Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale (2004)

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.

This exceptional Challenge Stradale was first delivered to Lauingen, Germany on the 30th November 2004. Finished in pure Rosso Scuderia over rare Grigio Scuro Alcantara seats with stitched Rosso Cavallinos, a rare optional radio and Nero Brake calipers. Additionally this car was specified with the hugely rare and highly desirable Lexan sliding windows. These windows, of which approximately only 3% of cars were fitted with have become highly desirable, not least because of their links to the Fabled F40, the "Godfather of Supercars"; very few Ferrari road cars ever produced have been fitted with these super iconic sliding windows.

Remaining in Germany until 2016, the car was purchased by its most recent owner and subsequently imported into the United Kingdom, with UK registration being granted in November. Today having covered just 23,300 Miles from new, it presents superbly and comes accompanied by its original books, spare key and history file. Having undergone a full major service including belts in October 2016 and most recently a thorough inspection by DK Engineering, this Challenge Stradale wants for nothing. The car is available to view immediately at our showrooms just outside London.
