In 1995, Ferrari introduced a race-ready F355 Challenge model 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 some parts such as the rear wing, which still needed to be fitted by the dealer.

The kit initially was more substantial than the 348 Challenge and the engine, gearbox, and shock-absorbers were sealed with special tags to prevent unauthorized 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" Brembo brakes (carried over from the F40)
18" 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
The F355 Challenge shares the same engine and physical dimensions as the standard F355 Berlinetta.
108 cars in total were produced, all of which were equipped with the 6-speed manual transmission.
Although some sources indicate that over 300 cars were subject to the Challenge conversion, yet this claim remains unproven.
There were 18 RHD cars imported by Ferrari UK and modified by MHT.
A further 10 were sold to the rest of the RHD markets.
Making the total number to only 28 RHD models.
These RHD models become extremely rare and valuable.
Some of these rare cars are located in Indonesia, Australia, Japan and only one known example in South Africa.
Each F355 Challenge has an emblem on the rear that specifically denotes the "F355 Challenge."
