Ferrari 360 Modena

Since the late 1970s the Ferrari model range has included a mid-engine V8 coupe, and until now that spot was occupied by the F355. Replacing the 348 in 1994, the F355 contained Ferrari's first road-going engine with five valves per cylinder. In recent years, Ferrari has made major gains in quality, reliability and ergonomics, and these gains are reflected in the new 360.

Similar to the 550 Maranello, which was named for the city where Ferraris are built, the 360 Modena honors the city where Enzo Ferrari set up his Scuderia. As is common with Ferrari sports cars, styling of the 360 is heavily influenced by Italian designer Pininfarina. The newest Ferrari also makes extensive use of aluminum. Performance has also been enhanced using several items from Ferrari's Formula One race car.
