No Ferrari is ever going to be cheap to run, but the 360M definitely makes a nod towards reality with minor service intervals at 6250 miles and major maintenance at 12,500 miles. However, the cambelt still needs to be changed every 12,500 miles and official Ferrari service centres’ labour rates are stratospheric. Find a trusty independent Ferrari specialist and stick with them to lower your running costs.

The 360M can manage 18mpg, but this is only realistic if you are driving gently on the motorway. Depreciation is very slow, but only for well looked after cars in mint condition.

With a 3.5-litre petrol engine capable of at least 400bhp and a top speed in excess of 182mph, it’s no surprise that the 360 returns a meagre 14mpg. It emits 440g/km CO2 which is about average compared to similar supercars. Thankfully, buyers of these sorts of cars tend to clock-up fewer miles per year than those that own average family cars.

Ferrari owners face a quandary between using their cars to keep it in fine fettle and not putting too many miles on the clock to protect the value. The worst thing for a 360 is idleness as the oil drains from the engine’s complex and expensive valve gear, leaving it unprotected when the car is irregularly fired up. A carefully used and properly serviced 360 should not cause trouble.
