Starting with a base Modena Challenge car, the development work by Ferrari's main tuner concentrated on mainly on weight reduction and aerodynamics.
First JMB Ferraris were equipped with F355 Challenge Rear wings and
with the (now banned) electronic assisted gearbox, accelerator, ABS and anti-skid systems. With 31.5 mm restrictors and Cat, the power output was ±400 bhp.
Initially, the cars were reliable but not as quick and efficient as the Porsches. In 2001 the Modena received a new aero package (front spoiler and rear wing) and the wheel arches were reworked to house the bigger wheels. Over the past 2 seasons the 360's performance improved as the cars reaped the benefits from the continuous developments.
By 2002 JMB was back in winning form and claimed the FIA N-GT title.
Ferrari 360 Modena N-GT Data:
