  Ferrari 360 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ferrari 360 is the name given to three models of Ferrari cars: the Ferrari 360 Modena, an enclosed two-door coupe; the Ferrari 360 Spider, a two-door convertible; and the Ferrari Challenge Stradale, the bare-bones version of the 360 Modena.
The 360 was replaced by the Ferrari F430 in 2005.
The Ferrari tradition, epitomized by the F40 model, is one of stripped-down performance and not of luxury.

Careful project development has led to a Challenge Stradale car weight that is fully 110 kg less than the 360 Modena, achieved by concentrating on three complementary areas spheres: materials, construction technology and project optimisation.
This initial approach towards drastically reducing the Challenge Stradale‘s weight already made it extremely competitive (compared with the 360 Modena) given that the basic material used, aluminium, has a specific weight one third of that of steel.
In terms of weight, the reduction achieved on the Challenge Stradale as a result of CCMs is 16% compared with conventional brake discs, but given that the weight eliminated affects unsuspended masses, its contribution to the car‘s performance is can be assumed to be even more significant.
