In The Works: New 360 Modena

Evolving 360: Ferrari testing heavily reworked version of 360 Modena
By GREG KABLE

Ferrari is road testing a heavily reworked version of the 360 Modena, dubbed the 430 Modena.

Likely to appear for the first time at next year’s Geneva motor show, the two-seater will forego the 3.6-liter V8 used in the existing car for an engine derived from the 4.2-liter V8 used in the Maserati Coupe/Spyder and Quattroporte.

AutoWeek sources say the new powerplant’s capacity of about 4.3 liters will produce 480 hp, up from the 360’s 400 hp, and much closer to the 500-hp 5.0-liter V10 in competitor Lamborghini’s Gallardo. Changes to the Maserati engine include a flat crank, lighter internals and a revised air inlet manifold—all aimed at allowing it to rev close to 9000 rpm.

yeah im thinkin bout buying the first one sold in the U.S. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Did anyone else see car and driver tv this weekend? They put up the Ford GT against the Ferrari 360 and the Porsche 911 turbo. Apparently the Ford kicks their royal ass in power and track times. Its hard for me to accept being a Ferrari fan, but the Ford can't have the elegance as the others. For me the Ferrari is worth the extra $50,000 or so. But i can't really say that considering ive never driven either.

:shiftingfun: :burnout:

[NismoR34VspecII]

Ive seen dat one, sucks for the euro cars to get beat, i dont care I still love the 911 Turbo....... :D

[Mr. Merk]

still cant touch the V6 camaro ^_^

[95TSiEVO6GSR]

I guess Id drive it if you paid me.... :D

[3rdgenRX7]

The thing about that test is the Ford gt was ment to take down those cars performance wise, but Ford will never have the prestige of the other cars. Or at least not anytime soon

[juggalo]

id race a 911 on a moped...and id win so :P :lol: :lol:

[Mr. Merk]

I don't know... I just don't like the 360. If I wanted a Ferrari, it damn well better have at least a V-12. Nothing sounds better! :wootburnout:

:lol: if you're reffering to BDP & I (As I think we're the only mods/admin that have Fords, other than Lazarus)..

I don't care. :P I deal with the phrase "Ford Junk" all of the time, it doesn't even phase me anymore.. :lol: It's like, hey man, all cars have their share of problems, just seems Fords problems stick with people.. One of the members could message me and say, "Your (MX-6 or Probe) is the ugliest piece of shit I've ever seen.." I'd just be like, "that's a great line. :thumbup: " ... It just doesn't phase me anymore..

:lol: Merk, you're cool.



:thumbup:

It's only a piece of junk if it's not loved. Except for some models...but they're like the red headed step children of the family. It's not their fault they suck. One mans trash is onther man's treasure. A geo could be an amazing car if you didn't have one.
