Which Ferrari model replaced the 360 Modena in 2004?

The story behind the answer

The Ferrari model that replaced the 360 Modena in 2004 was the F430.

The F430, internally designated Type F131, was Ferrari’s next generation of mid-engine V8 sports car. It was unveiled at the 2004 Paris Motor Show and entered production in 2004, replacing the 360 Modena after the 360 family’s run from 1999 to 2004. Ferrari offered the F430 as a berlinetta coupe and later as the F430 Spider.

Although the F430 shared the 360’s basic aluminum architecture, it brought substantial mechanical and aerodynamic changes. Its new 4.3-liter V8 produced about 490 PS, and the car introduced Ferrari’s electronically controlled “manettino” steering-wheel selector for adjusting driving systems. Styling details also drew on Ferrari’s racing and road-car heritage, including Enzo-inspired rear lights.

The F430 name can cause confusion because the 360 Modena was the model it replaced, while the 430 Scuderia was a later, lighter, more track-focused derivative of the F430. The F430 itself was eventually succeeded by the Ferrari 458, which was unveiled in 2009.
