Kind of funny that even after buying a Modena, someone felt the need to slap a kit on it. Kit is subtle enough, but I don't care for the wheels...

Putting a body kit on a Ferrari, unless you plan to track it, is basically the same as saying that the car isn't good enough for you. Not pretty enough, although its impossible to improve on the looks of any Ferrari in my opinion. But if youre rich enough to have one, go ahead, do what you want to it, its your car. Im just saying its not something I would do...

ferrari is a finesse with their design......and i don't think this car need another replacement to their original bodykit......even though the vertice design bodykit looks nice but ferrari have their own reputation and that reputation came from the unique engines and design.......correct me if i'm wrong

The Imola Racing 360 GT is the best one. It's a street version of the racing body. And coupled with Koenig's 600hp twin turbo kit, would be awesome. Shit, even the convertible looks hot!! :shock: :shock:

Why? This is anti-rice... they are not all show no go.. quite the opposite, they have the balls to backup the looks...

Surely a twin-turbo F50 should look like that...

I do agree with RC45. When I made my prior post I was talking
mostly about rice Ferraris, and they do exist, I have nothing wrong
with Koenig or Hamman. In fact the F48 looks almost as badass
as the F40, and that is really saying something. And Koenig
has managed an incredible feet with the Testarossa by making it
extreamly agressive while not doing any harm to its sex appeal,
that's not easy at all.

ok, some of thoes examples are very veyr ugly, some are ok, and some are pretty good.

but with a 200k+ supercar, i believe in reguards to the styling "if it's not broken, don't fix it"

but some of the examples look alright...

1,000hp powerplant does hurt either...

I agree with KazeSupra, the Imola kit looks fantastic. I dont think these are riced up Ferraris. Unlike your average Civic with a wing, these cars may actually benefit or need the aerodynamic additions.

I just posted an article from Forza featuring the Imola Racing 360 and 355. Check it out here.

Interesting how we have come full cirlce. In the mid 1980's and early 1990's Ferrari barred Koenig from putting the prancing horse badge back on the cars he created, as they really had a problem with his extreme mods...

Now they seem to be embracing the high end tuners.

Amazing what the money from increased sales will do...

I think 360 looks great in standart. And all modifications should be aimed at making this car faster. Wheels, suspension & exhaust are the only things that can be modified

I actually read that article not too long ago. I love the Imola because it is EXACTLY like the race cars of that N-GT class, with the Michelotto cars of the same class varying only slightly from this design. The kit is proven on the track to provide better aerodynamics, so it is a functional kit. I need to find more pics of the convertable one :shock: :shock:

*Edit* 360 Spider, tuned by Imola Racing
