1995 Ferrari F355 Challenge

Ferrari introduced a race-ready F355 Challenge model in 1995 for use specifically in the Ferrari Challenge race series. The Ferrari F355 Challenge model was developed by starting with a standard Ferrari F355 Berlinetta and modifying it with a US$30,000 factory-to-dealer supplied kit.

The initial 1995 cars came with factory fitted cage mounts and without carpets. Each year, the cars arrived with more and more factory fitted race parts, culminating in 1998 with full-evolution cars which were supplied as virtually complete race cars except for some parts such as the rear wing, which still needed to be fitted by the dealer.

The kit initially was more substantial than the previous model 348 Challenge and the engine, gearbox, and shock-absorbers were sealed with special tags to prevent unauthorised modifications. The kit included the following components/modifications

• Roll-cage
• Racing bucket seats
• Safety harnesses
• Fire extinguisher
• Engine cut-off switch
• Manual radiator fan control and upgraded fans
• Competition steering wheel
• Lightweight exhaust
• Rear wing
• Competition clutch
• Upgraded 14-inch Brembo brakes (carried over from the F40)
• 18-inch Speedline magnesium wheels
• Pirelli racing slicks
• Solid suspension bushings and competition springs
• Front and Rear brake cooling ducts
• Challenge black perforated rear grille (halfway through the 1995 season to get extra air through the engine-bay)
• Lightened front bumper
• Front and rear tow hooks
