     Comments    

Ferrari's final hundred 355's were all F1-equipped Spiders that formed part of a limited edition known as the Serie Fiorano. Debuting during March 1999 at the Geneva Salon, it was launched alongside the all-new 360 Modena that understandably deprived it of many column inches. This was especially unfortunate because the firms small batch of last-of-the-line machines were actually the ultimate 355 road cars. All were enhanced with the Competizione-derived Fiorano suspension pack and featured wide track, stiffer springs, a thicker anti-roll bar, drilled and ventilated brake discs and competition brake pads.

A Competizione-sourced steering rack complimented the other set-up changes whilst alterations to the computer mapping provided a little more power and torque. Challenge rear grilles and enamelled Scuderia Ferrari shields were fitted as standard whilst inside, the competition theme continued. There were a number of carbon-fibre inserts (normally only available as expensive special order options), these being found on the centre console, door sills and paddle shifters, the steering wheel receiving a suede covered rim. Only 100 Serie Fiorano's were initially going to be made but Ferrari eventually manufactured 104 (including 3 Eurpean cars and 1 South African car).

 The Fiorano package added several options to the standard car:
 Racing brake kit
 Cross drilled brake discs
 Red calipers
 Suede steering wheel
 Dedication number plaque
 Rear challenge grill
 Carbon fiber interior accents (Console/trim around radio and three gauges above)
 Carbon fiber F1 paddles
 Scuderia shields
 Fiorano handling package-(consists of stiffer front and rear springs, lowered ground height of 3 inches, "dedicated set up for the steering device, providing less assistance at low speeds" and "racing type brake pads mounted on red calipers.")
 Challenge rack
 Front/rear challenge roll bar
 Stiffer rate coil springs
 Shock ECU specific to Fiorano setup
