• Finished in Rosso Corsa over a tan leather-trimmed interior
• Powered by a 3.6-litre V-8 engine developing 400 horsepower, sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed F1 automated manual gearbox with paddle shift
• Odometer reads only 35,296 kilometres
• Accompanied by owner’s manuals with Ferrari torch and tool kit

Revealed to the world in 2000, the 360 Spider shares the underpinnings of its coupé 360 Modena sibling, with both cars boasting the Tipo 131 Ferrari platform that houses a rear-mid-engine 3.6-litre dry-sump V-8 engine. The 360 Spider, unlike earlier open-top offerings from Maranello, offered virtually indistinguishable performance to the coupé on which it was based, meaning buyers could enjoy the best of both worlds. The promise of supercar levels of performance could be enjoyed alongside the thrills of open-air motoring.

This attractive example left Maranello destined for Portugal, imported via Viauto Automóveis e Acessórios, Lda of Alcabideche, near Lisbon, and delivered to its first owner in nearby Monte de Caparica on 26 May 2004. The Ferrari is finished in Rosso Corsa over an attractive tan leather-trimmed interior. The upper dashboard is finished in contrasting black leather, while the centre console and door edges are finished in a smart silver aluminium-effect finish. This 360 Spider has been used sparingly from new, showing only 35,296 kilometres on its odometer at the time of cataloguing.

As enjoyable to behold as it is to drive, this vibrant open-top, rear-mid-engined, naturally aspirated Ferrari would make a spectacular addition to any collection, and is accompanied by its owner’s manuals and torch, as well as its factory tool kit and a space-saver spare wheel.
