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 spaceframe 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 colour scheme of Tour De France blue with a cream leather interior, this genuine two owner example shows 19,500 miles from new, supported by a meticulous service record. The most recent maintenance was in April 2024, including belts. The Ferrari benefits from recent mechanical attention by leading specialists Foskers of Brands Hatch, and further attention to the roof mechanism Emblem Ferrari. This beautiful example is enhanced by the fitting of a Stage 3 Capristo exhaust system with Cell Sports catalytic converter, which adds to the overall experience, and of course improves performance on the road.

The coachwork presents very nicely, sensibly protected with an additional layer of PPF over the paintwork. The interior is well preserved with nicely presented Daytona seats, and fitted with original Ferrari leather tool bag and immobiliser cover. A modern classic in the making, this lovely looking 360 is on the button and ready to be enjoyed.
The 360 is offered with a new UK MOT certificate until April 2025.
