Let’s take a look at what this car has on offer….

Initially when the car was released it was available in two styles; Spider convertible bodies and Modena Coupe.

Not only was it a factor of styles, the car came in with a huge bang of performance!



The initial models had the all time famous V8 engine of 3.6 liter and were mid mounted giving the car the best performance it required to get all those eyes drooling over it. But this is not where it ended its blessing over sports car lovers! The engine has a horsepower of 400 at 8500 rpm which back then was literally AMAZING! Most of all, the car had the capability of reaching 4 0 to 60 mph in 4 seconds! 
 

If you are thinking it’s over then it’s not yet! This Ferrari was not just about performance and speed but it offered much more. The 360 Spider cam with frame chassis made of aluminum, a double wishbone suspension again made of aluminum and finally a chic exterior again made of aluminum. Why so much of aluminum? Simply to make the car lighter to make it go faster! Yes Ferrarites, speed is the priority with Ferraris. 
 

As said earlier, this Ferrari was not just about the super-cool exterior and the lightning speed it had but it also was a sophisticated car with a comfortable and lavish interior. Seats were made of leather, bucket seats, etc. made this Ferrari the best sports car the world had ever seen. Back in those days, every Hollywood movie had this car with the super action hero trying to show his guts while driving it! Oh no it wasn’t him but it was the car that actually made him capable of outrunning those bad guys!
