This 1995 Ferrari F355 is one of 108 Challenge models produced and was first sold by Wide World of Cars in Spring Valley, New York. The car was reportedly campaigned in the late 1990s and early 2000s and driven at COTA, Mont Tremblant, and Road America before being listed on BaT in March 2018. It was later sold on BaT in June 2020 and again in April 2024, when it was acquired by the current owner. Power comes from a 3.5-liter quad-cam V8 that is paired with a six-speed manual gearbox. The car is finished in red and equipped with Cobra seats and OMP harnesses as well as a fire suppression system, a roll cage, a MOMO steering wheel, AutoMeter instrumentation, a fixed rear wing, and 18″ Speedline wheels. Previously listed on BaT in October 2024, this F355 Challenge is now offered at no reserve on dealer consignment in Florida with an accident-free Carfax report and a clean Colorado title in the name of the owner’s company.
The Challenge featured a rear wing and a black mesh rear grille as well as solid suspension bushings and competition springs. The car was finished from the factory in Rosso Corsa and was repainted in 2008. The front end was repainted under previous ownership, and street lighting has been added.
Five-spoke 18″ Speedline wheels are finished in black and mounted with 225/40 front and 265/40 rear Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires. Braking is handled by Brembo calipers paired with 14″ slotted rotors, and H&R springs have been installed.
The cockpit houses Cobra Imola Pro-Fit racing seats and OMP harnesses that were fitted in 2014. Further equipment includes a roll cage, a fire suppression system, engine and battery cut-off switches, and an aluminum center tunnel with a gated shifter.
A quick-release Momo steering wheel frames AutoMeter instruments including a rotated tachometer with a shift light and readouts for oil pressure and coolant temperature. Oil temperature and fuel gauges are mounted in the aluminum center console along with a counter showing approximately 269 engine hours. Total mileage is unknown.
The 3.5-liter dry-sump V8 features a Bosch Motronic ignition system, five valves per cylinder, and dual overhead camshafts. A Tec3r engine management system was installed in 2008, engine rebuilds were performed in November 2008 and March 2014, and the V-belt and alternator were replaced in 2015. Results of a compression test performed in preparation for the sale can be viewed in the image gallery below.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transaxle. The clutch was replaced in 2014, and the mufflers and brackets were coated with Jet-Hot in 2015. A replacement CV boot was installed in 2018.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and at least one open recall.
