  • Only 50 km driven since major service
  • Successfully raced in the Italian Pirelli Challenge from 2001–2003

Unlike the previous ‘Challenge’ series cars that were created by adding factory retrofitted upgrades to a standard chassis, the Ferrari 360 Challenge represented the first factory-produced track-only special in the series. This distinction permitted Maranello’s engineers to be far more aggressive with the modifications that set it apart from its road-going sibling.

Foregoing all creature comforts brought considerable weight savings; out went the stereo, electric windows, airbags, air-conditioning and sound proofing, and in came a roll cage, FIA-approved harness, a lightened exhaust and a single carbon fibre bucket-seat. Alongside the radical diet, adjustable racing suspension replaced the active road car setup, whilst Brembo supplied larger two-piece floating brakes gripped by gold callipers, and Bosch tweaked the ABS control unit for racing use. The ensuing 250 kg weight saving and improved dynamics took the Challenge into a different realm to the Modena in pure performance terms.

Chassis no. 123327 was delivered new to its native Italy and purchased by Massimo Di Risio. As chronicled by an accompanying ACI passport, the car raced at a handful of events at circuits across Italy, including Monza, Mugello, Misano, Vallelunga and Imola. The car’s most successful season was in 2002 at the hands of Nicola Gianniberti who won the Italian Pirelli Challenge and finished 4th at the world finals at Misano.

It is fittingly painted in rosso and benefits from having only covered 50 km since a major service in 2016 and the current owner’s acquisition in 2017. That service consisted of a gearbox that has been overhauled with new seals, oil pump and bearings, and the engine has benefitted from a new timing belt, belt tensioner, oil filter, clutch and crankshaft seal.

A potent factory-built track special, ready to be enjoyed by its next owner.

Contrairement aux précédentes séries "Challenge" qui étaient créées en installant des améliorations d'usine sur un châssis standard, la Ferrari 360 Challenge représentait la première machine produite par l'usine exclusivement pour la course et destinée à cette série. Cette distinction a permis aux ingénieurs de Maranello d'être beaucoup plus agressifs dans les modifications qui la distinguaient de sa sœur destinée à un usage routier.

Le fait de laisser de côté tous les éléments de confort permettait une considérable économie de poids ; étaient ainsi éliminés le système stéréo, les vitres électriques, les airbags, le système de climatisation et les insonorisants alors que prenaient place un arceau-cage, des harnais homologués FIA, un échappement allégé et un siège baquet en fibre de carbone. En plus de ce régime drastique, la voiture recevait une suspension compétition réglable remplaçant le dispositif "actif" de la version route, Brembo fournissait deux disques flottant de grande dimension avec des étriers "or" et Bosch introduisait un ABS adapté à la course. Grâce au gain de 250 kg et aux améliorations techniques, la Challenge s'éloignait de la Modena pour entrer dans un monde de performances pures.

Le châssis n°123327 a été livré neuf en Italie et acheté par Massimo Di Risio. Comme cela apparaît dans le passeport ACI accompagnant la voiture, elle a pris part à plusieurs épreuves en Italie, notamment sur les circuits de Monza, Mugello, Misano, Vallelunga et Imola. Pour cette 360 Challenge, la meilleure saison a été celle de 2002 entre les mains de Nicola Gianniberti, qui a remporté le Pirelli Challenge italien et qui a terminé quatrième lors de la finale mondiale à Misano.

Cette voiture est comme il se doit de couleur rosso et n'a parcouru que 50 km depuis une grande révision en 2016 et depuis son acquisition en 2017 par son actuel propriétaire. Cette révision a concerné la boîte de vitesses (joints, pompe à huile et roulements neufs) et le moteur (courroie de distribution, tendeur de courroie, filtre à huile, embrayage et joint d'étanchéité de vilebrequin neufs).

Il ne reste plus au prochain propriétaire qu'à profiter pleinement de cette puissante machine de circuit produite par l'usine.
