Description[]

The Ferrari F355 Challenge is a grand touring race car introduced by Ferrari in 1995 for use in the Ferrari Challenge series, Ferrari's one-make racing series. Designed by Maurizio Corbi, the F355 Challenge was developed starting with a standard F355 and using a USD $30,000 dealer-supplied kit to modify it to racing specifications; over the years more factory-supplied parts were added and by 1998 the F355 Challenges were supplied as virtually complete race cars minus a few parts. Powered by a 3.5L Ferrari F129 V8, the modifications done to the F355 Challenge were more significant than the 348 Challenge, the first of the Ferrari Challenge cars. The cars were retired after 2000 and replaced by the 360 Modena Challenge. 108 chassis were produced.

Of note is that the vehicle's spoiler was originally actually part of the window piece; this has since been changed to an opaque separate plastic piece.
