Can anyone tell me if the 1922 mm quoted for the width of the 360M on the Ferrari website includes the wing mirrors or not? If not does anyone have the width inc mirrors?

I doubt it does include the mirrors since a new shape Mondeo is 1931 mm wide inc mirrors which would make it wider than a 360!

Do the mirrors on a 360 fold in?

It doesn't include the mirrors, but they do fold in.

Thanks

Another trivial question: How is the 360 on Multi Story car park ramps? Do they bottom out at all?

Sorry for being persistent but if any 360 owners can give their feedback on my last comment it would be much appreciated.

There is a serious reason for asking. I’m living in downtown Barcelona for the next year or so and the only private off street parking is in basement car parks underneath apartment blocks.

They all have downward entrance ramps roughly equivalent in gradient to a ramp between levels in a multi story car park in the UK. I need to know if I can rent a basement parking space and drive a 360 in and out without bottoming out or do I need to make alternative arrangements for undercover but street level parking further out of town.

Cheers

I never had any real issues with the ride hight of my 360. I live in the Bournemouth area which is littered with speed humps. Where the Gallardo catches them on the skid plate near the front skirt if your not very carefully the 360 never had a problem. That all said, Ive never parked either in a multi storey car park. I guess its going to depend on the angle of climb or decent from the actual car parking level to the street.

If its only as steep as a multi story, you'll be fine. If its as steep as some of the London West End NCP car parks, (the one by Leicester Sq is pretty steep, I never really had any problems there in the 360, the 355 however was another matter but that was my fault and not really due to steepness lol) taking it slow and being gentle on the braking means you'll be ok 90% of the time.

I'm impatient so had a few scraps under the car, but its not actually the nose you are hitting its the cover underneath, so no *real* harm done. It just sounds horrible! As long as you're not doing a Michael Schumacher into and around the car park I'd say you'll be alright.
