Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale (2005)

When the 360 Modena was nearly four years old Ferrari wanted to homologate some improvements for their GTC racer and thus the 360 Challenge Stradale was introduced. The Challenge Stradale weighs in at just 20kg more than the Challenge and a staggering 110 Kg less than a standard Modena; resulting in a dramatic performance increase.

The Stradale features a host of aero and mechanical refinements that combine to make it 3.5 seconds faster around Fiorano than an ordinary Modena. Modifications include Carbon Ceramic brakes as standard, a 50% lighter multi axial carbon floor plan, a 25 BHP increase in power, aerodynamic tweaks allowing for up to 50% more vertical loading (including a different bumper, boot lid and sills as well as venturi ducts at the rear), carbon racing seats with 4 point harnesses, a stripped out interior with alcantara dash and carbon door cards as standard and an F1 gearbox with shift times of just 150 milliseconds to name but a few. A total of only 1288 Challenge Stradales were produced.

This particular example is a very late LHD Challenge Stradale supplied new to Cornes, Tokyo, Japan in January 2005. It is finished in in the extremely rare colour of Blu Mirabeau. The Challenge Stradale register shows this as the only car supplied in this colour. Finished with Blue and Crema Carbon leather race seats and a Blue hide dashboard, this car is fitted with the rare optional radio, extra stitching on the steering wheel, Yellow calipers and is fitted with the trademark stripe. The paintwork on the car is superb, the engine is matching numbers and the brakes are the original Carbon Ceramic discs and are just 5% worn, as is the clutch. The car has been regularly serviced throughout its life, is complete with all books, spare key fobs and torch and UK Registration is now underway. Having covered just under 12,500 miles from new, this car represents a fantastic opportunity to own a highly sought after model in an extremely rare colour.
