The Ferrari 360 Modena: A Modern Classic
The Ferrari 360 Modena is a standout model from Ferrari’s eclectic history of head-turning and corner conquering sports cars; and captures the perfect blend of traditional Italian flare and modern engineering excellence. Named after Enzo Ferrari’s birthplace, Modena, this model was introduced in 1999 and remained in production until 2005. Designed by the iconic Pininfarina, the Ferrari Modena 360 boasts a striking, timeless look that reflects Ferrari’s commitment to both aesthetics and aerodynamics.
The Ferrari 360 is powered by a 3.6-litre V8 engine that delivers an exhilarating 400 horsepower at 8,500 rpm to the rear wheels. This naturally aspirated V8 offers a thrilling soundtrack and combined with the curb weight of 1,492kg, the 03 Ferrari 360 Modena will travel from 0-62 mph in just 4.5 seconds, and propel it to 183mph.
The model was famed for using a six-speed F1 automated manual gearbox derived from Ferrari’s race team, but was initially quite complex and later required software updates. This 2003 Ferrari 360 Models though, features the gated six-speed manual transmission making it a much rarer example of this modern classic sports car.
