The Overview

The mid-engine Ferrari as we know it today has taken years in the making.

This evolution for Ferrari gave way to many different and interesting cars/ The 512, Testarossa, 308/328, 348, and the 355. In the year 1999, Ferrari released, at the time, there latest mid-engine performer. The 360 model line offered 400 horse power and a lightened aluminum space-frame by Alcoa. Despite an only slight increase in horse power, the 360’s power to weight ratio was up tremendously from the 355 that utilized a steel chassis. This allowed for a 0-60 time of just 4.3 seconds. Both beautiful and fast, the 360 is certainly an exotic worthy of the passionate driving enthusiast.
