We would argue that the F355 is definitely one of the more beautiful Ferraris out there. And when it was launched in 1994 (it was only built for 5 years), it was a huge improvement on its predecessor the F348 in terms of driving dynamics. But as we know since the ever-growing restomod boom, there's nothing that can't be done better.
Evoluto Automobili is now trying to do just that with the 355. The British company has given the 355 a slightly refreshed shell, but hasn't strayed too far from the original. There is also an opulently crafted interior and various technical optimisations designed to take the driving experience of the mid-engined sports car to a new level.
These include a new carbon body and a stiffer chassis. Every Evoluto-355 receives a completely revised engine with more than 200 new or improved components. These include larger intake valves, an in-house drive shaft, massive cam followers, a new ignition system with individual ignition coils and bespoke tuning.
The flat-plane naturally aspirated V8 now produces 420 PS instead of the previous 375 PS. It revs to 8,500 rpm. Evoluto promises better response behaviour and contemporary reliability.
Shifting is still manual. The 6-speed gearbox has also been revised. Brembo GT brakes with 6-piston callipers at the front and 4-piston callipers at the rear drop the anchor.
The stiffer substructure is likely to play a major role in the improved performance of the rebuilt Ferrari . Evoluto reinforces the chassis with carbo.
