Ferrari 360 Spider F1

2002 Ferrari 360 Spider F1 LHD

For the 360, Ferrari partnered with Alcoa to produce an entirely new all-aluminium space frame chassis that was 40% stiffer than the F355 which it replaced. The design was 28% lighter despite a 10% increase in overall dimensions. Along with a lightweight frame, the new Pininfarina body styling dispensed with the previous decade’s sharp angles and flip-up headlights in favour of a much more modern, curvaceous outline. The new V8 engine, common to all versions, utilised a 3.6-litre capacity, flat plane crankshaft, titanium connecting rods and generates 395 bhp (294 kW, 400 PS). Despite what, on paper, look like modest gains, in reality, the power to weight ratio was significantly improved over the F355, due to the combination of less weight and more power. Weight was reduced by 60 kg and the 0-100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration performance improved from 4.7 to 4.5 seconds.

The 360 Spider is Ferrari’s twentieth road-going convertible and the 360 was always designed with a Spider variant in mind. Since removing the roof of a coupé tends to reduce its torsional rigidity, the 360 was built for strength in other areas and Ferrari designers strengthened the sills, stiffened the front of the floor pan, and redesigned the windscreen frame. The rear bulkhead had to be stiffened to isolate the cabin from engine noise vibration. The convertible’s necessary dynamic rigidity is provided by additional side reinforcements and a cross brace in front of the engine. Passenger safety is ensured by a strengthened windscreen frame and roll bars. The use of light aluminium throughout results in the Spider weighing in only 60 kg (130 lb) heavier than the coupé.

This, very special, left-hand drive 360 Spider F1 is finished in Grigio Titanio with Tan Leather and has covered less than 3,000 miles in total having come from a private collection in Luxembourg. It has been stored in a meticulous manner, so much so that the car was still on the original tyres with no sign of perishing or cracking. It has had a new set of tyres fitted for this Sale but the original set has been kept. It comes complete with all its original owner’s manuals and service book in the Ferrari leather book pack, an untouched toolkit in its leather holder, and the tyre inflation kit. The interior is in outstanding order with no signs of wear, the switches are all perfectly intact, the carpets and seats are pristine, and the car has a current MOT.
