Registration number: 32-XG-TS

There are Ferraris made for the boulevard, and there are Ferraris born for the track. This 1995 F355 Challenge is unmistakably one of the latter. A thoroughbred racer, built with a single purpose in mind: competition. Not for show, but for pure driving. Today, it stands as one of the most coveted versions of the entire F355 lineup.

This particular F355 Challenge has been in long-term private ownership for over twenty years and has never been offered on the open market. Only two owners have ever held the keys to this rare machine. It was maintained by a respected Ferrari specialist in the Netherlands and comes with an extensive file of documentation, service records, and photographs.

*Original and collector-grade condition*
What sets this F355 Challenge apart is its outstanding preservation. The bodywork presents exceptionally well, with clean paintwork and all the correct details in place. The interior remains just as it was delivered for competition use—focused and purposeful, with only minimal signs of use. No shortcuts, no aftermarket changes. This is a true Challenge car, just as you hope to find one.

*From road car to full-blooded racer*
The Ferrari Challenge series gave road car owners a chance to compete with factory support on some of the world’s most iconic circuits. In 1995, the F355 Challenge succeeded the successful 348 Challenge, raising the bar even further. Under the hood sits a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V8 delivering 380 horsepower, mated to a gated manual transmission. The result is pure mechanical feedback and a soundtrack that resonates deep in your chest. The sound alone is unforgettable.

Early F355 Challenge cars were prepared by official Ferrari dealers using a factory-supplied kit. This included racing bucket seats, a roll cage, upgraded Brembo brakes, a lightweight exhaust, and various other performance modifications. Each example was individually built by dealers, giving every early Challenge car its own character and story.

*A milestone in Ferrari Motorsport history*
Over time, the Challenge series evolved into factory-built race cars, but the first generation remains the most raw and unfiltered. This is as authentic as it gets. These are the cars that started it all—gritty, engaging, and pure.

*What makes this F355 Challenge so special*
• Only two owners since new
• Over 20 years in a private collection, never previously offered to the public
• Completely original condition, body and interior unmodified
• Equipped with the official factory Challenge kit, as correct for early models

*For the purist who knows what to look for*
Finding an original, early-built F355 Challenge in this condition, with such clear provenance, is exceptionally rare. This is not a showpiece made to sit behind glass. It is a Ferrari with a story and the soul of a true race car.
