THE FERRARI 360

Ferrari's most successful model since the 308, the F355 was always going to be a hard act to follow. Clearly, in order to surpass the outstanding F355, its successor would have to break new ground rather than offer mere incremental improvements. By starting with a clean sheet of paper in designing the 360, Ferrari and its partner Pininfarina succeeded in doing just that; the new car attracting 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-liters for the 360, producing 400bhp. Mounted longitudinally behind the similarly disposed engine, the 360's six-speed gearbox could be ordered with the F1-inspired paddle-operated gear change pioneered on the F355.

THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

This stunning 360 Modena was completed at the Ferrari factory in May of 1999. Finished in the classic Ferrari color scheme of Rosso Corsa over tan hides, the car was fitted with the desirable gated 6-speed manual transmission. The car's first owner was a Mr. Michael W. Khalil of Thornhill, Ontario, Canada, who took delivery of the sporty Coupe in August of 1999. The car would migrate to America about a year later, and in 2002 was purchased by the consignor, a prominent sports car collector from Minnesota. Around this time, he had the odometer changed from kilometer to miles by an authorized Ferrari dealer, while the car's original kilometer reading was transferred over to the new miles per hour figure to ensure the original mileage of the car was retained.

Today, the striking 360 Modena presents in original and well-kept condition, with less than 9,400 miles recorded on the odometer. The clean Pininfarina-designed bodywork displays excellent fit and finish, and the luxurious leather interior shows just very light signs of use. Shod on newer Michelin Pilot Sport tires, the red stick-shift Ferrari looks just right. Complete with its original books in leather pouch, tools, and car cover, this 360 is primed for open road enjoyment.
