The F355 tops out at more like 173mph. 183mph was stated by Ferrari but is generally agreed to be old school bravado. No-one ever seems to get one much past 170 in reality.
Fangio Man 12y ago
I did not expected much difference.
The 360 has 20 PS more but also weights 40 kg more than the F355.
Peter Phillips 15y ago
If correct the only way for that to be true would be for the 355 to have less drag.....
golf1diesel 15y ago
why the 355 gains after 160 kmh and why does it have a higher top speed with older technology and less hp?
