360 Modena

There has been a couple of new toys sitting in the garage lately...

A 360 Modena with a Capristo Exhaust System, a nice yellow H3 and a manual 996, 911 Turbo.



I haven't had time to take pictures of the H3 or 996 turbo so let's start with the Black 360 Modena...



Just a little fact, the town Modena is actually the birthplace of Mr. Enzo Ferrari. Successor to the F355 and predecessor to the F430, the 360 Modena had an all new all-aluminum space-frame chassis that was 40% stiffer than the 355, yet 28% lighter despite a 10% increase in overall dimensions. Hence, why the F430's chassis is heavily based on the 360 Modena's as it was quite a marvel at it's time.



This car is definitely an attention grabber. However, I must say it is a handful to drive compared to the Nür. More raw. It was even criticized on Top Gear by James May saying jokingly, "Actually, this is why it's called the F360, this model. You drive along, come to a corner, and you go 'Fff...' as you do a 360!".



I'm sure you are all wondering how she sounds. I'll try to get a video of her up soon. Watch this space. =)
