2000 Ferrari 360 Spider

The Ferrari 360, (Type F131), is a two-seater, mid-engine, rear wheel drive sports car manufactured by Italian automotive manufacturer Ferrari from 1999 to 2005.  It succeeded the Ferrari F355 and was replaced by the Ferrari F430 in 2004.  The first model to be produced was the 360 Modena, followed later by the 360 Spider and a special edition, the Challenge Stradale.  The Challenge Stradale was the high-performance road-legal version of the 360 produced by the factory, featuring carbon ceramic brakes, (from the Enzo), track-tuned suspension, aerodynamic gains, weight reduction, power improvements and revised gearbox software among its track-focused brief.  There were 8,800 Modenas and 7,565 Spiders produced worldwide. There were 4,199 built for the US market—1,810 Modenas and 2,389 Spiders.  Of those numbers, there were only 469 Modenas and 670 Spiders that were produced with a gated 6-speed manual transmission as opposed to the "F1" single-clutch automated manual transmission.

The 360 Spider, which debuted for the first time in 2000 at the Geneva Motor Show, built on a high performance and high-tech space frame and the added luxury of an automatic soft-top with new actuators.  For consignment, a 1st year Pinninfarina penned Euro-spec version optioned with the F1 clutchless paddle shift automatic, well maintained and kept up with on oil changes, this sleek skate right out of Maranello is ready to take you and yours out on the town, or whoop up the domestic muscle running around Anytown, USA.  Proudly gracing our main showroom, and waiting to have its legs stretched once again, we give you the 2000 Ferrari 360 Spider.

Exterior
Grigio Titanio, titanium gray for those not in the know, drapes the beautifully designed exterior aerodynamic panels of this exotic car.  From its slippery exposed headlight front, back to its windswept windscreen to the engine venting on the rear quarters to the iconic round taillights that just say Ferrari, this car presents beautifully.  The black canvas convertible top is in minty condition and raises and lowers with little effort thanks to new actuators from Algar Ferrari.  Yellow prancing horses, the icon of the Italian Escuderia hand built supercar, adorns the car.  Also noted are the twin bumped up tonneau which in fact does more than simply accentuate the beautifully penned lines of the body, they are integral to the chassis and serve as roll bars.  The stylists at Pininfarina thoughtfully incorporated a glass viewing panel on the redesigned rear deck.  So now, horsepower voyeurs can keep on looking.  On the corners are yellow prancing horse logoed 5-spoke wheels in 18" format that are wrapped in ZR rated blackball radial rubber.

Interior
A mixture of fine hand stitched leathers, and awesome technology make up the cockpit  where we see electronic controls for windows, top, mirrors, temperature, door locks, and exterior lighting.  Twin paddles just behind the 3 spoke rally steering wheels on the column sit within ergonomic reach of the pilot and make for very fast up and downshifts.  An AM/FM/CD player and various gauges to keep track of the essentials are laid out in front of the driver.  2 Gray Connelly leather covered buckets grab driver and passenger, and keep them safe at high speeds, while all the while minding comfort.   Black carpet, like new, covers the floors.

Drivetrain
A mid engined 3.6 Liter DOHC fuel injected V8 is midway mounted into the car for weight balance, and attach a F1 6-speed clutchless semi-automatic paddle shifted transmission, and you are ready to make some noise, that is found recognizably melodious to only those who are a Ferrari aficionado.  Turning the rear tires is a 4.44 geared axle and Bosch EFI feeds the mill and does a fine job of it.

Undercarriage
As expected for a 2000 model car, slight patina and wear, but mostly covered in smooth metal for aerodynamic downforce and ground effects.  Double wishbone independent suspension, and disc brakes are all around.  Otherwise its smooth ground effects covering every corner underneath. 

Drive-Ability
Out test track is certainly not the equivalent to a lap around Monza or Imola, but this car still handled it well.  Wonderful acceleration, rail-like handling, and super fast braking can unnerve even the most experienced of passengers when they think you will not make that turn!  This all mixed in with the sound of a high revving Ferrari engine that no other car can duplicate.  All is well with this Italian.  BELLISSIMO!!

For an individual who has a desire to get into an exotic car, and experience some of its technical aspects it has to offer, as well as the power of a hand built engine, and wants to surround yourself with some luxury, this is a great entry level car in very nice condition.  The factory tool kit and manuals are included… And it is a convertible, albeit a fast one. VELOCE!!!
