The Ferrari 360 was introduced in 1999 as the replacement model for the Ferrari F355. However whereas the popular and extremely capable F355 was based on a heavily revised Ferrari 348 platform, the 360 was an entirely new car. The aluminum monocoque construction meant that the Ferrari 360 was 28% lighter and 40% stiffer than its predecessor - despite the fact it was also slightly larger.

The Ferrari 360 also marked a change in Ferrari's styling language. Gone were the slightly angular, sharp styling lines and in their place were some of the most curvaceous body panels ever to grace a car. The design was an instant styling hit, and the 360 regularly places highly in 'most beautiful car of all time' rankings.

The Ferrari 360 was powered by a mid-mounted 3.6 litre V8 (hence the 360 name). This engine produced around 400 hp @ 8,500 rpm, and 275 lb/ft of torque @ 4,750 rpm. Transmission choices for the Ferrari 360 included a standard six-speed manual gearbox which utilized the trademark exposed aluminium gaiter. Or a paddle shift operated sequential transmission which came at extra cost.

The Ferrari 360 was replaced in 2005 with the even more capable Ferrari F430.
