Development history
Ferrari partnered with Alcoa to produce an entirely new all-aluminum space-frame chassis that was 40 percent stiffer than its predecessors which had utilized steel. The design was 28 percent lighter despite a ten percent increase in overall dimensions. Along with a lightweight frame the new Pininfarina body styling deviated from traditions of the previous decade's sharp angles and flip-up headlights. The V8 engine has a 3.6-litre capacity, a flat-plane crankshaft, and titanium connecting rods. The engine generates a power output of 400 PS (294 kW; 395 hp). According to Ferrari, weight was reduced by 60 kg (132 lb) and the 0–100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration time improved from 4.7 to 4.5 seconds.

Why this record matters
“Ferrari 360” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Ferrari, model and manufactured provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q117235. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1999 and 2004.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
