Vehicle Description
Riviera Sports & Prestige are delighted to present this outstanding Ferrari 360 Spider, a model now firmly recognised as one of Ferrari’s most important modern classics and a defining example of the marque’s analogue era. Finished in the timeless combination of Rosso Corsa over Crema leather, this exceptional 2001 ‘X’ registration example offers a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully specified, open-gated manual Ferrari in exemplary condition.
At the heart of the 360 Spider lies a naturally aspirated 3. 6-litre V8, producing 400 horsepower and celebrated for its immediacy, linear response, and unmistakable Ferrari soundtrack. Paired with the open-gated manual gearbox, the driving experience is immersive, mechanical, and deeply rewarding - a combination that has become increasingly scarce and highly sought after among collectors. As one of the final Ferrari V8 Spiders to offer a traditional manual transmission, the 360 represents the closing chapter of a golden era for purist Ferrari driving.
The Ferrari 360 also marked a significant technical milestone for the marque, being the first Ferrari road car to feature a full aluminium spaceframe chassis. This innovation delivered a substantial improvement in rigidity, handling balance, and overall driving precision, while allowing Pininfarina’s clean, elegant design to remain light, proportioned, and timeless. Today, the 360 Spider’s styling is widely regarded as one of the most enduring of modern Ferraris.
This particular example is further elevated by the presence of the highly desirable carbon fibre bucket seats, one of the most important options available on the 360 and a feature that significantly enhances both driving support and long-term collectability. The cabin remains beautifully preserved and, importantly, the original audio system now benefits from a discreet Bluetooth add-on, offering modern connectivity while retaining the car’s factory appearance and originality.
With 33, 756 miles, this 360 Spider benefits from a comprehensive and well-documented service history and has been meticulously maintained throughout its life. It has recently undergone a thorough service and inspection, receiving a full bill of health, and is presented in impeccable condition throughout. Notably, this car is a two-time concours-winning example, further testament to the care, attention, and preservation it has received.
The Ferrari 360 Spider occupies a particularly compelling position in today’s collector market. As modern Ferraris move increasingly towards automation and electrification, the appeal of a naturally aspirated, manual, open-top Ferrari continues to strengthen. Examples of this calibre - correctly specified, exceptionally maintained, and with strong provenance are becoming increasingly rare, underpinning the model’s long-term desirability and investment potential.
This is a Ferrari that offers not only timeless design and unforgettable driving engagement, but also a genuine opportunity to own a significant piece of Ferrari history - a car that represents the purity, emotion, and craftsmanship that defined an era, and one that is poised to remain a cornerstone of any serious collection.
