Ferrari 360 Modena price

• 360 Modena: The coupé uses a naturally aspirated 3.6-litre V8 rated at 395bhp by Magneto. Buyers could choose a six-speed gated manual or the F1 paddle-shift automated manual. (Magneto, Hagerty UK, checked 4 November 2026.)
• Related road cars: The Spider followed in 2000. The lighter, more focused Challenge Stradale arrived in 2003 with higher output and its own specification; it should not be mistaken for a Modena with added parts. (Magneto, Octane, checked 4 November 2026.)
• Service access: The cambelts can be reached through a panel behind the seats, with the engine remaining in place. That improves access but does not make the interval optional. (Hagerty UK, checked 4 November 2026.)

The factory transmission is the clearest specification divide. Original gated-manual cars command stronger interest than typical F1 examples; verify whether a car left Ferrari as a manual, since later conversions are not valued in the same way. Continuous service records, correct specification and evidence of major age-related work matter more than a very low odometer reading on its own. For an F1 car, request a diagnostic assessment of clutch wear alongside invoices and a road test. On any Modena, check whether early cam-variator work was completed. Attractive paint and trim help, but they should follow a sound inspection of body, suspension and mechanical history. (Octane, Magneto, checked 4 November 2026.)

Ask about the early cam-variator campaign, especially on a pre-2001 car. Check for oil weeps around cam covers, persistent tappet noise after warm-up and hesitation at higher revs. An inlet-manifold butterfly can rattle. Each symptom needs diagnosis; a good-looking engine bay does not settle it. (Magneto, Octane, checked 4 November 2026.)

Drive an F1 car in ordinary traffic as well as on an open road. Jerky take-off, poor shifts or hydraulic leaks may expose clutch, pump, actuator or mount issues; have clutch wear read diagnostically. On a manual, check the shift through the gate when cold and warm. Listen for suspension knocks over uneven ground: upper and lower ball joints and rear tie rods are known wear points. Uneven tyres or vague steering deserve a geometry check. Finally, inspect for aluminium-body corrosion around the windscreen, nose, side repeaters and drainage areas, and look for sticky interior switches. (Magneto, Octane, checked 4 November 2026.)

Ferrari cambelt work is time-based. Octane describes Ferrari’s three-year replacement schedule; invoices should establish when it was done and what related work accompanied it. Magneto recommends annual oil changes or every 6,000 miles, whichever comes first. Regular use and an annual service record are reassuring, but they do not replace checks of suspension joints, brake discs, tyres and the F1 clutch. A car that has stood still can still need age-related work. Have a marque specialist inspect it before purchase and identify the next scheduled jobs from the actual records. (Octane, Magneto, checked 4 November 2026.)

Does the engine come out for a 360 cambelt change? No. A rear-bulkhead access panel allows the belts to be changed with the engine in place. (Hagerty UK, checked 4 November 2026.)

Is an F1 gearbox unreliable? The gearbox can be durable, but its clutch and hydraulics need careful assessment. Ask for diagnostics and judge its behaviour on a proper drive. (Magneto, checked 4 November 2026.)

Are manual conversions valued like factory manuals? No. Confirm the car’s original build specification before treating it as a factory gated-manual Modena. (Octane, checked 4 November 2026.)

What suspension noise matters? Knocks over bumps can indicate worn ball joints or tie rods. A specialist should check the joints and geometry. (Magneto, checked 4 November 2026.)
