I think the 360's look dated and their performance is poor now. If they can be out accelerated by a family car that can take 5 adults and some suitcases... I'm struggling to call it a supercar anymore. A classic Ferrari, sure. Supercar... I don't think so.
That’s one way to look at it but the generally accepted way is to think of it “in period” context. A Mercedes 300SL from the late fifties would get out accelerated by a pair of electric roller skates but it was most definitely a supercar in 1959...Edited by Julian Thompson on Saturday 4th July 21:21

Tell you what. I'll give you a Golf R, an Audi 'something' or whatever and you can swap me a 360.There is more to a supercar than numbers.

I’d expect an early Countach to be pretty slow compared to most stuff now but it’ll always be a supercar surely?

I tend to agree with this although I do understand the previous poster and his viewpoint.

Of course. It'll always deliver an experience beyond a 'sports' car.I’d expect an early Countach to be pretty slow compared to most stuff now but it’ll always be a supercar surely?

How old was the author when he went to university?
He was at primary school in 1999 and then at uni in 2006.
FWIW 360 every day.

Ferrari 360 all day long for me. I actively want one, and could just, just about afford to buy and properly maintain one, but given everything that is going on at the moment I dare not. Knowing my luck I'd buy it on the Saturday and get called to the initial consultation meeting at work on the Monday.
One day though, for sure!
