It feels a little like groundhog day – I find myself sitting here looking for new prose to describe the same thing: 360 prices continue to rise in the wake of unrelenting demand. The average asking price has risen 2.97% over the last month which leaves the price index at 127.91. That’s more than a 25% … More Ferrari 360 Market Watch (June 2015)
Let’s start with the elephant in the room – the 360 spider that is up for sale with JCT600. For those of you who don’t follow the UK market, the car in question is an ultra low mileage spider offered at an eyewatering £140k. And that’s after a £30k price reduction in the last 24 … More Ferrari 360 Market Watch (May 2015)
Like many other high performance cars, modern Ferraris are fitted with separate handbrake calipers in addition to the main rear braking calipers. This allows the much more powerful brakes to be fitted, in fact the non-CCM 360 and F430 use the same 4-pot calipers front and rear (the bias is different though).

At time of first purchase, both the Ferrari 360 and F430 could be specified with an optional “Hi-Fi sound system (with subwoofer)” (code SND1) for an additional GBP 1,100 / USD 2,000. There is very little technical information available on this Hi-Fi system – its audio and electrical connections are not even shown in the … More Ferrari 360 & F430 Hi-Fi Sound System
I’m often asked what is the best pad for a 360 or steel braked F430. The answer is always dependent on two further questions – how hard are you as a driver on the brakes and how much are you willing to compromise on noise? The OEM pads are good for fast road use but … More Ferrari 360 & F430 Brake Pads

The … More Ferrari Air Conditioning Service

Activity continues to be strong at the upper end of the spectrum. I have been involved in a few 360 transactions during … More Ferrari 360 Market Watch (March 2015)
The Becker radio head units installed in Montezemolo era Ferraris (think 360, F430, 575, 599, etc) are known to develop a fault whereby they draw a substantial amount of current even when in OFF state. This article explores a possible cause for this fault and proposes a simple (although not perfect) workaround. For info on tracking … More Ferrari Becker Radio Current Leak
The Ferrari 360 and F430 (as well as other tipos of the era) were all shipped from the factory with infotainment system head units manufactured by Becker. These head units were manufactured especially for Ferrari but, apart from physical and electronic Ferrari branding, are essentially identical to their commercially-available counterparts of their time.
