This Pininfarina-designed 2000 Ferrari 360 Modena features an aluminum chassis and a spectacular color combination of "Blu Tour de France" Metallic exterior, with a beautiful contrasting "Cuoio" leather interior that presents wonderfully. The car, named after Enzo Ferrari’s birthplace, replaced the F355, Ferrari’s most successful production model at over 11,000 units. The 360 marked a new direction for Ferrari, emphasizing reduced weight and improved chassis rigidity. To achieve this, Ferrari collaborated with aluminum manufacturer Alcoa to create a spaceframe chassis that was 28% lighter and 40% stiffer than the F355’s steel frame, while also accommodating more interior space. The all-aluminum body, designed by Pininfarina and built by Ferrari subsidiary Scaglietti, offered sleek aerodynamics inspired by Formula 1, providing high downforce without compromising the car’s elegant form.

The Modena features a desirable manual transmission and shows a mere 25,105 miles on the odometer. Its stunning leather interior includes form-fitting bucket seats, round gauges and vents, a 3-spoke steering wheel, and a polished alloy gate-patterned shifter, which brings the sharp look and feel of the Modena together. The most powerful normally aspirated V-8 engine Ferrari had ever built at the time, the 360 Modena’s mid-mounted 3.6L/395 HP twin-cam V-8 employed a flat-plane crankshaft, five valves per cylinder (three intake, two exhaust), titanium connecting rods, and variable intake geometry and valve timing.

Ferrari specialists have performed a comprehensive service and freshened up the Modena, elevating it to a higher level. Work included the installation of a new set of Michelin 275/40/ZR 18 tires, paintwork (including wet sanding and buffing), a full vehicle detail covering the exterior, interior, and undercarriage, and new Ferrari emblems on the wheels and hood. The Ferrari is now ready for showing or driving on your favorite roads, where you can unleash and experience the true power of its twin-cam V-8 engine, enjoying one of the world’s most satisfying motoring experiences that only a Ferrari can deliver! This Ferrari is for sale to a dealer or out of state buyer only.

History

Named after Enzo Ferrari’s birthplace and the town in which he founded his legendary Scuderia, the Ferrari 360 Modena was introduced as the replacement for the F355 that, at more than 11,000 produced, was the most successful production model in the company’s history. Its design brief constituted a new direction for Ferrari road cars, one that centered on reduced weight and higher chassis rigidity. To that end, Ferrari partnered with aluminum manufacturer Alcoa to produce a clean-sheet spaceframe chassis design that was 28% lighter and 40% stiffer than the 355’s steel unit despite the larger dimensions required for the Modena’s increased interior space.

Naturally, the gorgeous, all-aluminum, Pininfarina-designed body, which was recognizable as a descendent of the 250LM, was manufactured by Scaglietti, now a wholly owned Ferrari subsidiary. Aerodynamics were brilliantly executed in service to high downforce without disrupting the overall form, which was devoid of any visually disruptive add-ons thanks to an elegant flat undertray design drawn from Ferrari’s Formula 1 experience.

The most powerful normally aspirated V-8 engine ever built by Ferrari in its time, the 360 Modena’s midmounted 3.6L/395 HP twin-cam V-8 employed a flat-plane crankshaft, five valves per cylinder (three intake, two exhaust), titanium connecting rods and variable intake geometry and valve timing. Buyers could choose between the traditional gated 6-speed manual transmission or the F1 6-speed semiautomatic. Michelin tires on lightweight alloy wheels and 13-inch Brembo disc brakes with painted calipers translate the driver’s input into superb handling and braking.
