The Ferrari 360 F1 Spider is a brilliant technical tour de force that in concept and construction is an artful blending of sophisticated design, sensitive styling, blinding performance and comfort, coupled with exceptional rarity. Approximately 7,500 Ferrari 360 Spiders were built during their 1999 to 2004 production run.

The open-topped 360 Spider is a singular example of the talents of Ferrari’s designers and the skills of its employees and suppliers. Its chassis is as strong and rigid as its berlinetta counterpart. It weighs marginally more, yet it incorporates a sophisticated power top mechanism which retracts below a twin headrest top boot cover with roll hoops and a strengthened windshield frame for occupant rollover protection. The reason for the Ferrari 360 Spider’s continuing popularity and desirability is apparent: it continues the tradition of exceptional two-seat Ferrari Spiders begun in the fifties.

This 2004 Ferrari 360 Spider is powered by its 400 horsepower 3.6-liter V-8 engine which is fitted with the six-speed manual transmission and allows the driver to experience the thrill of hitting the proper revs and executing precise shifts. It is finished in silver with a blue leather interior with silver accents, and blue top. Additional equipment includes air conditioning, alloy wheels, Bridgestone Potenza tires, AM/FM radio with CD, Scuderia Ferrari shields on the front fenders; power top, windows, steering, and four-wheel disc brakes. The car shows less than 11,000 miles on the odometer and is reported as being freshly serviced.

Arguably one of Ferrari’s most important automobiles in years upon introduction, this Ferrari 360 Spider is an exceptional opportunity for an astute collector. It is no poseur. It is an authentic supercar capable of zero to 60 miles per hour passes in 4.6 seconds and braking back to a full stop in less than 2.7 seconds. Its top speed is in excess of 180 mph.

The 360 Spider heralded a new direction in Ferrari road cars and the experience of owning one should be constantly revitalizing and rewarding. This is a wonderful opportunity to own a signature Ferrari model of the 21st Century.
