Challenge Stradale Convertible?

I'm sure what you saw was a spider made to look like a CS.

 

Meridian built a 360 Spider with CS bits and pieces.

 

I know someone took a photo of it at the Haus a few weeks ago and posted it here. I am sure the pic will be posted here soon

 

Was it this one? It's a 360 Spider made to look like a Challenge Stradale Spider.

If Ferrari had actually made that car, I would buy one. That looks freaking awsome.

 

If Ferrari mades a CS Spider, I would buy it as well. My dream car! Tim

 

A CS spider defeats the idea of the CS in the first place. Looks cool though.

 

That is a cool looking spider. I wonder who did the stripe? Out of curiosity, would the convertible be any less stiff structuraly than the coupe?

 

Yes

 

What a goofy idea. Anyone that knows the first thing about Stradales would know that a Spider version would never exist.

It would actually be a bit embarrassing to own something like that. You'd constantly have to be explaining why you purchased Stradale parts for your regular Spider.

 

I made a thread about this a few months ago.

SEARCH!!!

 

that actually looks pretty cool

 

There actually was a 360CS spyder done by the factory.

While I was picking up some parts at Scottsdale Ferrari in '04, the service manager asked me if I wanted to see something kinda cool. He lead me over to a new, red 360 Spyder. From a distance it looked like a run of the mill spyder.........ho hum. But the closer we got, the more unique it looked....it had all the CS body bits, and when the door swung open it revealed the tell tale two tone Alcantara interior, intruments, etc.

When I asked what the deal was....I was told that a 'special' customer in San Diego ordered a CS and liked it so much, they honored a request to do a spyder.

There I go being a fund of useless information........

 

I wouldn't go so far as to gut the interior like a CS, but the wheels/stripe/seats/brakes would be an awesome upgrade for your run of the mill spyder.


Especially in TDF

 

It comes with an extra as well.

Absolutely a drop dead gorgeous car, looks much more exciting than a standard spider.

 

OMG is that a CS surfboard that is soooo cool i want that not (car and board)

and i think that car is very nice indeed

 

agreed...

 

No sir, useless information that was not. UseFUL information it was. Thank you for sharing that story. I find it very interesting, the little things that are seen and done within the automotive industry. Any more stories?? Feel free to PM them to me (as to not hijack the thread).

 

I want to hear them also!
