One of Ferrari’s most visceral modern classics, with the history and care to match.
Born from Ferrari’s Challenge racing programme, the Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale was built to focus on the car's most engaging elements, bringing together a naturally aspirated 3.6-litre V-8, 419 horsepower, extensive weight savings, and a sharper, more focused driving experience. The result is a Ferrari that feels immediate, visceral, and unapologetically connected to its competition roots.
Delivered new in Switzerland in July 2004, this example has since benefited from years of attentive ownership. Its original Ferrari warranty and service booklet accompany a documented maintenance history, with recent work including a comprehensive timing belt service and cooling system refresh in May 2026. Recognised with a Platinum Award at Concorso Italiano UAE in 2025, it shows 37,283 kilometres.
In an era of increasingly sophisticated performance cars, the Challenge Stradale offers something that cannot be measured in horsepower alone: the unmistakable sensation of being completely immersed in the drive.
This 2004 example is set to be offered at The Driven By Design Auction in Abu Dhabi on 9 December 2026. Register to bid via the link in bio.
