I can only assume there would be two massive turbos and some sort of electric motor if that's the case? Maybe 4wd?

It is definitely going to be a hybrid and it’ll have to have some turbos for sure. Maybe not 4wd though!!!! Either way it’s all new everything. First time they’ve designed anything all new since the 458.

Are you going to take Jordan with you? And are you allowed to film? Hope it's a great trip and you have a laugh!

No doubt it will be an awesome trip whatever it turns out to be, will be interesting to see what they get the V6 to sound like as well as they have made some of the best sounding cars of all time in V8 and V12 form!

No that wasn't mine. I saw the one with the glued on carbon and wind deflectors, driving gloves on the dash..... Each to their own.
Mine was the TriCoat red right Infront of the main Hall gates. Just next but one to the old fezza.
There was 3 Quadrifoglio there. Including a 19plate solid Alfa red on the Alfa stand.

Is it just me or is it slightly depressing that some regard the 360 Modena as being an "old fezza"?

What offends you - people using fezza to describe a Ferrari or putting old Infront of it?

If it's the latter well... the 360 is getting onto 20 years old? There are adults driving today who are younger.

If I had taken offence I'd have said so. As it is, I specifically said "slightly depressing" - something entirely different.

Finding something depressing isn't the same as finding something offensive. Don't put words in my mouth.

So yes, I am referring to the idea of a 360 being old.

Maybe I'm alone in this but I don't regard the 360 as being an "old" car.

Calm down love - go and argue on another thread.

I can't say what I said and not be calm?

I don't intend on derailing the thread any further. I thought my original comment was fairly innocuous, and the person who first responded very obviously took what I said out of context. Clearly I should just have left it.

Sorry love

Things move on so quick. Technology marches forwards and leaves last year's best model standing still. The beautiful curves of the 360 already look dated, not because it's necessarily an old car but because the newer designs are so different.

[anonymous-user]

I'm beginning to warm to the clean lines of the 360. It's modern enough that it's not a 'classic' but not so modern that it's all paddles only, fussy styling and clinical turbo power.

The 488/Pista and contemporary Ferraris are super effective, but fussy to look at, megabucks to buy and stupidly powerful.

I'd love to see what Ferrari could do with a maximum of 400bhp and simplicity at its core in a small mid engined berlinetta. A modern day Dino, if you will.

I think the opposite. I think the 360 has aged remarkably well, and certainly doesn't look dated, to my eyes. The Challenge Stradale in particular.

My visual perspective of the car is probably part of why I don't regard it as an old car.

[CooperS]

The 360 especially in Challenge spec is very handsome.

Still not sure about your logic..... can I assert the E-Type Jag is not an old car as it has a timeliness in its design too......

That's neither what I said, nor what I was getting at.

You can, but seeing as you're the one who mentioned logic, you'd be wrong.

Hi Pete,

You are probably aware of all these already (if not sorry for tempting you to spend yet more money) but thought might be of interest?

Well this is the only way I would get to own one of these!
Surely they can’t get away with it?

Did you read the story?

[Bright Halo]

My bad wording.
They got the car back but the thief is still at large.

The security camera image they’ve used looks like Theo Paphitis, I know his underwear shop isn’t doing very well (maybe it even went bust) but surely he’s not at thief level yet!

[fel71]

Come on Pete, it's been 2 weeks now since you posted a picture of one of your cars ( running or broken down, not really fussed ) this thread is the only reason I log onto Pistonheads these days, if you keep posting pictures it'll hopefully stop this thread going south. Have you really not bought anything recently or been towed off Waitrose's car park, sorry I mean Asda's.
