Our team at duPont REGISTRY Live presents this exquisite 2004 Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale, finished in Rosso Scuderia with a factory Italian tri-color racing stripe over a Rosso and Nero Alcantara interior. Showing approximately 17,465 miles, this example highlights Ferrari bringing its track-focused engineering into a road-legal package in the early 2000s. Equipped with carbon fiber interior elements, carbon-ceramic brakes, and full racing paint protection film, it remains a highly focused driver’s machine. Accompanied by original accessories and extensive documentation, this highly collectible Challenge Stradale represents one of Ferrari’s most celebrated lightweight V8-era performance cars. 

Introduced as the most extreme evolution of the 360 Modena, the 2004 Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale represents a road-going interpretation of Ferrari’s one-make racing program. In essence, it is a road version of the race car derived from the road car, a focused machine that was conceived to bring drivers closer to Ferrari’s Formula 1 and Challenge racing efforts. With approximately 17,465 miles, this example captures that philosophy in a highly desirable specification.

At its core sits a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V8 (F131) that puts out 425 horsepower, paired with a 6-speed F1 automated manual transmission that delivers faster, more aggressive shifts than the standard 360 and a truly immersive soundtrack. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential, while revised software and reduced weight sharpen responsiveness. The result is a 0–60 mph time of approximately four seconds, noticeably quicker than the standard 360 Modena.

Weight reduction played a central role in the Challenge Stradale’s development, with weight savings adding up to 240 pounds less when compared to the standard 360. Ferrari removed traditional carpeting, introduced lightweight carbon fiber door panels, and utilized materials inspired by its Formula 1 program, including carbon-ceramic brakes and titanium hardware. A reworked floor design with aerodynamic channels further improves airflow beneath the car.

Originally designed by Frank Stephenson, aerodynamic revisions on the 360 Challenge Stradale extend to the exterior, with a subtly longer front profile, modified side sills, a raised rear stance, and a more pronounced rear section, all contributing to improved stability at speed. Finished in Rosso Scuderia with the iconic Italian tri-color racing stripe, this particular example highlights the model’s motorsport intent, further enhanced by carbon fiber mirrors and rear decklid, lightweight 19-inch wheels, and a full racing paint protection film.

Inside, the cabin is stripped back and driver-focused. Carbon fiber and Alcantara dominate the interior, with lightweight bucket seats, exposed carbon panels, and a two-tone steering wheel with Manettino control. A passenger-mounted fire extinguisher reinforces its track-ready character, while the inclusion of air conditioning and the original Ferrari radio maintains a degree of usability. In terms of exclusivity, of the 1,288 units produced worldwide, it is believed that anywhere between 350 and 400 examples were delivered to the United States.

The Challenge Stradale delivers a driving experience defined by immediacy, balance, and sound. Its high-revving V8 produces a raw, race-inspired note that encourages drivers to explore the upper limits of the tach. Accompanied by two keys, an immobilizer fob, original owner’s manual, Ferrari tool kit, electronic battery charger, and Ferrari seat covers, this example represents one of the most complete and engaging expressions of Ferrari’s early-2000s performance philosophy.
