Born from Ferrari’s Challenge racing programme, the 360 Challenge Stradale transformed the already accomplished 360 Modena into a lighter, sharper, and more visceral machine. Extensive weight-saving measures, carbon fibre components, revised suspension, and improved aerodynamics were complemented by a naturally aspirated 3.6-litre V-8 producing 419 horsepower at 8,500 rpm via a six-speed F1 transmission. Weighing approximately 1,180 kilograms dry, it can accelerate from 0–100 km/h in 4.1 seconds and achieves a top speed of 300 km/h. With its competition pedigree, unmistakable V-8 soundtrack, and increasingly appreciated analogue driving experience, the Challenge Stradale has rightly secured its place among the most compelling modern Ferraris.

Delivered new in Switzerland on 13 July 2004 through Automobile Nemeth AG, the 360 Challenge Stradale offered here retains its original Ferrari warranty and service booklet, documenting a consistent programme of servicing and multiple timing belt replacements between 2005 and 2014. Having covered just over 21,600 kilometres during its Swiss ownership, it subsequently arrived in Dubai, where it was acquired by the current owner in 2017.

Since then, the car has benefited from a comprehensive, carefully considered maintenance programme directed towards preventative mechanical work and cosmetic preservation. A substantial baseline mechanical refresh was undertaken by ARM Motors in 2017, followed by a fuel system refurbishment at official Ferrari dealer Al Tayer Motors in 2019. Subsequent works have addressed the F1 gearbox, ignition system, weather seals, window mechanisms, air conditioning, and other critical components, alongside regular servicing and detailing.

The quality of its care was recognised in February 2025, when the car received a Platinum Award at Concorso Italiano UAE. Significant recent investment includes a comprehensive timing belt service and cooling system refresh in May 2026, with the car reportedly receiving regular exercise since. The car displayed 37,283 kilometres at the time of cataloguing.

With well-documented provenance and substantial mechanical investment, this Challenge Stradale ticks all the boxes for the discerning collector seeking a carefully maintained example of one of Ferrari’s most celebrated modern performance cars.
