END OF YEAR CLEARANCE SALE:
NOTE: Vehicle has just had a Major Service and New e-Gear installed. She is ready for the road!
The Ferrari 360 was built by Ferrari from 1999 to 2005. It succeeded the Ferrari F355 and was replaced by the Ferrari F430. It is a mid-engined, rear wheel drive V8-powered coupe.
The first model of the 360 to be shipped was the Modena, amed after the town of Modena, he birthplace of Enzo Ferrari. Its six-speed gearbox is available as a 6 speed manual, r an F1 electrohydraulic manual. The 360 Modena went into production in 1999 and remained in production until 2005 when it was replaced by the F430. The Modena was followed 2 years later by the 360 Spider, errari's 20th road-going convertible which at launch overtook sales of the Modena. Other than weight, he Spider's specifications matched those of the Modena almost exactly.
Ferrari partnered with Alcoa to produce an entirely new all aluminum space-frame chassis that was 40% stiffer than the F355 which had utilized steel. The design was 28% lighter despite a 10% increase in overall dimensions. Along with a lightweight frame the new Pininfarina body styling deviated from traditions of the previous decade's sharp angles and flip-up headlights. The new V8 engine, ommon to all versions, tilizes a 3.6 litre capacity, lat plane crankshaft, itanium connecting rods and generates 400 bhp. Despite what looks like on paper modest gains in reality the power to weight ratio was significantly improved on over the F355, his was due to the combination of both a lighter car and more power. The 0 to 60 mph acceleration performance improved from 4.5 to 4.2 seconds.
Spider
The 360 Spider was Ferrari's twentieth road-going convertible. The 360 was initially designed with a Spider variant in mind; since removing the roof of a coupe reduces the torsional rigidity, he 360 was built for strength in other areas. Ferrari designers strengthened the sills, stiffened the front of the floorpan and redesigned the windscreen frame. The rear bulkhead had to be stiffened to cut out engine noise from the cabin. The convertible's necessary dynamic rigidity is provided by additional side reinforcements and a cross brace in front of the engine. Passenger safety is ensured by a strengthened windscreen frame and roll bars.
The 360 Spider displays a curvilinear waistline. The fairings imply the start of a roof, nd stable roll bars are embedded in these elevations. Due to use of light aluminium construction throughout, he Spider weighs in only 130 lb heavier than the coupé.
As with the Modena version, ts 3.6 litre V8 with 400 bhp is on display under a glass hood. The engine -- confined in space by the convertible's top's storage area -- acquires additional air supply through especially large side grills. The intake manifolds were moved toward the center of the engine between the air supply conduits in the Spider engine compartment, s opposed to lying apart as with the Modena. Despite the car's mid-mounted V8 engine, he electrically operated top is able to stow into the compartment when not in use. The convertible top was available in black, lue, rey and beige colors. The transformation from a closed top to an open-air convertible is a two-stage folding-action that has been dubbed "a stunning 20 second mechanical symphony".
In terms of performance, he 0-60 time was slightly slower at 4.4 seconds due to the slight weight increase, nd the top speed was reduced from 189 to 180 mph.
The interior of the Spider is identical to that of the coupé.
