360 Spider generations, and what changed
These boundaries are not copied from a brochure — they fall out of the measurements. Where the 360 Spider's length or wheelbase jumps between consecutive model years the platform changed: a facelift moves a bumper by centimetres, a new generation moves the whole car — for the 360 Spider that gives 2 distinct generations below.
| Generation | Length | Wheelbase | Weight | vs previous | Weight change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2002 | 448 cm | 260 cm | 1390 kg | - | - |
| 2005 | 449 cm | 260 cm | 1390 kg | +1 cm | +0 kg |
Between 2002 and 2005 the 360 Spider gained 1 cm in length (+0.2%) and 0 kg in weight (+0.0%). Cars did not so much grow as thicken — crash structures, airbags and equipment weigh more than the metal they replaced, and on the 360 Spider that is 0 kg against 1 cm. Full dimensions by year →
