Could someone briefly describe what the features/options are on the 360 Stradale that set it apart from the 360? I have not had good luck using the search feature finding this information. Thank you, Drew Altemara
I think one major difference, besides the horsepower and carbon fiber interior, is the launch control function that is not available on the regular US spec. modenas. Same thing for the F430. The euro specs have the launch control, but US models do not. MESSAGE for FERRARI: Put launch control on US models as well!!!!
Yeah, it takes a couple of tries sometimes to get the search here to find what you want, but if you try a bit, it often works out. I used: "360 stradale spec differences" and got the following: http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showpost.php?p=135224215&postcount=4 http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=75792 http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9245
From the Ferrari Book: 0-62 mph in 4.1 seconds. Top speed 186 mph, 6.16 lbs per horsepower, 11.2 compression 118.5 bhp/litre, highest power output ever from aspirated engine, 425 HP 275 torque @ 4750 2602 lb dry weight, 2822 Kerb weight, wheelbase 102.3 in. Fuel 25.1 gal (includes 5 gal reserve) 50% more down force that 360 account diffusers, rear nolder, front/rear bumpers & sill covers Ground effect aerodynamic sophistication of a F1 car Racing style F1 gearbox 166, 250 GT, GTO, F40, CS=exclusive exceptional cars, targeted to achieve performance w/all superfluous weight eliminated With CS, F returns to pure essentials of a racecar. Lightweight, responsive handling Ferrari focus with CS, is on performance & spirit of a race car. Goal: transfer modifications from 360GT & Challenge to CS Transferred: aerodynamics for greater down force for speed through corners, suspension, braking with Carbon Ceramic Material brakes, plus weight reduction Weight reduction: adapting every component of CS to racing practices (already alum body/frame 3.1 360 is aerodynamically efficient, but CS is lower & stiffer suspension improves aero CS achieves same download at 149 mph, that 360 achieves at 183 mph At 124 mph load increase of 88 lb, saving equiv of a wing CS at 183 mph=negative lift of 594 lb is 198 lb greater than 360 Even with increase in down force, CS has same Cd .335 as 360. Aero changes to CS: 1.Longer front nose= increase front down force + air evacuation from radiators by larger outlet Height of rear increase in relation to front for balance load 2.Aerodynamic analysis of underside of car= chg front air intakes and rear underbody 3. Rear end=dual rear underbody to increase down force. Longitudinal turning vanes from F1 4. Drag & still modifications= streamlines rear wheels, increase efficiency and car balance Aerodynamic Carbon fibre mirrors from 360 GT 19 Challenge wheels 3.2Weight Reduction=242 lb over the 360 Focus on 3 areas: materials, construction tech, and project optimization Alum construction=alum weighs 1/3 of steel Titanium: stud bolts (50% lower weight), damper springs (27% lower) Carbon Fibre: door panels, racing seat shells, filter casing covers + int & ext finishing elements Under body wt reduce 50% with CF Lexan engine bonnet, wt saving advantage, 55% lower density than glass of same thickness CF cooling grills CCM carbon ceramic discs: 16% wt reduction + alum brake casing Eng & Gearbox: 24 lb reduction or 4% of wt Unsprung masses: 11 lb reduction or 3% Bodywork: 207 lb or 12% 3.3 Interior: no carpets. Rev counter in center is main reference point. Yellow background with red pointer to enhance legibility and contrast. Entire instrument panel is carbon fibre. Steering wheel, rim squashed at top with central marker like racecar. Special F1 paddles. Right hand paddle extended for easier change up exiting a bend 3.4 Motor. 3,586 cc: titanium con rods, 5 valves per cyl, (3 intake-2 exhaust) 4 camshafts Special matched rotating eng pieces for improved efficiency. Carbon fibre air boxes Exhaust silencer is smaller & lighter, produces less back pressure 425 HP at 8500 rpm---Peak torque at 4,750 3.5 F1 Gearbox. CS developed around F1 electrohydraulic transmission, which drives gearbox & clutch. Change gears 150 ms in extra-fast mode (race) No auto gear change mode, only manual change up because it is a racecar. Sport mode: for low revs and comfort Race mode: designed for racing circuits, very fast change times Sport & Race built in control for damper setting and traction control Race mode with ASR off, drive can use LC borrowed from F1 cars Gear in mesh displayed same as F1 cars 3.6 Chassis components CS are based on 360 Modena. Radical changes were made to suspension & set-up. Front & rear springs are titanium and 20% stiffer than 360 Diameter of rear anti-roll bar is larger These changes increase resistance to rolling and pitching, for better driver-car interaction Damper settings are specific for CS, dampening effect increase 20% CS cg lower by 15 mm 3/5 of an inch, which exploits grip and lateral hold Pirelli P Zero Corsa-new extra low-profile tires adopted specifically for CS 225/35 & 285/35 19 Mounted with titanium stud bolts. 1.3 lateral G Innovative feature of tire is it adapts grip to the temperature conditions in which it is used. 3.7 Carbon-Ceramic Brakes: CC discs by Brembo. Repeated use w/o loss of performance Front: diameter 380 mm x 34 mm thick, 6-piston caliper Rear: diameter 350 mm x 34 mm thick, 4-piston caliper Alum brake casing. 16% weight saving compared to conventional brake discs. 15% better deceleration over 360 _____________________________________________________ Also, Ferrari made a special ball hat for the CS. file: stradaledetails.doc Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Mr. Barnhill, It's nicely written. Thank you for taking time to write all that. Will you make it to CC with your beautifull CS? I'll bring my yellow CS and hope to see you tomorrow. Sam K.
