Veuillez noter que ce véhicule est une année-modèle 1999.

Entering production in 1999, the Ferrari 360 Modena was a clean-sheet design that anticipated trends for future Ferrari road cars. Combining the two opposing goals of low weight and high chassis rigidity, Maranello engineers seemingly pulled off the impossible, resulting in the best overall performance and handling of any mid-engined Ferrari to date. The 360 Modena was the Ferrari to be constructed entirely in aluminium, with the chassis, bodyshell, and suspension wishbones all made from the lightweight material. At its heart lay a 395 horsepower, 3.6-litre Tipo F131 V-8 engine with a choice of a six-speed manual or “F1” automated manual transmission.

A large proportion of 360 Modena production went to the USA, making European-delivered cars, such as the example offered here, especially desirable. This car left the Ferrari factory fitted with the electro-hydraulic gearbox and finished in Rosso Corsa over a Nero interior. It is believed to be one of just 25 examples specified with the optional removable sunroof, which is stowed behind the seats in a leather bag when not fitted. First delivered via Alfred Gohm GmbH of Stuttgart, Germany, the 360 Modena has had three keepers from new and was acquired by its consigning owner, a prominent Ferrari collector, in 2016.

Complete with its Ferrari manuals and maintenance books, the car’s service history can be viewed in its accompanying history file. Notably, a major service was carried out in May 2021, further to renewal of its “sticky” buttons and repainting of the centre console in March 2022; in both cases work was completed by AutoToyStore of Starnberg, Germany. The car’s odometer reads 51,814 kilometres at the time of cataloguing.
