FERRARI 360 F131 Seat Leather

the Ferrari 360 (Project F131), encompassing the Modena and Spider, has transitioned into a true “modern classic.” The leather seats are a focal point of the interior, with several distinct configurations that significantly impact the car’s collectibility and value.

1. Seat Types for the Ferrari 360

There were three primary seat designs offered during the F131 production run:

A. Standard “Comfort” Seats

• Design: Horizontal pleats with moderate side bolsters.

• Function: Usually fully electric with 4-way or 6-way adjustment.

• 2026 Context: These are the most common. While comfortable, they are prone to “flattening” of the foam bolsters over time.

B. “Daytona” Style Seats (Highly Desirable)

• Design: Inspired by the 365 GTB/4 Daytona, featuring horizontal leather strips with “perforated” look inserts and often contrasting color strips.

• Collectibility: In 2026, a 360 with factory Daytona seats typically commands a $5,000 – $8,000 premium.

C. Carbon Fiber Racing Buckets

• Design: Non-reclining, one-piece carbon fiber shells trimmed in leather or Alcantara.

• Rarity: Extremely rare on standard Modenas; more common on the Challenge Stradale.

• Value: A genuine set of 360 Carbon Buckets is a “holy grail” part in 2026, often selling for $12,000 – $18,000 a pair.

2. Common Ferrari Leather Color Codes

Ferrari used Connolly Leather (early models) and later transitioned to other Italian tanneries. The most frequent colors found on the 360 include:

3. 2026 Restoration & Pricing (Estimated USD)

As these cars are now 20+ years old, the leather often requires more than just a cleaning.

4. The “Sticky Button” Interaction

A unique issue for the 360 in 2026 is that the “sticky plastic” residue from the dashboard and seat control bezels often drips or rubs onto the leather.

• Warning: Do not use harsh solvents to clean sticky residue if it is on the leather. It will strip the dye. Use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft-bristle brush.
