Exterior and Interior

Intended to replace the F355, the Ferrari 360 was an all-new design. Those sleek lines are the work of Pininfarina, while beneath the alluring Rosso Corsa paintwork of this 2001 Ferrari 360 Spider lies an aluminum space-frame chassis that is 40% stiffer than the F355’s. Scuderia Ferrari shields adorn the car in key places, but the design alone is enough of a calling card. Ditto the silver five-spoke alloy wheels that, even if you were to remove their Ferrari-branded center caps, would still be recognized as Ferrari units. And since this car is a Spider, it’s got a powered convertible top as well. The two-seat interior of this 2001 Ferrari 360 Spider comes in black and offers some decent creature comforts, enabling this car to easily become your daily without much sacrifice. There’s automatic climate control, power windows, power mirrors and power door locks. The radio is now an Alpine unit that supports Bluetooth, as well as USB and AUX connections. But you don’t buy a Ferrari just for its radio or air conditioning system. And that’s where its alluring driver’s cockpit captivates you, with that signature analog rev counter coming with a yellow face, and redlined at 8,500rpm! Paddle shifters live behind the steering wheel, allowing you to call out gear changes as you desire. Metal sport pedals and a 220mph speedometer are further points of note.
