A standout offering at Mecum’s Kissimmee Auction is a remarkably preserved Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale finished in non-standard shade of green, a color rarely associated with one of Ferrari’s most focused road cars. Set to cross the block in January, this example immediately commands attention not just for its specification, but for its extraordinary state of preservation.

Showing just 375 miles from new, the car represents an almost time-capsule example of Ferrari’s early-2000s track-inspired philosophy. The Challenge Stradale was conceived as the most extreme evolution of the 360 Modena, shedding weight through extensive use of carbon fiber, reduced sound insulation, and race-derived hardware. The result was a sharper, louder, and far more visceral machine than the standard 360, one that prioritized driver engagement above all else.

Power comes from Ferrari’s naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V8, producing approximately 425 horsepower and paired exclusively with the F1 electro-hydraulic transmission. Carbon-ceramic brakes, stiffer suspension tuning, and aerodynamic enhancements further reinforced the car’s dual identity as a road-legal Ferrari with genuine circuit capability. In period, it stood as one of the most uncompromising street cars Ferrari had ever offered.

What elevates this particular example beyond specification alone is its auction format. Offered at no reserve, the car will sell regardless of price, introducing an element of unpredictability rarely seen with such low-mileage, collector-grade Ferraris. For buyers, that creates a rare opportunity to acquire a blue-chip modern Ferrari without the typical private-sale premium or protracted negotiation.

As the market continues to reassess analog-era performance cars, the 360 Challenge Stradale has emerged as one of the most desirable Ferraris of its generation. Combining rarity, motorsport DNA, and raw character, this green Kissimmee example stands poised to become one of the most closely watched lots of the sale—and a compelling reminder of when Ferrari prioritized feel and feedback over filters and screens.
