This 2000 Ferrari 360 Challenge race car was reportedly ordered through Scottsdale Ferrari and campaigned in the 2001 Ferrari North America Challange Series. The car was refurbished by R3 Motorsports of Van Nuys, California, in 2004, and the 3.6-liter V8 was enlarged to 4.0 liters in 2008. The car was further modified in 2012 with the installation of a Hewland seven-speed sequential transaxle with a no-lift shift kit, an Öhlins tuned suspension, an adjustable brake bias system, a Michelotto Automobili GT-style body kit, Lexan windows, and BBS three-piece wheels. A timing belt service was performed by the selling dealer in preparation for the sale. This 360 race car is now offered in California with service records and a bill of sale.

The body is finished in white and features a rear grille, an R3 Motorsports carbon fiber rear wing, and covered headlights. A Michelotto Automobili body kit was installed during previous ownership and features a 360 GT-style hood, front splitter, fenders, doors, mirrors, and bumpers. Grand-Am Road Racing-spec side crash bars are fitted along with Lexan windows.

The 18″ BBS three-piece wheels feature 360 GT centerlock hubs and are mounted with Pirelli tires sized 265/645 up front and 305/680 out back. An Öhlins tuned suspension was installed by R3 Motorsports in 2012 as was a 50mm adjustable front sway bar, an electronic power steering system, and an adjustable brake bias system.

An integrated roll cage came standard on the 360 Challenge, and a single red OMP racing seat is fitted with a Sabelt multi-point harness. Additional features include carbon fiber door panels, a fire-suppression system, and a battery housed in the passenger-side footwell.

The dashboard and three-spoke steering wheel are trimmed in Alcantara, and a digital gauge display is fitted. The car has been run for less than 10 hours since 2012 according to the selling dealer, and total mileage is unknown.

The 3.6-liter F131B V8 was enlarged to 4.0 liters by R3 Motorsports in 2008. A stand-alone engine management system has been added, and dual 360 GT radiators are fitted up front. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Hewland seven-speed sequential transaxle with a no-lift shift kit. A tuned exhaust system was fitted in 2008, and a timing belt service performed by the selling dealer was completed in December 2020.
