The Ferrari company boss, Luca di Montezemolo is of the opinion that one should not tune a Ferrari, but when considering the exclusive Ferrari 360 offer made by HAMANN MOTORSPORT, one realises that it must be done.

The HAMANN engineers have developed a large number of aerodynamic components which turn every 360 into a real designer piece. It speaks for itself that all of the mounted components are optimised both with regard to the weight and the performance. One example is the STRADA front spoiler which is of fibre glass, thereby ensuring that the front axle is subjected to a heavily reduced buoyancy. The sill wings emphasise the elegant layout of the two-seater and provide the sports car with an appearance which is even more sporty. In addition to the optical enhancement, the driving stability of the Ferrari 360 is also improved as a result of the HAMANN aerodynamic components. Especially the rear wing which has a futuristic appearance, the end of the Venturi tunnel with a multi-part diffuser and specially designed air dam such as are used in motor sports, ensure that there is an increased output drive on the rear axle, thereby providing an even greater driving pleasure. In addition, the specialists from Laupheim also designed a new rear middle panel with aeration and ventilation slits which guarantee an improved engine compartment aeration. The HAMANN components are all available either in a carbon-kevlar fibre glass design, thereby providing an optimum driving performance.

In order to provide an additional increase in driving pleasure, the HAMANN engineers designed diverse chassis components for the Ferrari 360. For example, progressively working sport chassis springs are available which, in addition to lowering the vehicle by 40 millimetres at the front and 20 millimetres at the rear, especially improve the handling. The sport threaded car chassis guarantees an even greater performance and also allows the car to be lowered by 40 millimetres. The specially matched shock absorbers and springs make the Ferrari 360 more agile with an improved steering accuracy, that is pure driving pleasure.

From the rear, one cannot fail to notice the HAMANN stainless steel high-performance exhaust system. This provides the eight-cylinder drive with an increased performance of approx. 15 PS and a rich, sonorous motor sport sound which gives you goose bumps. The sport exhaust pipe is available in two different versions, either with or without an exhaust fume flap control system. HAMANN offers serrated manifolds and metal catalytic converters for all of the Ferrari 360 models, which provide an additional performance of approx. 24 hp.

A delay to the exact point is guaranteed by the HAMANN sport braking system for the front axle with slit and interior-ventilated brake discs with a dimension of 355 x 34 millimetres and special brake pads. The red four-piston fixed callipers take a firm hold and are a real eye-catcher. This is especially the case in combination with the new HAMANN ANNIVERSARY II light alloy wheels . The multi-component, forged wheel with its filigree spokes opens up a deep view of the sportive appearance of the Ferrari 360. HAMANN supplies the exclusive wheel in the sizes 9x19 inches with 255/30ZR19 tyres for the front axle and 12.5x19 inches with 355/25ZR19 tyres being fitted to the rear axle.

As with all of the HAMANN models, luxury, a motor sport feeling and individualism dominate in the interior. The specialists from Laupheim offer high-quality full leather seats of a unique quality. Those who want to have an even grater sporting experience should opt for the lightweight cockpit with racing seats. A complete carbon interior including doorsill strips are also available to match. A HAMANN roll bar is even available for the Modena Coupé. The exclusive set of HAMANN floor mats with the illuminated HAMANN logo if required, rounds the interior styling off.
