The cabin features sport seats and is trimmed in black Connolly leather throughout. Features include a gated shifter, automatic climate control, a cassette stereo, and drilled aluminum pedals. Sticky buttons and panels have been refinished. The car was repainted in PPG Rosa Corsa in 2023.

Along the lines of the earlier Targa top, this open version of the F355 had a hard top that could be stowed away behind the seats. The F355 GTS featured a stress-bearing semi-monocoque steel chassis with variable-section, tubular front and rear sub-frames and electronically controlled suspension. The V8 engine produced a specific power of 109 bhp per litre and, mated to a close-ratio 6-speed gearbox, ensured performance.
