The history of Ferrari begins with race cars that could serve double duty on the road. Through the 1950s and well into the 1960s, many of Ferrari’s competition cars, could be driven to an event, raced flat out, and then driven home when the day was over. Although a few limited edition trackfocused models had been produced in the 1980s and 1990s, the 360 Challenge Stradale of 2003 was in many ways a return to form for Ferrari. Based on the beloved midengine 360 Modena, the Challenge Stradale could weigh nearly 240 lbs less than the standard Modena and also received a host of suspension, engine, and braking modifications. Upon its release, Ferrari’s claim was that the Challenge Stradale was designed for “20% track driving and 80% road use” which clearly aimed it squarely at one of Porsche’s most popular new models the GT3.

With only around 1,300 Challenge Stradales built between 2003 and 2004, it is no surprise that prices have been trending upward in recent years and will likely continue. Standing at the middle ground between the older analog cars and the more modern vehicles with multilevel traction and stability systems behind the wheel of the 360 Challenge Stradale, you are truly in control.
