Ferrari 360 in the wet

[Jacyn]

Hi,

Im thinking about driving a fair distance on friday but the weather report says 7 degree and heavy rain...

Do you thnk its best to give it a miss in this weather or will my P zeros be able to get me there safely?

Regards

As long as you're not trying to use all the performance and the tyres are not down to the wear marks, you'll be fine, the traction control on the 360 is very good in low grip conditions as well.

I run both a 355 and a 360 and use the 355 as the daily driver without any issues (I do avoid snow though!).

I drove back from Silverstone once in a monsoon in my 355, you won't enjoy it much but as long as you have decent tread on the tyres you should be fine.

Bear in mind depending on where you are there may be more snow later in the week. In which case i would not use it unless you are up for a challenge.

I have driven both the 355 and 360 in very heavy weather. The 360 fared better than the 355, but only a little. Last year coming across Italy i was in very very heavy rain in the 355. It was aquaplaning all over the place even at 40mph. I had to very gingerly pull over into the nearest service station. Bloody hairy.

It's down to how you drive.

Treat it with respect and you can drive it in the same conditions as any other car (or at least i do) heavy rain is not ideal and it means you're not having fun in the car, just getting from A to B so take something else if you can and save the 360 for a time when you are simply out to enjoy it.

The drainage on some of our roads is so bad that you sometimes need to be a bit careful

Tonight on the A3 my SV is not the easiest to drive when you hit standing water in the fast lane

Other than that I cant see what the issue is
