Ferrari 360
The Ferrari 360 brand has been well-known for years in the automobile industry. When it’s a Ferrari, you can be sure we’re talking about nice, fast and luxurious cars.
The factory in Italy is determined to deliver Ferrari 360 to the public by now, offering the model in two versions: the Modena Coupe and the Spider Convertibles. Mounted with 3.6 L V8, which is capable of outputting 400 hp at 8500 rpm, the Ferrari 360 sure is a fast and powerful car. The Ferrari 360 is able to go from a standstill in your garage to the speed of 60 mph just in 4 seconds amazingly with a top speed of 175 miles per hour!
The car is equipped with manual 6-speed transmission, which has the classic Italian shifter and the chrome ball knob on it. The car is also offered with another option, F1 gearbox. Using the latter gearbox, you can shift your transmission by shifting the paddles, which are mounted on the steering wheel.
Ferrari 360 sports adjustable double-wishbone suspensions made of Aluminum, space frame chassis made of Aluminum, and a sleek aluminum body designed by Pininfarina. The weight is super low, but the car is able to provide reliable performance and handling, thanks to the reduced body roll gained by taking advantage of the wide-track body & suspension.
The steering of the car stays sharp even at the speed of hundreds of miles per hour. And yet, Ferrari is offering its prospective buyers with nice interior for this model. Ferrari offers high quality material, supple leather and the straightforward ergonomic. The 360′s interior also has enough space for your elbows and even sets of golf club on the back of the 2 seats.
If this 360 is just not enough for you, you are still offered the option for a Challenge Stradale version. Ferrari claims that this racing version of the model eliminates everything that has no relation with enhanced performance, resulting in a 242 pounds lighter car with additional capability of 25 horsepower. It is also featured with a 20% stiffer suspension system and aerodynamic modifications providing 50% more down-force, making it really close to a Schumacher’s F1 ride, before the Enzo comes to the production line, of course.
