Will give Ferrari's breadwinner, the 360 Modena, a real fright




Drive this thing as God intended and you're looking at 10-12mpg. Tyres are frighteningly expensive and won't last long, servicing will be frequent - and there's just one UK dealer, in London, so if you live outside the south-east, you'll have to transport your car for service. Certainly it won't be the relatively painless experience of Porsche ownership, but it's on par with Ferrari, so manages better than one star. Well, if you tire of it, you can sell with a balance of the manufacturer's two-year warranty. As the baby of the Lambo range, and a new car, its values will stay firm. Trouble starts when a car is the most expensive and the oldest - look at the way Ferrari 456 values plummet. Considering a Ferrari 360 Modena is just two-wheel drive, has two fewer cylinders and over 100bhp less to play with, this is a well-priced car. Against the Porsche Turbo, though, you're paying for sophistication, exclusivity and sound effects more than raw ability.
