		The engineers' goal for the 360 Modena was 40% greater structural rigidity and a 28% reduction in weight from the F355, and these were achieved despite a 10% increase in overall dimensions.

		The generous dimensions of the 360 Modena, especially its length and height, also allowed the design team to create a 4.2 cubic foot space behind the seats, large enough for a couple of suitcases or a golf bag, in addition to the front boot with its capacious 7.8 cubic feet of space.

		The exclusive use of aluminum, a first for a Ferrari road car, has enabled Ferrari's engineers to reduce the 360 Modena's dry weight by 100 kg compared to the F355 despite rather more generous dimensions resulting in greater comfort and storage space.
		The 360 Modena is the culmination of research and experimentation with the use of aluminum on everything from Formula 1 cars, to the 408 4RM prototype and the GT competition cars which were always fabricated in aluminum.
		As a result, the 360 Modena is 0.8 of a second faster at 22.9 seconds over a kilometre from a standing start and has also cut nearly 3 seconds off its predecessor's lap time at the Fiorano track.

		In the truest possible underdog fashion, Modena were a Serie C1 team only two years ago, and in the news for the wrong reasons, when one of their players nearly died after being punched by an opponent outside the dressing room following a game at Como.
		Five of them are still regular or part-time starters, which in Italy is as rare as any coach actually admitting his team lost a game deservedly and not because of obscure machinations by men in shades and white coats (or fl jerseys and shorts and a whistle between their lips, as it is).
		Modena do not score many goals (ten in nine games, three of them in the win at Atalanta), but their defence has been solid, anchored by business-like central defender Roberto Cevoli.
