The 360 Modena Challenge is the track-honed version of the 360 Modena for the Ferrari Challenge one-make series and was available only with the electrohydraulically operated automated manual transmission. Brembo supplied gold brake calipers and larger, two-piece floating discs, Bosch the race-oriented ABS software, and the exhaust system was significantly lightened. Ferrari quoted an acceleration time of 3.9 seconds, 0.6 seconds quicker than the standard 360 Modena F1. Unlike the earlier F355 cars with dealer conversion kits, the car was built directly at the factory. Fewer than 200 units were sold as pure racing cars, on the condition that they be used in the Challenge series.

From conversion kit to factory racer
In the earlier Challenge series, an F355 road car was fitted with a dealer conversion kit. By contrast, the 360 Challenge was built entirely at the factory as a dedicated race car. Buyers were required to race it in the Ferrari Challenge series, and fewer than 200 units were sold. Thanks to additional aerodynamic elements, Ferrari stated it could brake and corner considerably faster than the road car.
Interior and chassis
The cockpit was stripped down to the bare essentials: a single carbon racing seat with FIA harnesses, along with a roll cage and a fire extinguishing system. The instrument cluster displayed crucial engine data on a monochrome LCD. The road car's adaptive suspension gave way to adjustable racing dampers, joined by larger brakes with additional cooling ducts and gold Brembo calipers.
Power and weight
Officially, Ferrari stated 416 PS at 8500/min, with the top speed limited. Curb weight stood at 1250 kg, with a dry weight of 1169 kg. Although engine output was stated similarly to the road car, the Challenge could easily outperform it thanks to substantially lower weight and superior handling.
