1999 Ferrari 360 Modena Challenge
Rare factory-built race car

Sold for £51,750

(including buyers premium)


Lot details

Registration No: N/A
Chassis No: ZFFYR51B000119602
MOT: N/A

  • 1 of only 180 officially built by Ferrari for racing
  • Formerly part of a private collection of race cars
  • Ideal for many selected and prestigious historic racing events, including the newly launching for 2023 Bell Sport Challenge
  • One of the most focused and enjoyable driving experiences to have been offered by the Italian marque

Unlike their preceding 348 and 355 Challenge models, Ferrari’s 360 Challenge variant was designated for competition use only from the outset. Whilst the previous two models had relied upon individual Ferrari main dealers upgrading existing road-legal cars by means of a factory-supplied competition pack, the 360 Challenge was built in Maranello as a race car. Powered by a substantially standard version of the road car’s 410 horsepower 3.6-litre V8 engine, the 360 Challenge tipped the scales over its road-going siblings, at almost 200 kilograms less than standard, resulting in a significantly improved power-to-weight ratio. Much of this was achieved by the removal of heavy interior trim items, whilst corresponding race-inspired improvements included the fitment of competition specification Brembo disc brakes, adjustable dampers, Bosch-controlled ABS, a racing exhaust system, and an LCD dash display. Safety enhancements included a plumbed-in automatic fire extinguisher system and an FIA-approved safety fuel cell equipped with twin fillers.

Chassis number ZFFYR51B000119602 is one of just 180 360 Modena Challenge cars manufactured for racing by Ferrari. Finished in Black with a Grey stripe down each side and a White roof. Previously residing in a private collection of race cars for some ten years, the 360 was purchased by the vendor and recommissioned including attention to the gearbox and an engine refresh. Accompanied by two sets of wheels and tyres, one with wets and one with slicks, these Ferraris now represent unbelievable value, and they are potentially eligible for many events including the GT Cup, Brit Car Endurance Championship, Ferrari Club Racing Series, and the AMOC Racing Series Challenge, as well as the newly launching for 2023, Bell Sport Challenge. Even if the new owner is simply looking for a very competent track day car, either way, in the right hands this 360 Modena Challenge could be extremely competitive.
