Ferrari 360 Modena Performance Features

The Ferrari 360 Modena is a two-seater coupe powered by a 3.6L V8 mid-engine that puts out 400 hp at 8,500 rpm and 275 lb-ft of torque at 4,750 rpm. That engine is paired with either a six-speed manual or F1 automated manual gearbox with paddle shifters, reaching a top speed of 183 mph.

The 360 offers two different driving settings: Normal and Sport.

• The Normal setting focuses on stability in relation to the road conditions, reducing power to the wheels with the assistance of the engine management system or ABS braking to maximize traction.
• The Sport setting places greater emphasis on the driver’s input. The continuously adjusting dampers (CDC) monitor steering angle, road speed, braking, and acceleration in order to optimize the driving setting.

Ferrari 360 Modena Interior Design

The Ferrari 360 Modena’s interior features luxurious leather throughout. On the rear shelf, there is enough space for a set of golf clubs while still providing comfortable seating in the front. Aluminum is a dominant material of the Modena’s interior as displayed on the center console, lower door panels, and throughout the vehicle.

Ferrari 360 Modena Exterior Design

The Ferrari 360 Modena is the first production Ferrari constructed entirely of aluminum, which was developed in conjunction with Alcoa. Innovative technology and aerodynamic attention led to the creation of a rigidly stiff chassis and new body shell, allowing airflow to increase downforce.

The 360 Modena replaced the F355, and ran for five years with no cosmetic modifications in its lifespan. The Modena sports car provided less weight, more interior space, and greater comfort with sleek and superior performance.

Pininfarina designed the 360 to highlight some historical details from the Ferrari 250 LM and the Dino, by mirroring the engine compartment intakes in the rear window. The glass window showcases the engine, which is visible from each and every angle.
