 550 has 75,000 miles on it and third place at Concorso Italiano; and was test mule for the first tuned exhaust for a 550 in the world. My 550WSR example was victim of arson in Cheshire in 2020. The 550 is THE Ferrari. Everything before and after is not what it ...IS!
I’ve become quite attached to the sticky switches in my 360...... Literally !!!.
Agree on that age of Ferrari’s, they are a sweet spot. 👍
Damian everything you’ve said about this Ferrari is true. My best friend has a TDF Blue with Curio leather interior. I’ve driven his car on a couple of occasions and thoroughly enjoyed it. It has an enormous reserve of torque and I recall being on the open road, 100 kph 4th gear, rounding a corner with 12 vehicles and a 2.7 km of straight road.... Beans, beans and more beans and I was exceeding 250kph, with all 12 vehicles behind me and an awesome sweeping left hand corner. These Ferrari’s are just so smooth and enjoyable to drive. So good luck in finding your ideal version Damian.
550 is a wonderful car. Great video. You should get one for your garage.
Brillaint car! Great review Damian. I say pick one up mate. Cheers!
Nice one!
Agreed about the colour.
Red just doesn't suit them as well as blue or grey/silver
Wonderful car and definitely ageing well. Agree about the spec too, has to be TdF blue or Grigio Silverstone for me. Would be great to see one in The Car Guys garage!
Clarkson did indeed love the 550. BUT he did say that the headlights are “like candles in jam jars”. And as a long term 550 owner I can attest that the headlights don’t match the engine. So night driving on unlit roads is a challenge
Nice Aquanaut!!!! Subbed.
The most Beautiful „Front End“ V12 Ferrari of the 90‘ .... also perfect during the 90’ the F355 GTS and 512 TR
Always liked the 550 Maranello. Top review.
Good choice!
Agree 💯 the 550 is the Ferrari that suits more subtle colours. I like the silver with bordeaux, TDF with tan or black and tan. Why is it there aren't more tan interior cars I love tan 👍
Thought about buying a black manual 550 four years ago when they were 50k euro. I bought my 355 spider instead. Now you’ve made me wonder if that was the right choice :-) Great review again Damien!
Nice delivery in this one, Damian
Thanks, Max
Brilliant and Beautiful!!!!
👍🏻👍🏻
Brilliant content
Thank you
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻... Can U do an episode on the other front engine classic coupes with 4 seats... 👍🏻
Yes a gentleman's GT car. That rules me out.
Hi Damian, I've watched your excellent review a couple of times now, and would have to agree with just about all of your comments and preferences. Do you have any thoughts about brake upgrades, other than a switch to the 575 fronts?
Great content as usual Damian. Iain Tyrell recently did a video on adjusting the throttle cable on a 456 to liberate some more power from the engine. Perhaps James’s sticky throttle requires the same fix?
Great tip!
You (and James) have given away the secret - 550 is the touring car to have! Just need to find more garage space.
Hit the nail on the head about Ferrari bringing back the manual gearbox. Imagine the new Roma with a manual :P
The most gorgeous GT ever made!!This car with a straight pipe has one of the best sounds ever made! The GT1 version was perfect on the tracks!!

Great job , love you guys, totally agree. Again how many of us don't like Ferrari's in red, I find myself looking for other colours and thinking ahh.. that's so much better than Corse, I don't know, just me let me know. I so look forward to all your videos, oh I watch James as well thanks for the cross pollination there, I saw him driving your Gallardo in the back ground. Cheers from Canada.
Glad you enjoyed it, Peter
Great review. It would be interesting to compare it to 612 Scaglieti. Manual ofcourse :)
I'm sure this was already mentioned by others, but I didn't see it in the comments... but EVERY 550 Maranello was a manual. Ferrari only introduced the F1 transmission in the 575. You correctly mentioned that most 575s were with that automated manual transmission, with only a few people opting for the manual on the 575.
I want either this or a 612 Scaglietti.
A man with good taste!
550/575 looks much better and is considerably cheaper.
Alex K. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think the 612 is elegant and quite a looker. Plus 4 seats.
@@Atombender a 612 is actually much cheaper than a 550/575
@@abjschuite8741 A 612 Scaglietti with a manual gearbox is more expensive than a 550 Maranello, usually.
Magnificent car....!!!!! BELLISSIMA....!!!!
Absolutely!
Sweet!
All the talk of the manual being the one to have.....The 550 only came in manual. It was the 575 that came in F1 and Manual and clearly what you really want is a manual 575 with FHP in TDF blue :)
Great video as always. Very enjoyable. Can't believe nobody else has asked this but why did you call the chip shop angry? 🤣
Because the guy inside serving is always mad, no matter when
@@TheCarGuysTV Hah ha I see. Thanks for clearing that up 👍
Great video as usual. Sadly I'm not too keen on the 550 shape....at least it drives well.
Legend
At 10:10 a little bit of me was thinking
" Just imagine if Jay came past backwards in the lambo......that would be content 😉
Yes it would, we'll check the footage
I'm pretty sure we could take both sets of footage, splice it together and create a full on 2-car-co-op!
@@TheCarGuysTV yes please. Pretty please.
It would be interesting to hear your take on the 599 GTB since they can be had for little today
Another great revue.I agree, bring back the manual.Cheers.Still waiting for the new SPIDER REVUE.
👍👍
I agree with you. Ferrari should bring back the gated shifter. For me that is what is missing in the Roma and the F8.
Ah I see how it is Damien you get the pista spider and make us wait even longer to see another video on it, you naughty man you 😜
Sorry!
TheCarGuys.TV haha it’s all good we love you anyway. Jokes aside this is hands down the best automotive channel on UA-cam. I’ve watched all the vids I found you at approx 21k subs and went back to watch all of them 👍👍
Ps love the watch guys too
An evening of autotrader is ahead of me... thanks chap... I plan on starting with the 550, meandering towards a Escort Cosworth and then ricocheting off into the bushes via a Pigani. It’s a worm hole you can never leave. 🤯
Yes it is
Sold my 458 spider yes I regret it every day yet I like new trying things only having two spaces I am now looking for a 550 Marinello to fill the void... great video I appreciate your work.
👍👍
I had a mondial with the same adjustable suspension. The solenoids on top of the strut had a nylon gear in them that turned the valve on the strut top, but if these were seized or sticking it used to round the nylon gear rendering them useless...£250 a corner to replace. Oh and that too had sticky switch gear.
You tube occupational hazard right there, Drives car, likes car, needs to buy car. You've enough room for just one more Damian :) Love the video thanks
Cheers, Jon
That’s a nice motor ain’t it 🥰 the 456 also tickles my fancy too 👌
If you don’t mind me saying, I’m not sure you were enthusiastic enough about the 550 😂😂😂😂😂
just seen the film on the 550 brilliant I totally agree 550 being all manuals is the right car having a 575 manual I love it did you ever buy one
Once again a superb video. As a Big Ferrari fan i loved it. Good work. If I was being pedantic I must point out that you start by saying "it's a 6 speed manual , the one to have" . You've no option as all 550 Maranello's were 6 speed manual 😊 Keep up the good work. Andy.
👍👍👏👏
