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.
Finished in Blu Tour de France Metallic with a contrasting Cuoio leather interior, this very sharp 2000 Ferrari 360 Modena Berlinetta’s odometer shows just 25,105 miles, a number reflected in its very clean overall presentation. Characterized by pristine leather and detailing, the unmistakably Ferrari interior features form-fitting bucket seats, traditional round gauges and vents, a three-spoke steering wheel and a polished alloy gated shifter, together offering one of the world’s most satisfying motoring experiences.
