One of the greatest Ferrari’s of the 2000s, the 360 Challenge Stradale really set the trend of having track focused street-legal sports cars, which has allowed other great V8 rear-mid engined Ferraris such as the 430 Scuderia, 458 Speciale and 488 Pista to follow in its footsteps. What is special about the Challenge Stradale is that it contains racing origins having started life as the 360 Challenge Race Car before being re-tuned to be a road car unlike the Scuderia or Speciale which were originally built as road cars.

With a stripped out interior to dramatically reduce weight and increase performance, and helped by the carbon ceramic brakes carried over from the Ferrari Enzo, the Challenge Stradale delivers superb handling, braking and a visceral driving experience honed for both the track and the road. Built very much with driver excitement in mind the Challenge Stradale is perhaps most often praised for it’s unforgettable exhaust note which still to this day is regarded as the loudest street-going Ferrari ever made. A true modern classic which typifies what makes Ferrari such a special brand, this particularly cherished example is deserving of going to a great home or into the most discerning of collections.
