Ferrari Limousine Review



Ferrari Limousine

Ferrari 360 is a mid-engine two-seat sports car produced between 1999 and 2005. The 360 ??replaced the Ferrari F355 and was itself replaced by the Ferrari F430 quite similar. For the 360, Ferrari partnered with Alcoa to produce a new all-aluminum space-frame that was 40% stiffer than the 355, but 28% lighter despite a 10% increase in size. With the new framework was a new body style Pininfarina who broke ranks with the sharp angles of the last decade and flip-up headlights, replacing them with a rounded look that harkened to 1960. The new V8 engine, which is common to all versions, was only slightly larger and more powerful than the 355 is 3.6 liters and 300 kW (400 hp) of power, but the lighter frame and added stiffness improved performance from 0 to 100 km / h Acceleration improved from 4.6 to 4.4 seconds (not as trivial as it seems), and challenge versions it was as low as 4.0 S.

The Ferrari 360 Spider is roadgoing convertible twentieth century. The model has been considered a classic even when launched in 2000. Pininfarina design lines are considered by many as the timeless beauty and yet sportingly aggressive.

Engineers have been working hard since the beginning of the project will create 360 ??Spider and the basis for an exceptional torsional and flexural stiffness. They had the thresholds are set to stiffen the front of the floorpan and redesign the windscreen frame. The rear bulkhead had to stiffen the engine to cut the noise from the cabin. Convertible bond required dynamic stiffness is achieved with an additional side reinforcements and cross-card in front of the engine. Passenger safety is ensured by strengthened windscreen frame and roll bar.

The 360 ??Spider displays a curvilinear waistline. Metallic coatings involves the beginning of a roof, and anti-roll bars are integrated into the stable elevations. Due to the use of lightweight aluminum construction throughout, Spider weighs only 60 kg (130 lb) more than the coupe.

Despite the rise of the mid-car V8 Ferrari engineers found a way to create a hood that automatically folds away inside the engine compartment, thus ensuring purity of line. The canopy top of wrinkle-free material is available in black, blue, gray and beige. The strip from the top of a closure a convertible outdoor folding is a two-step action that has been dubbed "a stunning 20 seconds mechanical symphony". After a short back, the entire top disappears into a closed storage area between the seats and engine.

The interior of the Spider is identical to the coupe.
