Ferrari F355 GT1 - Challenge?

Picture taken at the Ferrari Museum in Maranallo.
Look at the wheels, the paddles inside. Discribed is the car as a Ferrari 355 Challenge – so what is it?
The Stickers are from the US Challenge.

What you think?

Would be interesting to see what the VIN says ????????
Challenge or just an upgraded Berlinetta with challenge parts and aftermarket parts (fronthood).
Curious that Ferrari places such an not original car in their museum, I am speechless............
Dashboard is in alcantara not original leather..........

Sorry, did not saw the VIN. I think its an upgrade Challenge car.

A 355 Challenge with Paddles? Never seen.

Saw this car in Maranello last week, too. One guy from the museum (who wasn't that bright though...) said it started life as a standard road car and was only converted for the museum.
Centrelock wheels, Brembo brakes, one off exhaust and nicely made carbon door panels inside. Too much effort in my eyes for just a museum "fake". Must have some kind of history, for sure.

I remember someone saying it was raced by the son of Classic Coach Racing

Hello Don, I think its one of the Hilfiger cars, they races in the US

So what is it?

Could this be? Thanks to Robb for this. Where is the 355 Competizione?

So the car at the Museum is the original 355 Competizione?

Robb: Yes. Still owned by the factory.

They dressed it up with the Tommy Hillfiger #73 livery as a challenge car look-alike in the Galleria Ferrari in Maranello last spring. But it had paddles and center lock wheels so it was obvious it was the Competizione.
