A rare and collectable race ready Ferrari Challenge car presented in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition.

Having had only relatively light use from new, this Ferrari 360 Challenge has a bodywork upgrade with the aerodynamic package from the Ferrari 360 N-GT, revised front and rear bumpers, a prominent front splitter, and a large carbon-fibre rear wing. The car sits on a set of lightweight 18-inch BBS Challenge alloys, fastened with titanium wheel bolts.

A range of modifications over the standard 360 Modena make the Challenge model a well-honed track car. The 3.6-litre, 410 bhp F131B V8 is blueprinted, micro-finished, and sits on uprated engine mounts. Its gearbox also features an upgraded transmission control unit that enables faster upshifts, as well as a racing clutch with lightened flywheel. Uprated and stiffer suspension components are fitted throughout, including multi-way adjustable dampers with ride-height setting adjustment.

In the cabin, interior trim covers, door panels, and the standard glass windows are all removed, along with the sound-deadening material. In their place are a lighter front windscreen and rear glass, Lexan polycarbonate side window panels with slide openings, and carbon-fibre inner door panels with pull cords. There are FIA-approved fuel tanks, a bolt-in roll cage, and two fixed bucket racing seats with multi-point harnesses. Ahead of the driver is an OMP three-spoke racing wheel and LCD instrument panel, and a fire suppression system is also installed. The Challenge model works out to be around 115kg lighter than a standard 360 Modena.

The bodywork of this car is in excellent condition, showing no panel damage, having previously had a full respray in Rosso Corsa, and presents very well overall.
Both the front bonnet cover and rear engine lid have quick-release style fastening pins, and the adjustable rear wing and struts are in very good order. Both doors fit flush to the body, and the release mechanisms are working as they should. The carbon-fibre inner panels have no cracks or chips, and they are complemented by the full carbon-fibre transmission tunnel console. An OMP Champ-R bucket seat is fitted and is in good order.

Recently subject of a significant investment including new FIA compliant fire suppressant system, airjack service, 8 x new coil packs and plugs, new wheel bearings and correct titanium studs, new oil cooler, brackets, and hoses, SD2 software check at Graypaul Ferrari, rolling road check with RnR Performance, track test, exhaust manifolds newly ceramic coated.

This Ferrari 360 Modena Challenge is a thrilling racer, which is eligible for a wide range of competitive events, including the GT Cup, Britcar Endurance Championship, Ferrari Club Racing Series, AMOC Racing GT Challenge and the Bell Sport Challenge Series. It is an ideal entry route for an enthusiast who is looking to campaign a Ferrari for the first time but could equally just be used for exciting track days if serious competition is not on the agenda.

Presented in superb overall condition, this is not your average tired race car. Instead, it has had hours of knowledgeable and detailed investment so that it is beautifully presented, on the button and ready to race.
