16 Facts About Ferrari 360

Ferrari 360 is a two-seater, mid-engine, rear wheel drive sports car manufactured by Italian automotive manufacturer Ferrari from 1999 to 2005.

The Challenge Stradale was the high-performance road-legal version of the Ferrari 360 produced by the factory, featuring carbon ceramic brakes, track-tuned suspension, aerodynamic gains, weight reduction, power improvements and revised gearbox software among its track-focused brief.

Ferrari 360 Modena went into production in 1999 and remained in production until 2005 when it was replaced by the F430.

Ferrari 360 was designed with a convertible variant in mind; since removing the roof of a coupe reduces the torsional rigidity, the Ferrari 360 was built for strength in other areas.

Ferrari 360 designers strengthened the sills, stiffened the front of the floorpan and redesigned the windscreen frame.
