The 360 found its longtime caretaker in the form of a Los Altos, California resident, who would go on to own the Ferrari for almost 20 consecutive years. The Los Altos owner, a mechanic and an owner of his own workshop, came over from Germany in 1952 in order to find more suitable work for himself. Landing in a Chevrolet dealership first in the midwest, he eventually traveled west and landed in the town of Los Altos where he opened his own mechanic shop. Having owned many Porsches over the years, he mentioned that he wanted to experience what made Ferraris special. He purchased this 360 Modena in October of 2005 and added just over 17,000 miles in his 20-year ownership. Upon arriving at Canepa, the 360 Modena was thoroughly inspected both mechanically and cosmetically. As a part of the “Canepa Difference” process, the Ferrari is scheduled to complete a comprehensive mechanical servicing (including belts) and for the installation of a new set of high performance Michelin Pilot Sport tires. The Ferrari was treated to a comprehensive detailing that included a full multi-stage foam pad polishing of the Rossa Corsa paint, along with the interior receiving a full detailing, completing the Ferrari’s “Canepa Difference” process. Included in the sale of this Ferrari 360 Modena are its Ferrari books, tool kit, 2 keys, flat tire kit, and flashlight. With 6-speed manual transmissions becoming rarer and rarer each year, and considering that Ferrari themselves do not make a manual transmission car today, only accents the prestige and coveting of the Ferrari 360 Modena. With a classic 6-speed gated transmission, an intoxicating exhaust note from its naturally aspirated 3.6L V8 engine made in Italy, and visuals that have only appreciated over the last couple of decades, this 2000 Ferrari 360 Modena is made for the driver to enjoy the driving experience, while also looking the part too. About the Ferrari 360 Modena With the era of production ending with the highly praised Ferrari F355, the Italian supercar maker needed to be looking forward to its next exciting model. Seeing that the F355 was a commercial and critical success, it was imperative that Ferrari’s next vehicle be a home run to continue their momentum forward. Then, at the March 1999 Geneva Motor Show, Ferrari pulled the curtain back on its latest model: the 360 Modena. Named after the birthplace of the company’s founder, Enzo Ferrari, the 360 Modena introduced a suite of new developments leading to made the 360 one of Ferrari’s most exceptional vehicles to drive and enjoy. Ferrari, with a factory F1 team providing some spiritual guidelines for their street cars, introduced a new way of thinking with their 360 Modena: lightweight aluminum. It was the first production Ferrari to be constructed entirely from aluminum, including the chassis, body, and suspension, with aluminum alloys making up the rest of the car. This, despite the car being significantly larger than the F355, led to a very modest weight gain of around 88lbs. Clever manufacturing kept structural areas thicker in the chassis where other spots used bonded aluminum to keep weight down. The new bodystyle and focus on aerodynamics, particularly the underside of the car, yielded the 360 almost 4x the amount of downforce vs. the outgoing F355 car. The heart of the 360 Modena, the casted-aluminum 3.6L naturally aspirated V8 engine, also received a similar amount of attention. The Tipo F131B engine was an enlarged and upgraded version of the powerplant from the F355. Dual overhead camshafts, 90° V8 with 5 valves per cylinder, variable valve timing and dry-sump lubrication led to a total power of 394hp. A new flat-plane crankshaft and engine management system lended to the 360’s new and exotic exhaust note. Titanium connecting rods were standard equipment. Transmissions offered were a 6-speed manual transmission, or Ferrari’s electro-hydraulic F1 automated manual system with paddle shifters located behind the steering wheel. With a host of options available to customers, from exterior colors and leather interiors to the more nuanced options of specific customization, the 360 was a hit, both critically and commercially. Exceptional driving dynamics, stunning visuals, and an intoxicating exhaust note, it was so popular during the dot com boom that Ferrari had a completely full order book, enough for 2-years worth of orders, in a matter of weeks. Ferrari would go on to produce 1,810 Modenas for the U.S. market, but only 469 of those cars would sport the classic gated 6-speed manual transmission.
