• Ferrari currently produced about 3,400 cars a year including 360 Modena, 456 M GT, and 550 Maranello.
• The Modena was followed by the 360 Spider, Ferrari's 20th road-going convertible.
• The 360 Spider was regarded a classic even when launched in 2000. Designer Pininfarinas lines are by many regarded as timelessly beautiful and yet sportingly aggressive.
• The Challenge was a track only car. It was a non-road legal variant of the Modena that shed 120 kg (265 lb) of weight by use of carbon fibre and stripping out of all of the road car's luxuries such as leather interior coverings, electric windows and mirrors.
