Modena Manual (1999 to 2004)

Produced from 1999 to 2004, the Ferrari 360 Modena Manual is the purest and most sought-after specification of the 360, representing one of the last Ferrari V8 berlinettas to feature a factory-gated 6-speed manual transmission. Powered by the naturally aspirated 3.6-litre Tipo F131 V8 producing 395 hp, the 360 introduced an all-aluminium chassis and a mid-engine layout that significantly improved rigidity, balance, and everyday usability over the outgoing F355, while retaining a visceral, analogue driving experience. Ferrari quoted a 0–100 km/h time of just under 5 seconds, but it’s the tactile shift, sound, and simplicity that define the manual Modena today. Of the roughly 17,000 Ferrari 360s built, it’s estimated that fewer than 20% were delivered with a manual, making genuine factory manuals increasingly scarce. In the Australian market, the 360 Modena Manual sits firmly in modern-classic territory, with values driven by factory manual provenance, originality, service history, low kilometres, and colour/spec, as collectors increasingly prioritise analogue Ferraris from the pre-paddle-shift era.
