Every new Ferrari was a celebration for its fans and the motoring industry since the Italian brand was considered the most exclusive performance brand in the world.

The Ferrari 360 received the Modena name as well, inspired by the company's headquarter. It was styled by Pininfarina and featured new technologies that helped the little supercar outrun most other carmakers' other cars. The bets were on, and Ferrari won most of the time.

Like many other Ferrari, the design was made by Pininfarina. Its curved lines in coke-bottle style and swept headlights, it showed passion and speed. There were two big air-intakes at the front to cool the brakes and the prancing horse badge on the trunk lid. Yes, the trunk was in the front since the 360 was a mid-engine car. Under the rear window, there was the engine that could have been seen. In the back, four round taillights completed the image of the classic-looking Ferrari style.

Inside, the carmaker put leather pretty much everywhere. Apart from the carpeting, everything else was covered in leather: seats, door panels, dashboard, B-pillars, headliner, and the sun visors. The minimalist instrument cluster offered just the needed information about the car, with a big tachometer in the middle. It was only a part of the Ferrari's heritage, along with the metallic grille for the gear-stick.

Ferrari installed a naturally aspirated V8 engine under the hood. It was paired as standard to a 6-speed manual, and a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters was on the options list.
