Ferrari 360

 

New for 2000 Ferrari 360 Modena

The 360 Modena is an all-new sports car from the Italian automaker. Replacing the F355, the 360 Modena features an aluminum intensive chassis as well as a more powerful V8 engine.

Introduction

Since the late 1970s the Ferrari model range has included a mid-engine V8 coupe, and until now that spot was occupied by the F355. Replacing the 348 in 1994, the F355 contained Ferrari's first road-going engine with five valves per cylinder. In recent years, Ferrari has made major gains in quality, reliability and ergonomics, and these gains are reflected in the new 360. Similar to the 550 Maranello, which was named for the city where Ferraris are built, the 360 Modena honors the city where Enzo Ferrari set up his Scuderia. As is common with Ferrari sports cars, styling of the 360 is heavily influenced by Italian designer Pininfarina. The newest Ferrari also makes extensive use of aluminum. Performance has also been enhanced using several items from Ferrari's Formula One race car.

World Longest Ferrari

Believe it or not, the world's first-ever Ferrari stretch limo: a 23-foot 360 Modena with eight seats and the biggest electric gullwing doors we've ever seen.




It's the handiwork of Style Limousines in Manchester, which spent more than £200,000 modifying the rear-engined 360.



All eight of the seats are carbon-fibre buckets with five-point race harnesses - which might sound excessive until you discover that the 3.6-litre V8 remains, its 395bhp propelling the mega-Ferrari to 60mph in under six seconds.



Those gull-wing doors are nine-foot long and were designed by one of the teams responsible for the Mercedes SLR McLaren.

FERRARI 456

The Ferrari you can pick the kids up in…




As if the mass of ridiculously expensive DAMIEN HIRST art baubles inside SOTHEBY’S auction house in London weren’t enough to satiate our optic nerves, this not-for-sale little piece of eye candy just happened to be parked on the street outside to blow our little mind. The automobile in question is the incredibly rare FERRARI 456 VENICE STATION WAGON, a painfully limited-edition vehicle designed and built by Ferrari styling house PININFARINA for the royal family of the SULTANATE OF BRUNEI. Featuring four doors, a proper backseat, a hatchback, and a 20 cm longer wheelbase, this vehicle is similar in size to a BMW 5 series wagon with all the styling and cylindrical ferocity of a dancing horse. This is art on wheels. HAVE A LOOK:

It's 1961, the Scarabs have been sold to new owners in the Midwest and the Cobra project is still fulminating in the mind of Carroll Shelby. In the interim, California road courses are dominated by Maserati Type 61 "Birdcages" and Jurassic-era V8 powered Specials. The photos on this site document an age when the power source was still in front, and giants like Bill Krause, Bob Drake, Ken Miles and others ruled West Coast racing. At least they seemed like giants to me, at 13.






Who's that goofy-looking kid standing by Ed Leslie's Lotus 20 in front of the old Leslie Motors in Monterey?

I'd received a Voigtlander Bessa I medium format camera for my birthday and I used it to take photos at California sports car races between July, 1961, and April, 1962. I've carefully saved these treasured possessions for over 40 years.



Scans of my Kodacolor prints from 1961-62 are listed below as well as a few photos contributed by others. "Special Sections" includes more of my work from 1961-62, my recent photography from historic racing events, and photos and info contributed to the site by other photographers. (Link below!)

Ferrari F30 Calavera

The Unique Sportscars and tuners Novitec Rosso have united their efforts in creating Ferrari F430 Calavera, which will be produced only 11 copies. In a sign of commitment to victims of earthquake in the Italian region of Abruzzo, the two companies have decided to follow the example of Ferrari in the last instance of the F430 and donate the proceeds from the sale of a car to help restore the region. Unique aero-graphs you see in the body of the car and its interior is the work of artist Knut Tyrol. F430 Calavera also received 20-inch black wheels and new seats with embroidery of skull. The engine of the Ferrari F430 Calavera, which is 4.3-liter is inflated with 227 h.p. as its power has already reached 707 h.p.
This allows the exclusive vehicles to accelerate from 0-100 kilometers / hr for 3.5sec., 0-200 kilometers / hr for 7.0sec. and 0-300 kilometers / hr for 29.9sec. and to develop maximum speed of 348 kilometers / hr

World Fastest Ferrari

Obviously, one of the most trusted names in exotic cars is Ferrari. Ferrari for decades has created one masterpiece after another. While many of the cars that Ferrari creates are quite fast and look great, many focus on high performance and handling rather than incredible speed. However, one car thatFerrari recently created is a speed demon and considered to be the fastestFerrari ever produced- the Ferrari Enzo.

Tech Specs
While many purists might not like the shape of this vehicle, its body was created for extreme control at top speeds. Ferrari created only 400 of these vehicles which came to market in 2003 and 2004. They each come with a monster powerplant that delivers 660 horsepower from a V12. The Speed of this demon is a shocking 218 mph and besides an incredible top speed, also offers acceleration beyond most enthusiast’s comprehension- 0 to 60 in about 3.3 seconds.

The Enzo offers a six speed clutchless sequential manual transmission and offers the feature of steering wheel paddle shifters. The cost of this beauty- $650K, choice of colors includes red, yellow and black and only 100 ever made it to the states.

The Ferrari Enzo is a car unlike most others in that it utilized cutting edge technology to ensure that at high speeds, this vehicle stuck to the road. It is designed to have enough down force to stick to the road and since the vehicle employs spoilers, as well as movable foils as your speed increases, so does the aerodynamics of this vehicle. The vehicle itself is made from high ffiber and a material called Nomax. For those looking for the fastest Ferrari ever made, the Ferrari Enzo is possibly the one that tops the list.
