Ferrari 360 Modena

Vehicle Overview

The Ferrari 360 Modena is a rear-wheel drive sports berlinetta. A special feature is the mid-engine in full view through the rear window of the car. The 360 ​​has taken part in numerous sporting events with the Challenge version, lighter than the base model but with the same engine. This new model marks a decisive turning point in the history of Ferrari, in fact it no longer has “retractable” headlights, replaced by “visible” ones with new lighting technologies; it no longer even features the classic taut lines, like its progenitor, the Ferrari F355. The engine is now the new V8 with 5 valves per cylinder, with an angle of 90 ° and with a displacement increased to 3,586 cm³, and delivers 400 horsepower at 8500 rpm. Thanks to the extensive use of aluminum, it now weighs 28% less than the F355, despite its larger dimensions. In 2000 the 360 ​​Spider was born, with an electrically foldable canvas roof. Also available with F1 gearbox derived directly from Formula 1 models.
