A purpose-built race car, stripped to its core, reinforced with a full roll cage, and powered by a high-revving V8 engineered for uncompromising performance on the track! And as an added bonus, this one comes with an additional crated Ferrari V8 and racing parts!
Overview
SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this 2001 Ferrari 360 Challenge, which is believed to be one of 200 produced. Finished in Rosso Corsa over a stripped racing cabin with OMP carbon fiber seats, according to the seller, this is one of the few factory-built racers from the period Ferrari Challenge series.
Not to be confused with the Stradale road cars, this 360 Challenge was purpose-built by Ferrari for its privateer clients to race in the one-make Challenge worldwide series. Factory modifications ranged from a dedicated fuel cell and ducted brakes to 250 pounds of deleted content, stiffer engine mounts, and a racing clutch.
Capable of more than 1.50 g of lateral acceleration thanks to some 400 pounds of downforce, the 360 Challenge is a hardcore track car. Today’s example put all that prowess to work, racing until 2005, before a full restoration and residence at a private collection in Washington State.
The current owner purchased the car from this collection in 2021. After being driven 2 laps around Lime Rock Park in Connecticut to confirm all systems operated properly, this 360 Challenge was placed back into a private collection and has not been raced since.

Summary
Originally finished in Argento Nürburgring, this 2001 Ferrari 360 Challenge currently shines in the classic shade of Rosso Corsa. It boasts a full complement of exterior decals, has all the coveted GT upgrades, and is currently riding on a new set of Pirelli racing slicks.
Capable of going 0-60 in less than 4 seconds and on to a top speed of more than 180 mph, these Ferrari racers are plenty quick. But it is perhaps the wail of the mid-mounted naturally aspirated V8 at its 8,500 rpm redline that is the most tantalizing aspect of this rare beast.
A surefire highlight of any serious Ferrari enthusiast’s collection, this carefully maintained 360 Challenge also offers the promise of wicked track-day performance for those willing to cut it loose.
