Ferrari 360 Modena

Ferrari 360 Modena

Few cars have united our road testers as consistently as the Ferrari 360 Modena.

When one tester described the Modena as 'arguably the most exciting, rewarding and downright best supercar ever', all a fellow tester could fault with the review was the word 'arguably'.

A classic in a class of its own, the 360 drives with a joyous urge. Its F1 paddle shift, clever aerodynamics and sparkling handling create an unparalleled driving experience.

The engine pulls so cleanly, the brakes are so strong and the noise so delicious that it would take abstinence of monk-like proportions not to have a go at every single corner.

The mid-mounted V8 fills the cabin with its scream - and you'll never want it to stop. In the drop-top Spider, the aural pleasure is even more intense. It's a continuous car chase in surround sound, inches from your ears. The hood works a treat, too - it's completely automatic.

If you are lucky enough to be able to choose a Ferrari 360 Modena or 360 Spider you get a blindingly brilliant bit of work, and we're dreadfully envious.

And if you can afford the extra £30k for a 360 Challenge Stradale, we'll never speak to you again. More power and less weight give this road-going version of the Ferrari Challenge race car an even more explosive punch.
