Ferrari Challenge racing cars

The 296 Challenge is the most recent in a line of Ferraris used in the Ferrari Challenge series. The lineage is as follows:^[120][121]

• Ferrari 348 Challenge (1993–1995)
• Ferrari F355 Challenge (1995–2000)
• Ferrari 360 Modena Challenge (2000–2006)
• Ferrari F430 Challenge (2006–2011)
• Ferrari 458 Challenge (2011–2013)
• Ferrari 458 Challenge Evo (2014–2016)
• Ferrari 488 Challenge (2017–2020)
• Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo (2020–2023)
• Ferrari 296 Challenge (2024-Present)

All the cars used in the series are track only, although some 360 Challenges have been made road legal in Australia, with extensive modifications. However, due to new legislation, this is not possible anymore. The 360 Modena Challenge used in the series should not be confused with the 360 Challenge Stradale, which was a road-legal, track day oriented version of the 360, similar to the 430 Scuderia.
