When starting to work on a Ferrari, a car that usually has a great design, you start wondering what you can do so not to destroy the beauty of the car. And with the 360 Modena, a car designed by Pininfarina, this gets even hard. This is what Hephaiss tried to find an answer to when start working on the Modena. And after many testing the answer was: 360 Modena is better left as it is.
As a result they kept the stock body, but they refined in the JNH way. As a result, Hephaiss kept the (... > More
There are cars that defy time, fabulous in all the locations. You can image 360 Challenge Stradale some 50 years ago in front of Enzo’s house, or you can image the same beauty near an F1 car of our times. Enzo once said that a car don’t have to be beautiful, if will win the race will become one. Well, the 360 CS is exactly different. It can loose all the races and make the winners to look like a looser.
In April 2006 on the E6 road in southern Sweden a police officer was chasing a speeding Ferrari 360 Modena down the wrong side of a motorway at 300 km/h. So what’s with that you will say? Nothing new, we hear before about a Ferrari speeding on the highway and a police officer trying to catch it. Well you are right, but I am sure you dind’t expect that the police officer was charged for that and will have to go in court pretty soon. Why? For careless driving.
The owner of the Ferrari, (...) > More
The year couldn’t yet without another news about a crashed supercar. And this time, after a Porsche and a Lamborghini crashed we talk about a Ferrari 360 Spider crashed into a pole in Australia.
Maybe the driver was thinking what Santa will bring him this year (for sure he wouldn’t imagina a crashed car) and he lost in his thoughts and lost the control of his car.
One thing is for sure, Santa will have to bring him a new car (.. > More

Ferrari’s next generation of the V8 sports car after the 355, the 360 Modena, is a clean-sheet design anticipating future trends in Ferrari road cars. These trends include weight reduction combined with greater chassis rigidity.
For years, from the old 166 or 250 GT sport saloons to, somewhat later, with the GTO or F40, Ferraris have remained Spartan in terms of their trim, even though they had luxurious touches, to focuse entirely on performance in which every single gram of excess weight was eliminated. The other distinctive characteristic is the red body colour, an unmistakable sign of a Maranello car. But by the early ‘90s this way of conceiving cars seemed rather limited. Owning a Ferrari must give all-round pleasure and so any decision to limit comfort, usability and interior space excessively no longer made sense. The same went for colours. This change of thinking led to models like the 456 GT and 550 Maranello (and today‘s 575M Maranello), or the F355 and, later, 360 Modena eight-cylinder models.
The 360 Spider is Ferrari’s 20th road going convertible. In terms of engineering, looks, and performance it was the best production spider Maranello had ever produced at that time. Thanks to the exclusive know-how Ferrari has accumulated as a Formula 1 constructor, it was the most technologically advanced convertible available of its time.
