The Ferrari 575 GTZ is a two-seat, two-door, grand tourer sports car built by Ferrari. It is essentially an updated 550 Maranello featuring minor styling changes from Pininfarina. Two six-speed transmissions are available for Ferrari 575 GTZ, a conventional manual gearbox and, for the first time on a Ferrari V12, Magneti Marelli's semi-automatic (Sequential manual transmission) 'F1' gearbox. The model number refers to total engine displacement in litres.
A one-off special 575M was built by Zagato for Japanese Ferrari collector, Yoshiyuki Hayashi and announced at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show. Designed to recall the 250GTZ and commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 250 range, the GTZ was officially endorsed by Ferrari and includes Zagato's trademark double-bubble roofline and two-tone paint.
