The F430 Challenge is a non-road legal variant of the road-going Ferrari F430, it has been extensively modified by Ferrari to boost its on circuit performance with extensive weight reduction and suspension changes. Just like in previous Ferrari Challenge cars the engine has largely remained the same as on the production road cars except for some enhanced breathing by means of a racing exhaust system and some engine management tweaks and fine blueprinting. Furthermore, the body styling has received very few styling changes with the Formula One inspired single central nut (slick shod) BBS wheels hiding enormous carbon brakes.
Production was limited to just 142 cars over the 2007 to 2010 production period. It is estimated that more than half of these race cars have been written off during the various Ferrari Challenge series around the world. This means that approximately 50 (or less) would be in existence today.
The engine is the same 90° 4.3-litre V8 as in the standard F430. The output remains the same at 483 hp (360 kW), as well as the torque at 343 lb⋅ft (465 N⋅m). The engine is equipped with DOHC and contains 4 valves per cylinder. The engine is, and always has been, naturally-aspirated.
