Developed from the Ferrari 348 GTB, the 348 Challenge could lay claim to being the model it all began with. The successful Ferrari Challenge came into being with the 348 in 1993, but the F355 Challenge took it to another level in 1995. It must be said, everything about it was more accomplished and more successful, from both a stylistic and a technical point of view. A huge commercial success, the F355 is the model some consider the last in the line of the 308, 328 and 348, which would come to an end with the introduction of the 360 Modena.

But the exhaust system was lighter, a competition-type clutch replaced the original item and 14-inch F40-type Brembo brakes were fitted, with cooling ducts at the front and rear.

The aerodynamics were improved by the simple addition of a prominent rear wing f
