The Ferrari F355 Challenge was introduced in 1995 for use specifically in the Ferrari Challenge race series. The model was developed using a standard Ferrari F355 Berlinetta and modifying it with a 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 cars which were supplied as virtually complete race cars. The F355 Challenge was succeeded by the Ferrari 360 Modena Challenge in 2000.
