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 N�r. 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. =)
