Ferrari 360 Modena

The Ferrari 360 Modena is not a car in the traditional sense. Cars are about transportation, get to grandma’s house, haul home the groceries, they’re a necessity, like food or ESPN. But the Ferrari 360 Modena F1 has little to do with transportation, little to do with necessity. It’s a 395-horsepower, $155,000 sports car. It’s a pleasure machine, pure and simple.

Still, the 2002 Ferrari 360 Modena F1 is as close to a real car, a traditional car, a usable car, as the storied Italian car maker has ever produced. For the first time, Ferrari has addressed such things as interior space, basic ergonomics and overall comfort, not to mention our test car’s automatic transmission, which makes this the first of the brand’s mid-engined supercars that can truly be driven everyday.
