Highlights
- A lovely example of an iconic Italian supercar
- F1 electro-hydraulic automated manual transmission
- A low mileage example, indicating only 44,572 miles from new.
The Appeal
The 360 Modena is perhaps one of the most iconic millennium-era supercars. Stocked with the Tipo F131 engine, it’s a powerful, high-spec motor for the driver who’s seeking a certain level of racing DNA. Superb handling, a masterpiece of an engine and that beautiful shape all come together to make for a bonafide automobile celebrity.
Freshly serviced, and beautifully cared for, this low mileage example is finished in an iconic Ferrari colour scheme of Rosso Corso Red and a black Nero interior. It’s been beautifully cared for and boasts an impressive record of MOTs and services to ensure you’ll be taking on a top-quality example.
The History and Paperwork
- Images show private registration - the vehicle will be sold with appropriate age-related plate W742 SBF
- Last MOT test completed in September 2022, first-time pass with no advisories or warnings
- Services largely carried out by specialists with invoices provided
- Owner’s handbook and manuals complete with a presentation wallet
The Interior
- High-spec interior in Ferrari Nero black, with silver trim and red carpets
- Features include climate control, electric windows and mirrors, switchable sports mode and heated rear screen
- Aftermarket stereo installed
The internals of the 360 Modena are as finely tuned as its mechanics. With striking red carpets, silver alloy trim and a black leather profile, this car’s interior is a work of art that embraces the driver in style, with a distinctly modern feel befitting of the Millenium.
Everything here is in fine stead, too. There’s some age-related wear, but it’s difficult to ascertain anything more severe than some soft scuffing to the seats and door cards.
The carpets appear very clean and well-kept, and none of the leather is showing signs of damage outside of the usual sagging in the seats that so often comes with age. The low mileage of the car and level of care is on display for all to see.
The current owner has replaced the factory stereo unit with a Sony DSX-A42UI. We’re informed that all of the instruments are in good working order, with no faults to any of the controls or features.
The Exterior
- Bright red livery in good condition, proudly carrying the Ferrari branding throughout
- Very minor damage to report, but nothing to distract from the vehicle’s sleek appearance
- Good condition 18-inch five-spoke alloys, with Rosso brake callipers and an excellent set of Pirelli P Zero Asimmetrico Tyres that these were fitted in 2019 and have approx 5-6mm tread remaining.
The Modena is a sleek bit of kit that’s designed to take your breath away at first glance. With a sleek, understated shape and an aggressive, low stance, the racing lineage is on show through and through. With its quintessential colour scheme and generous curves, capped off with pop-up headlights, this is a car that tipped over the delicate earlier models with something fiercer, more flamboyant and more fanciful.
Needless to say, the exhibitionist vehicle was an immediate hit, sculpted out of pure engineering know-how to create an aerodynamic masterpiece.
The completely aluminium body is in good shape, with only a slight parking dent on the driver’s door. The front bumper was resprayed during the previous owner’s spell with the car, and it does carry some stone chips here and there. Considering this car practically glides over the road surface with only a few inches to spare, and has enough power to rip up the asphalt, this shouldn’t be too much of a surprise - and does nothing to detract from outer appearances.
The alloys are in good order, though has been touched in on the front-passenger-side wheel, with a small blemish on the rear-passenger-side wheel.
Ultimately, it’d take far more than these tiny faults to knock back the car’s stunning appearance. It may not be quite pristine - but it’s a fabulous example of a fabulous car, through and through.
The Mechanics
- 395bhp V8 3.6L Engine - the acclaimed Tipo F131

- Seller reports that the vehicle operates to a superb standard throughout
As the above should display, this car has been cherished throughout its life and has experienced a regular, steady routine of maintenance and replacement parts to keep it looking its best. The documented history we have here is reassurance to potential bidders that there is very little the new owner will have of concern, if anything at all.
Summary
This is a great example of a truly legendary sportscar - Ferrari’s bold step into the Millenium is still as legendary today as it was upon introduction, and will still demand attention wherever it goes.
This superb example is a fun, loud and utterly immersive dive into the world of early 2000s performance, and if you aren’t seduced by it already, you most certainly will be the moment that engine kicks into life.
A rare opportunity to get such a low mileage, well-maintained model into your garage.
