Jalopnik: Ferrari 360 Modena

Ferrari F150 ≠ Ferrari + F150

Peter Orosz — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 16:30:00 EST

While it won't be until March that we'll learn just how fast Ferrari's new F1 car, the F150 is, we can probably expect it to outpace this previous attempt at a Ferrari F150. (Hat tip to boluke01!) More »

Bad Day For This Guy

Ben Wojdyla — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 14:30:00 EST

There's probably no worse feeling for a car guy than standing by helplessly as your car burns to the ground. This guy had a very bad day Sunday, that's his Ferrari 360 burning along California's Highway 101. Carnage below. More »

Matt Hardigree — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 09:30:00 EST

Aussie Bisects Ferrari 360 Modena Front End With Pole, Miraculously Survives

Ben Wojdyla — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 10:30:00 EDT

A couple of knuckleheads in the Australian town of Walkerville managed to wrap the front third of a Ferrari 360 Modena quite effectively around a telephone pole and walk away with only minor injuries. Eyewitnesses report the car was speeding around the local roads (surprise!) and as you can see, the eventual accident was pretty incredible, with the pole intruding to the point where it takes the space normally occupied by, say, the shifter over the transmission tunnel. With yesterday's Lamborghini Gallardo sliced in half width-wise and now a Ferrari split down the middle, it's like learning automotive biology by supercar dissection around here. (Hat tip to half our readers for sending this in!) More »

Wrecked Ferrari F430 Tossed Around By Eager Onlookers

Ben Wojdyla — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 12:20:00 EDT

If you wreck the hell out of your beautiful new Ferrari F430 in the back country of Italy, this is what you should expect during the recovery and transport process. This accident happened between Aprilia and Ardea along Italy's west central coastline after the Ferrari apparently acted as a rental toy during a wedding. The sound that greets you in the opening moments is as hateful as anything you'll hear today: It's the F430's roof scraping on the asphalt as it's dragged by a wrecker. It only gets worse from there. We're not trying to be opportunists or anything, but if anybody lives in Italy, it might make sense to watch Craigslist for a Lemons engine ringer. A complete gallery of the awful carnage below.

Ferrari 360 Modena V8 Engine On Ebay Has Us Daydreaming

Mark Arnold — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 17:20:00 EDT

Cranking out about 400 HP, this high-strung 3.6-liter V8 from a 2000 Ferrari 360 is certainly not the most powerful engine you can buy for $11,000. Logically speaking, then, there's really not much of a reason to be interested in it. Logic, however, has never heard the scream of eight hot-blooded Italian cylinders exploding at 8500 RPM. Our minds wander with the possibilities for this "perfect" condition mill. There's already one in the back of the "Ferrambo" Nash Rambler wagon, but surely there's an even better application yet for such a glorious piece of machinery. More »

Ferrambo Wins 2008 Ridler Award At Detroit Autorama

Ben Wojdyla — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 07:30:00 EDT

After the 2008 Geneva Motor Show, we needed a little recoup time, but yesterday we were back on the beat at the 2008 Detroit Autorama. We're just going to lay the smack down right away, the winner of the 2008 Detroit Autorama Ridler Award was a car we saw last year in the building stages - a Ferrari-engined Nash Rambler dubbed "Ferrambo". The bright red lightning rod of holy-shit-that's-crazy stood out pretty strong amidst this years Great 8 as the hands down, batshit craziest entry and we love the Autorama judges for giving it the nod.

Ferrari 360 Modena Limousine; Or, How to Look Ridiculous

Ben Wojdyla — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 13:15:00 EST

Nothing says chav quite like rolling up to your wedding in a 20 foot long Ferrari 360 Modena Limo. Though not quite as impressive as the Czech-built Skoda limo the other day, this one will probably hold more Guinness World Records. The 360 limo was the brainchild of owner and builder Dan Cawley, in partnership with former Mclaren associate Chris Wright. They constructed the car by slicing the beast in half and then painstakingly reconstructing the carbon-fiber chassis, along with adding carbon -iber supports. Even though the car is over nine feet longer than stock, it only weights in at an additional 350 lbs.
