Ferrari gives a two-year unlimited mileage warranty with each 550 Barchetta.
A warranty makes a difference when evaluating the relative merits of a BMW 3-series with a Mercedes-Benz C-Class but, let’s face it, the warranty on a 550 Barchetta is about as meaningful as the color of its brake calipers. The fact is that a 550 Barchetta is an automobile that – to quote J.P. Morgan – "If you have to ask what it costs, you can’t afford it." It is a Ferrari. It is front engined. It is V12 powered. It is Pininfarina styled. It is raw power and performance. It dispenses with sensibilities in the same breath as it eschews weather protection.
