The 1999 Ferrari 360 Modena (F131) is a mid-engine sports car that Ferrari produced from 1999 to 2005.

It was designed by the famous car design studio Pininfarina, which has long been associated with Ferrari and historically designed most of its road models. It was the first car in Ferrari's range of V8 models which broke away from the traditional hard-edged lines seen first in the 308.

The 360 was the first car that Pininfarina didn't design with the distinctive Ferrari front grill. The Spider was the best selling model of the Ferrari 360.

The 360 is notable for introducing an all-new aluminium space frame chassis that would become standard in all subsequent models and significantly lowered the weight of the car compared to its predecessor, the 355.

Games

Need for Speed: High Stakes

The 360 Modena appears in the PC release of Need for Speed: High Stakes as a class AA vehicle and can be purchased for $160,000 in the career mode following its release as an official add-on. Although it's not the fastest in its class, it's a very good all-rounder.

Description

“	Ferrari's newest car, the 360 Modena, is perhaps the company's most advanced production car to date. Named after the birthplace of Enzo Ferrari, the 360 Modena uses Ferrari's first all-aluminum frame, body, and suspension combination. With additional improvements in every element of the car's design, the 360 is lighter, stronger, and faster than its predecessor, the popular F355. The 360's 90 degree V8 produces a top speed of 185 mph and a zero to sixty time just under 4 and a half seconds. Combined with technical advancements in the drivetrain and transmission, the 360 is a well balanced, strong performer that lives up to Ferrari's racing heritage. The 360's body design, inspired by the classic 1963 250LM, is so aerodynamically efficient, it produces almost four times the downforce than the F355 at top speed. This design alleviates the need for spoilers and air dams, resulting in a body that is sublimely elegant. With accents such as the split front grille, sculpted air intakes, and integrated headlamps, the 360 Modena makes the Ferrari lover's heart race and passions flare.	”
