For years, Enzo Ferrari was resolute that road cars bearing his
name would be powered by twelve cylinders so as not to "diminish"
the brand with lesser models. However, the immense success of the
V6-powered, Dino-badged 206 and 246 GT demonstrated public demand
for lightweight mid-engined models from Maranello, bolstered by
sales in the tens of thousands of the Ferrari 308 and 328. The
platform continued to mature in the 1990s, introducing
semi-monocoque construction in the 348 and an F1-derived
paddle-shift transmission in the F355. As Ferrari entered a new
millennium, a clean-sheet design was deemed necessary to establish
a basis for a future generation of Ferrari road cars.
The outcome was the all-aluminum Ferrari 360 Modena developed in
conjunction with Alcoa, dressed in aerodynamic Pininfarina-styled
bodywork and bristling with technological advancements. Debuting at
the 1999 Geneva Motor Show, the 360 was 220 pounds lighter and 40
percent stronger in structural rigidity than the F355 it replaced.
Visible under the glass rear decklid was a heavily revised
3.6-liter "Tipo F131" V8 producing 395 horsepower, now paired with
a more sophisticated version of the F1 paddle-shift transmission
with improved rev-matching capabilities. The 360 set the precedent
for Ferrari models to come, introducing new levels of comfort and
usability combined with the level of performance expected from the
esteemed Prancing Horse.
This well specified 2000 Ferrari 360 Modena is finished in elegant
Nero paintwork and Beige leather with optional Scuderia Ferrari
fender shields, just as it appeared when rolling off the assembly
line at the Ferrari factory in Maranello. Sold new at Ferrari of
Newport Beach, California, the original warranty book records Mark
Grundy of Laguna Niguel, California, as the car's original owner.
The accompanying CARFAX Vehicle History Report indicates that the
Ferrari then passed to its second owner in California during
January of 2002 at approximately 2,297 miles, with whom the car
would remain for more than two decades. Subsequent entries in its
warranty book show a 5,000-mile service in March 2002 and a
15,000-mile service in July 2003, both conducted at Ferrari of
Orange County, California, as well as numerous visits to Ferrari of
Newport Beach from 2004-2016. In July 2023 with just 28,448 miles
recorded, the 360 returned to Ferrari of Newport Beach to receive a
timing belt replacement service, receipts for which are on
file.
Today the Ferrari shows just 28,823 miles at the time of
cataloging. Included in the sale are its tool kit and leather case
as well as its leather folio of factory manuals and service
records. Benefiting from a beautifully preserved interior and
exterior-which according to recent paint-meter readings retains its
original Nero finish-this fine Ferrari 360 Modena presents an
excellent entry into mid-engined Ferrari ownership.
