colour matched headlamp pods, at last (looks more asthetically pleasing to me). I Don't go for that stripe though

Why does it look like the perspex glass is only on the drivers side ?

The thing I would really like is the brake upgrade. Hope it will retrofit to a regular 360!

This is the Challange Stradale (March intro), I think it gives some hints as to the upcoming 420. Note, how there seems to be center grill opening, which looks to be "photo shopped out".

Raised rear lip.
Does this mean the car requires more downforce because of less weight + more power

Dudes - Luigi gave me the specs - he know them!(because he's ordered one). Luigi where are you hiding my friend?

Here they are:
100kg lighter (which according to some figure makes it just 30kg heavier than the GT3R Porsche 911 Racer!!!!!!!!)
- Quoted 420hp - (actual 430-435hp not in keeping with Ferraris tradition of overquoting!)
- adjustable suspension
- carbo-ceramic brakes
- STRIPPED interior
- new bodywork + perspex glass (you can see)
- race seats/harnesses/instruments
- in STOCK guise sound is comparable to Tubi!
- lowered by 1.5cm...

Just read some more info on UK'S Ferrari Owner's Club website(www.ferrariownersclub.co.uk/happenings/2003/january/stradale.asp).

Lighter, bigger brakes, carbon fiber doors, and estimated about 25% more money over the standard 360. Didn't say anything about gains in HP though.

Went to www.ferrari.com to possibly see more pictures of this car- this is the message i got: Il servizio � momentaneamente sospeso per manutenzione.
Ci scusiamo per l'inconveniente.
The service is temporarily unavailable.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

i agree with everyone else, i don't like the stripe... That's not gonna be on every model, is it...?

I wonder how difficult/expensive it would be to retrofit the bumper and rear hatch?

The stripe is horrible....as are the side mirrors, but the front nose is a considerable improvement on the regular 360, wheels look great, and I like the raised rear lip
