Ferrari’s most successful model since the 308, the F355 was always going to be a tough act to follow. Its successor needed to be ground breaking and revolutionary; two words which, without doubt the 360 lived up to. Starting with a clean sheet of paper in designing the 360 Modena, the new car attracted superlatives that put even its illustrious predecessor in the shade.

Just about the only item carried over from the F355 was its glorious V8 engine, enlarged from 3.5 to 3.6 litres for the 360, producing 400bhp. In every other respect the 360 was entirely new, the most striking break with Ferrari tradition being the body’s frontal treatment; gone was the omnipresent oval grille, replaced by two separate intakes set low into the front wings. A larger car than the F355, the 360 owed its radical new shape to the quest for increased downforce, generating four times as much as its predecessor yet achieving the impressively low Cd of 0.33.

There was further innovation beneath the skin: a lighter, stiffer aluminium space frame monocoque replacing the old tubular steel arrangement, resulting in a dry weight around 220lbs less than that of the F355. The 360’s on-the-road dynamics constituted a significant advance, its best time around Ferrari’s Fiorano test track being some three seconds faster than the F355’s.

Finished in the classic Ferrari colour scheme of Rosso Corsa with a cream leather interior, this 360 Modena F1 coupe was first registered in November 2002. Over the intervening years the 360 has been maintained either by Ferrari dealers or specialists, with services at 4,906 miles (Stratstone), 8,831 miles (Stratstone, inc. belts), 14,706 miles (Graypaul), 19,139 miles (Graypaul), 25,378 miles (Reeder, inc. belts and clutch), 27,822 miles (Reeder), 30,990 miles (Reeder), 31,957 miles (Reeder), 32,862 miles (Independent), 35,067 miles (Independent), 35,489 miles (Independent), 38253 (Independent), and 42,129 miles (Bob Houghton, inc. belts). We understand the Ferrari was formerly subject to an insurance claim (marked as a Category D) which the vendor believes was as a result of minor damage to the front bumper and wing, professionally repaired at the time.

Very well maintained, this sensibly estimated Ferrari is offered with all books and leather wallet, receipts and original tools.
