A 2004 Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale, the track-focused evolution of the 360 Modena, has been imported from Canada to the United States and is being offered for sale. The car is one of approximately 1,300 examples produced worldwide and shows 22,000 miles on its digital odometer, supported by service records and a clean Carfax report.
Finished in Rosso Scuderia over beige leather, the car carries painted tri-colour racing stripes, Scuderia Ferrari fender shields, a Challenge-style rear grille and quad exhaust outlets exiting through the rear fascia. It sits on 19-inch Challenge-style alloy wheels mounted with Michelin tyres, two of which were replaced in 2026. Xenon headlights are also fitted.
The Challenge Stradale was designed as a lighter, sharper version of the standard 360, and the weight-saving measures are visible throughout. Composite bumpers, a Lexan rear window with carbon-fibre supports and carbon-fibre mirror housings reduce mass, while the cabin uses carbon-fibre door panels and a carbon-fibre console, along with reduced sound deadening. The carbon-fibre sport seats are upholstered in beige leather, matching fabric covers the dashboard, and aluminium pedals are fitted. Despite the focus on weight, the car retains a CD stereo and air conditioning.
Its mid-mounted 3.6-litre Tipo F131 V8 features a flat-plane crankshaft, dry-sump lubrication, dual overhead camshafts and five valves per cylinder. Ferrari rated the Challenge Stradale at 425 horsepower, an increase over the standard 360 achieved through lighter, higher-compression pistons, a revised intake manifold and ported intake and exhaust runners. The engine is paired with an electrohydraulic six-speed F1 sequential transaxle and a limited-slip differential, sending power to the rear wheels. The timing belts, tensioner bearings and drive belts were replaced in 2024, along with the transaxle fluid, clutch sensor and clutch release bearing.
The chassis was specified with lower and stiffer titanium coil springs and a thicker rear anti-roll bar than the standard 360. Stopping power comes from red-finished Ferrari-branded calipers over cross-drilled and ventilated ceramic-composite rotors at each corner. Inside, the leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 220-mph speedometer and a tachometer with an 8,500-rpm redline, alongside a digital fuel level readout and gauges for oil pressure, oil temperature and coolant temperature. Paddle shifters for the F1 gearbox are mounted behind the steering wheel.
The car was acquired by the selling dealer in 2026, the same year it was imported to the US. The Carfax report lists a July 2026 US import bond release and is free of accidents or other reported damage. A clean Florida title accompanies the sale.
