For the 1999 International Geneva Motor Show (Tuesday 9th March Press
Day) Ferrari SpA will unveil one of the most significant sports cars
ever to be built at Maranello the new "Ferrari 360 Modena".
The 360 Modena was designed as an interpretation of the Ferrari
berlinetta with a V8 engine for the 21st century, radically innovative
features such as significant weight reduction, a larger body and a
higher level of equipment. One extremely important element, which is new
on a Ferrari road car, is the use of aluminium to build the entire
frame, combined with the bodyshell and chassis components which are also
fabricated in aluminium.
Powered by a normally aspirated, 400 hp, 3.6-litre, 40-valve, 8-cylinder
engine the 360 Modena will be available with the second generation of
the highly successful F1-type gearbox as well as the conventional
six-speed manual transmission.
