The
360 Spider is Ferrari's 20th road-going convertible and is a record breaker in
two quite different ways. Without doubt it is the best spider Maranello has ever
produced in terms of engineering, looks and performance. And, thanks to the
exclusive experience Ferrari has accumulated as a Formula 1 constructor, it is
the most technologically advanced convertible available today. Despite the car's
mid-mounted V8 engine Ferrari's engineers have found a way of creating a hood
that automatically folds away inside the engine bay, thus ensuring purity of
line. The intrinsic quality of the design is underlined by the two fairings in
the bodywork to the rear of the seats which evoke memories of classic sports
cars. These are matched by the two roll bars that add the final touch to
providing maximum safety for the car's two occupants.
