A sloping glass hatch helps the car achieve its aerodynamic 0.335 drag coefficient. For the first time in a Ferrari production car, aluminum is used extensively throughout, from the chassis to the body panels. Measuring 176.3 inches in length, 75.6 inches in width and 47.7 inches in height, the car carries a curb weight of only 3064 lbs. The lightweight material reduces the car's weight by 220 pounds compared to the F355, though the new car is significantly larger in size than its predecessor. The interior benefits immensely from all the extra room.
Passengers get a few more inches of both leg- and headroom.
There's even room behind the front seats for a golf bag or a few pieces of luggage. Under the hood is additional storage area, nestled between the dual front radiators. The glass hatch covers the engine, which is separated from the cabin by a wall of glass. Two intake ports on top of the rear wheel arches provide air to the engine bay, which is then released through mesh grilles flanking the rear window. It's a screamer.
