Timeless Design

Snapped this picture this afternoon while moving some of my cars around. 10 years separates these models and the 360 still has it...

Is it beauty in the eyes of the beholder? Or is the 360 truly a timeless design?

Show the same pic to someone who doesn't know much about cars and you'd be surprised by the answer. My personal opinion is the design of the car is timeless. The wheels and interior however are not. Put on a more modern shaped wheels and the 360 looks like a 2015 model

 

Both!

 

how challenge stradale oem wheel sounds like

 

Timeless, but the 355 still takes the ultimate honours IMO.

 

People are always amazed when told that my car is 16 years old. Definitely timeless.

I agree. People tell me I'm lying to them when I say my car is 15 years old. Not sure if it is because of the design or because they just don't know what a "new" Ferrari looks like.

 

Biased opinion -- the 360 in black and spider version is timeless. The darker color helps hide some of the dated lines, in my opinion...

 

Agreed with above. The interior and wheels are the only things that date the 360. The 355, while incredibly beautiful, is clearly an older vehicle -- not saying this is a bad thing.

 

Beautiful lines on the 360, at least from the side. I find the front looks incomplete with the big gap between the intakes.

 

360 is timeless design!!!!!

 

Am I the only one that likes the interior? I think the newer cars look a little too futuristic.

 

NO you are not alone. I love the aluminum in the interior! Reminds me of aircraft, easy to clean, durable, timeless, awesome-sauce!

 

Same goes with the 430... one of the most common questions I get is if its a brand new '14 or '15 model...

Great looking cars!

 

everytime i go out i usually get , "what year is it" "how can you afford a 400k car" lol
it still looks very modern and new

 

+1

 

I think it looks good either way. ...

Accept for the rag top. Looks marginally better with the top down.
The Modena is timeless. Even Pininfarina acknowledge the Modena as one of their best.

 

It's a timeless design, with the exception of one feature that shows some age, the lights. The modern look has gone towards a much more sleek and slim headlight style. In my opinion the headlights are the only aspect of the 360 that hasn't aged as well.

 

Timeless without a doubt.

 

I'm not a big star fish wheel fan, the modular wheels look much nicer and some of the after market wheels really wake the car up. Put the top down and then the car transforms into another world... Not only is the shape timeless, but I think it's the best looking spider out there...

The curvy look of the 360 is a throwback to the 50's sports car designs, which are now regarded as absolute classics. But it also has modern features like the engine under glass, big air ducts everywhere, and the wide supercar stance. When the car came out, it was a departure from the more angular lines that Ferrari had been using in the 80s and 90s. I think it has aged very well and is indeed timeless because of it's mix of classic 50s curves and modern features.

 

I own one, so of course I love the car, it is timeless, and who am I to contradict Paolo Pininfarina .

Not a big fan of starfish wheels, but, in some shots/angels, even they look very good. Personal opinion of course.

Interior, modern cars are too "playstation". I don't have to see G-meter, blinking LEDs etc., fuel, pressure, temperature does the job, simple is the best, nothing to date and nothing will age. Take out the Radio unit, make it more like a Stradale (stripped-out) and even interior is time-less, no leather to shrink, no sticky plastic.

I think the coupe looks timeless. The spider not as much.

 

I even like the starfish wheels.
