2001 Ferrari 360

This specially specced 2001 Ferrari 360 is a quintessential gentleman driver's example of Ferrari's visions going into the new millennium. Convertible, F1 6-Speed transmission, a naturally aspirated 3.6‑liter V8, and a Becker Performance exhaust. Dressed in a classy / rare color combination, and optioned all around in shades of Blue: Blu Tour de France paint, Blu leather upholstery, blue door inserts, blue carpets, and a matching blue soft top.

Being 28% lighter than its predecessor (F355), the 360 was innovative and revolutionary as Ferrari's first fully aluminum space-frame chassis example. In an era of overwhelming popularity to bright-hue colors, finding an example outside of the ordinary Racing red and Modena yellow production makes Blu Tour de France (TDF) sophisticated, elegant, and more than ever desirable amongst collectors. Recent maintenance is documented in the vehicle’s records, reflecting consistent servicing and mechanical attention over the years for buyers seeking a well‑kept and properly maintained 360 Spider.

This 360 Spider retains its mid‑mounted Tipo F131 V8 with dry‑sump lubrication, dual overhead camshafts, and five valves per cylinder. The Becker Performance exhaust provides a sharper tone, while the car rides on 18‑inch five‑spoke alloy wheels with Toyo Extensa HP tires installed in January 2023. To the interior, equipment includes an Alpine head unit, CD changer, aluminum pedals, automatic climate control, and a factory fire extinguisher in the front trunk.

The Ferrari 360 Spider debuted in 2000 as the convertible version of the 360 Modena, introducing Ferrari’s aluminum space‑frame chassis that improved rigidity and reduced weight compared to the F355. Designed by Pininfarina, the Spider maintained the model’s aerodynamic profile while offering open‑top capability without compromising structure. Its F131 V8 is known for its naturally aspirated character and mechanical simplicity relative to later models. Today, the 360 Spider is regarded as a key early‑2000s Ferrari, bridging analog feel with modern engineering.

This Blu Tour de France 360 Spider’s specification, European‑market origin, and documented servicing make it a distinctive and well‑prepared example.
