Ferrari 360 Modena – Rare manual

Chassis no. ZFFYR51B000114967 | One of the best driving modern manual Ferraris

A superbly documented, low-owner, left-hand-drive manual Ferrari 360 Modena, presented in outstanding condition and maintained without compromise. As manual Ferraris continue to disappear into long-term collections, the gated six-speed 360 Modena has firmly established itself as one of the most compelling modern classics of the Maranello era.

Model & Significance

The Ferrari 360 Modena marked a turning point for Ferrari: the first all-aluminium chassis road car from Maranello, offering a step change in rigidity, weight reduction, and usability over the F355.

While the majority of 360 Modenas were delivered with the F1 transmission, the manual version is now universally regarded as the most desirable specification.

• Manual Ferrari 360 Modena production: approx. 2,630 examples

• USA deliveries (manual, US spec): 469

• UK deliveries (manual, RHD): 352

• Non-USA manuals: approx. 1,809 cars

  
  

By comparison, even the highly regarded F355 GTB with manual transmission, was produced in greater manual numbers (3,829 units), making the 360 Modena manual significantly rarer.

Specification
