In 1999, Ferrari considered their much-loved and hugely accomplished 355 ready for replacing, a bold move as many thought it the marques best junior supercar ever. The 360 adopted new materials and construction methods and Ferrari designed the 355's successor from scratch. The firm's desire to be back at the forefront of racing with its successful endurance and F1 programmes at the time had also filtered its way down to the street cars.

The design was revolutionary for example making extensive use of exotic lightweight materials throughout, the 360's construction has resulted in the frame weighing 28% less than the outgoing 355, structural rigidity having been increased by an amazing 40%. With Ferrari wanting the interior to be more spacious, the wheelbase was stretched by 150mm, width rising by 15mm, the need to accomodate a set of golf clubs having been a pre-requisite. Ferrari paid particular attention to improving underbody aerodynamics and thus the 360 boasts a completely flat bottom with two prominent diffusers clearly visible from the rear. The 360's Tipo F131B engine produced a staggering 400bhp at 8500rpm from just 3586cc! This resulted in an extremely impressive 0-60 time requiring just 4.4 seconds and a 186mph top speed. It came as no surprise when Turin styling house Pininfarina, who have a long-standing association with Ferrari, were chosen to create the bodywork and interior. Notable features from a what is a very modern design are the gaping air intakes for the front-mounted radiators and those 250 LM-esque engine-cooling ducts mounted atop the rear wings. Thanks to a great deal of time in the wind tunnel, Pininfarina produced an exceptionally clean profile without need for additional wings, flares or blisters. One of the other striking features on the 360 Modena is a large glass rear screen that proudly displays the engine in all its glory.

Introduced at the Geneva Salon in March 1999, the Modena unsurprisingly swelled Ferrari's order books and a two year backlog was on the cards within weeks. The model stayed in production until 2004 when the F430 was introduced.

This F1 gearbox car was supplied new by Mortimer Houghton Turner Ltd (MHT) in March 2002. This 360 is presented in Rosso Corsa with a split interior of tan and black leather with tan carpets, the interior also benefits from the option of a leather trimmed fire extinguisher. A challenge rear grill has been fitted to the exterior of the car which compliments the red paintwork superbly. Since delivery the car has covered a total of 33,000 miles and has had four previous keepers. Serviced almost exclusively by Ferrari main dealers, the service history is excellent for a car of this age. The 360 is largely considered to be the first Ferrari to combine everyday usability with jaw dropping performance. This example, which has recently benefitted from a major service including cambelts, and a full professional detail at DK as well as a fresh MOT is totally ready to be used and enjoyed immediately by it's new owner.
