I didnt know all of this info from US site ...... Here is some info: The car is actually called a "Challenge Stradale". It is different enough from a 360 to not share any commonality in the name. The actual monocoque is different as the CS has a composite floorpan that very significantly increases torsional rigidity. The engine is "blueprinted" and has larger air intakes. (425 bhp vs 400 bhp) The exhaust system is COMPLETELY unique (all you have to do is hear one! The springs and wheel bolts are titanium The gearbox hydraulic system has a presuure of 30 bar vs 10 bar in the 360 There are only 2 gearchange settings on the CS, sport and Race - in race mode gearchanges take 150/1000ths sec 19" wheels (Specific to the CS) with CCM brakes Different front spoiler, side skirts, engine cover and rear diffuser that generate 50% more downforce than a 360 No soundproofing Extensive use of carbon in the interior and engine bay Different dashboard and interior 3.75 secs faster around Fiorano than a 360 with the same driver 1.2 secs (only) slower around Fiorano than an Enzo with the same driver 900 built. Production is finished. Subjectively: The greatest Ferrari of the modern era. As of last friday, only V8s on the production line in Maranello were 360 Spiders (all sold - no new orders taken) and F430s. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I love them. I want a red one with the Stripe. Fancy giving me a ride in your's Joe at Brands Hatch next weekend? A ride waiting for you in the Gt2's hot seat in exchange.
joe - what is your data source for 900 built? there are a bunch of conflicting rumors floating around, and it seem slike even people close to FSpA haven't been able to get firm numbers. doody.
AGREED!!!!!!!!! Esp after Kevin took me in his.....they are just the dogs bollox, I have to agree with the 'unique sound' - it just sounded like nothing else!
Great post Joe and a magic car m8,Ray has not stoped talking about the CS looks like he's selling the csl and his wife,V8'S you cant beat um, Dale.
Blummin' good post Joe. Enjoyed reading that. And quite suprised (but not really!) at some of the things there. Esp the enzo statement. Wow! I guess given the right driver, you could beat one easily. Lee
There are only 2 gearchange settings on the CS, sport and Race - in race mode gearchanges take 150/1000ths sec On my Testa gear changes take about 1/2 a minute lol
Doody My dealer has Emailed Fspa to get some exact data on this GREY area, Its not that difficult to produce I would think???
I meant to say brown trousers in my beetle (beetle, as you F nuts have decided to refer to my F beating uber wagon)
Only 31 RHD Stradale's to 2003, according to the guide to Ferrari Road Cars that Malcolm West kindly sent me.
