Offering gentlemen drivers the opportunity to race with cars derived from the production series has always been a priority for Ferrari. After the 348 Berlinetta and the F355, it’s the 360 Modena Challenge’s turn to shine on the most prestigious circuits. With its 3,586 cc V8 engine, it produces the same power as the road car (almost 400 hp at 8,500 rpm) but includes some modifications designed to improve its performance on track.
This 360 Modena Challenge roamed most of the Italian circuits until the mid-2000s with the “Di Risio competizione” team for the Italian Challenge, as stated in its historical technical passport (Passporto tecnico CSAI). This Modena has notably raced on the most beautiful Italian circuits (Monza, Imola, Misano, Mugello, etc.), sometimes driven by well-known drivers such as the Maccario family, high-level gentlemen drivers from the Alessandria region. It was then sold to the famous Scuderia Giudici who leveraged it in Open GT. At that time, aerodynamic developments were carried out on the car, which are still included to date. Its Spanish racing passport specifies racing events in which this car participated in 2006 (Monza, Magny-Cours, Jarama…).
In 2011, the car had an extensive diagnosis at Rosso Corsa, the Ferrari distributor in Milan. It was then sold to an enthusiast in the south of France who wanted to use it for track days. The latter ended up not using it and in 2012, he sold the Modena to its current owner. Residing next to Dijon, this enthusiastic gentleman driver uses his car only once or twice a year on the Dijon-Prenois circuit! The car was serviced in 2019: timing belts were changed and the dashboard cover was refurbished. The car has not been used since then and is presented in used condition, showing traces of its awesome racing history. Fitted with certain aerodynamic innovations from the time it raced in Open GT, this Modena Challenge is sold with four additional BBS rims. It’s a unique opportunity to drive in a high-performance Ferrari racing car, still at a very reasonable running cost.
