- Koenig Special added a pair of turbochargers and upgraded the V8’s pistons.
- In 2024, the car was repainted in Viola Hong Kong with a bright purple interior.
- The car includes several aero upgrades, including a large fixed rear wing.
It’s not a Challenge Stradale, and it never wanted to be. This is a Ferrari 360 Modena that took a detour through Koenig Special in 2003 and came out the other side with twin turbos, a carbon roof scoop, and bodywork that announces itself from two blocks away. It’s for sale in Italy now, a rolling reminder of when tuners built first and asked questions later.
The 360 Modena was originally delivered in Germany and sent to Koenig Special in 2003. The famous tuning house thrived throughout the 1980s and 1990s, building some genuinely unhinged creations, including this one. The 3.6-liter V8 is now twin-turbocharged, with upgraded pistons and dual intercoolers. The 360 has been driven roughly 48,000 km or 30,000 miles.

As part of the car’s transformation, it also received a large carbon fiber roof scoop and special bodywork with a revised front fascia, splitter, and larger air intakes. Found at the rear is a fixed wing, a tweaked bumper, and a diffuser big enough to swallow up a medium-sized dog.

Some even more dramatic changes arrived recently. In 2024, Scuderia Baldini & Co repainted the car in Viola Hong Kong, a modern Ferrari shade also offered on models such as the SF90 Stradale and 488 Pista. It now rides on gold 19-inch BBS wheels, features upgraded Brembo brakes with carbon-ceramic discs, and was recently serviced with a new timing chain.
As hard as it may be to believe, the interior is even crazier than the exterior. It was completely retrimmed in bright purple Alcantara in 2024, extending across the seats, door panels, dashboard, steering wheel, pillars, and headliner. Sitting alongside the purple upholstery are gold-painted accents, including the transmission tunnel and gauge cluster.
Bring a Trailer will soon auction the car, so anyone interested in getting behind the wheel may want to move quickly. Check out the listing over here.
