The Ferrari 550 Barchetta is Ferrari's high-performance GT convertible. Loaded with a 12 cylinder
engine that can rev through 7700 rpm and 485 horsepower, the Barchetta
can top 185 mph. Surprisingly, the Barchetta is a front-engine car.
Without popping the hood, you can tell from the air-intakes up front. Air
intakes on the sides of the Barchetta resemble those on the 550 Maranello.
