The 360's replacement: Ferrari F430
Hard to believe there's already a replacement for the 360, but here it is:
Check this out:
What's the most significant feature of the Ferrari F430, the replacement for the 360 Modena? The clue is in the name: it's the all-new 4.3-litre V8 engine.
4.3L? That's nuts. And that 0-62 time is pretty crazy, too. My guess is that this car will easily go for a shade under $200k, which probably means that the rich have gotten richer since the 360 first came out. Well, if you can't swing 200 large, you can probably pick up a used 355 for 90 and have money left over to pay the insurance.
This generates 483bhp, or 83bhp more than the regular 360's 3.6-litre V8. Ferrari's latest supercar is good for a 0-62mph time of precisely four seconds and a top speed of 197mph - that's an increase of 11mph over the 360.
