Description and key features - Extremely rare configuration - Rigorous maintenance schedule - Very good overall condition Our Ferrari 360 Modena, which entered service on 31 May 1999, has 71, 000 km on the clock. Exported for a time to the UK for its first customer, this model from France has been back in its country of origin since 2009. It is distinguished by its rare and elegant Rosso Barchetta colour, combined with an equally distinctive brown leather interior. The whole car is in remarkable condition: the bodywork is perfect, the interior is impeccable, as is the on-board instrumentation. Mechanically, this Ferrari is equipped with its naturally-aspirated 3. 6-litre V8 developing 400 bhp, combined with a manual gearbox. All the mechanical elements are perfectly functional. A stainless steel line has been fitted, enhancing its sound. The maintenance history is complete, with initial servicing at a Ferrari centre until the 2010s, and then by recognised specialists. The car was last serviced in September 2024. The clutch was replaced in 2021 at 65, 000 km, and the timing system was rebuilt in 2020 at 64, 900 km. The consumables are in good condition and there are no charges to be expected. The options and equipment available on this model are as follows: Rosso Barchetta paintwork Camel leather Manual gearbox Stainless steel exhaust system Central locking Stradale rear grille Headrest badge Bose sound system Model History The Ferrari 360 Modena (Type F131), produced between 1999 and 2004, was the successor to the F355 and marked a turning point for Ferrari with the adoption of a completely redesigned architecture. The result of a collaboration with Alcoa, its aluminium chassis was 28% lighter and 40% stiffer, introducing a new frame space that also reduced overall weight by 60 kg compared with its predecessor. Under its bonnet, the 360 Modena housed a 3. 6-litre V8 engine with a flat-plane crankshaft and titanium connecting rods, delivering 400 bhp. This power means it can reach 100 km/ h in 4. 5 seconds. The bodywork, designed by Pininfarina, abandoned the angular lines of previous years in favour of a more fluid style characteristic of the 2000's. The Modena model was followed by the Spider in 2001, a convertible very similar in technical terms, and by the special edition Challenge Stradale, designed for the track with carbon-ceramic brakes, a refined chassis and aerodynamic improvements.
Out of a total of 17, 000 cars produced, only 469 Modena and 670 Spider models were fitted with a manual gearbox, making them even rarer than the F1 automated transmission.
