Ferrari F355 Challenge with street license in Sweden 1996
General description :
Exterior: The Ferrari F355 Challenge had a repaint in 2015 and still looks amazing today. After repainting, the original Challenge sticker kit was fitted. As far back as we can trace this Ferrari, there have been no accidents and all panels are original and fit very nicely on the car.
Interior: When you open the door, you can tell right away that this is not a regular Ferrari F355. Climb in over the roll cage and have a seat in the bucket seat. What is different in this F355 Challenge from others is that it also has a passenger seat. This was taken from a normal F355. Also, you have a handbrake lever. And the reason for these details is that this Ferrari F355 Challenge is also registered in Sweden to drive legally on the road. Other than that, it looks very normal for a F355 Challenge on the inside. There is a main power switch, and the panels are a bit sticky. A well-known problem for the model.
Ferrari F355 Challenge track day and race car for sale
Engine: There were 108 original F355 Challenge cars produced, and this is one of them. They were built for the purpose to be raced on the tracks. This car started in the French Ferrari series for a few years before it made its way to Scandinavia. During the time in France on the track, the original engine/box was replaced for reasons we do not know today.
This is something that is normal in the race world. As a seller we are well aware of the fact that the value of the car would be much higher with the original engine. However, it is not there anymore, and the F355 engine in the car is performing very well. And the same goes for the gearbox that goes easily into all gears. This F355 Challenge has not been used so much over the last 4-5 years and it is time for service before going back on the track.
History: As mentioned above, this F355 Challenge was sold new in France and raced there before it came to Scandinavia. It has been now with the same owner since 2004. This owner has been keeping maintenance and race records. As well, engine oil has been changed after every race. Other maintenance according to schedule or need. In terms of documentation, it comes with COC, original sales invoice, a list of race events in chronological order. There is also a spare parts package that is optional for this car. This spare parts package will not be sold separate before the F355 Challenge is sold. The spare parts package has a value of approximately 30,000€

About Ferrari
The first Ferrari road car was the 125 S introduced in 1947 and powered by a 1.5 L V12 engine, right? Well it's not quite that simple, Ferrari did in fact produce e Tipo 815, in 1940. Tipo 815 was designed by ex-Alfa Romeo engineers Alberto Massimino and Vittorio Bellentani and by Enrico Nardi under Enzo's company but legal issues with the former associate Alfa Romeo prevented Ferrari from launching the Ferrari marque at that point.
Enzo did produce a series of fine road cars in the 50's and 60's but they were merely to finance his true passion racing, wheather GT/Sports car or Grand Prix. The 50's saw the birth of Ferrari's most memorable cars, 250 GTB (tour de France) 250 Testa Rossa, 250 GT swb just to name a few.
Under the surface tension was growing though. In November 1961 long-time sales manager Girolamo Gardini made an ultimatum to Enzo: if tensions continued, he would leave the company. As a result, Gardini was ousted, as well as Scuderia Ferrari manager Romolo Tavoni, chief engineer Carlo Chiti, experimental sports car development chief Giotto Bizzarrini, and a number of others who stood by them.
Without Chiti and Bizzarrini the development of what was to become the most quintessential Ferrari and today the world's most expensive car, 250 GTO, was at a pivoting point. 250 GTO project was saved by a young engineer Mauro Forghieri and long-time racing bodyman Sergio Scaglietti who stepped in and took over the program with known results.
In addition to 250 GTO, Ferrari launced such master pieces as 250 LM, 250P, 275 GTB, 365 GTB/4 "Daytona" during the the 60's
By the late 60's Ferrari's prototypes' success came to a sudden halt by a new competitor, GT40. Ford turned to Lola to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after Enzo had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that gave Ferrari some heavy hits in Le Mans 24 to come.
By the end of the 60's FIAT purchased 50% of the company, starting a development that has led to a new mass-produced era of Ferraris.
