The Challenge Stradale derives from the latest interpretation of the pure Ferrari tradition of making road cars directly derived from the race cars. With the Challenge Stradale the racing expertise comes from the Ferrari Challenge International Championships and the FIA GT races, where the 360 Challenge and 360 GT models are top protagonists, both in Europe and in the United States.
The cars strong racing bloodline is plain to see in the considerable weight reduction it boasts, with an all-aluminium chassis and body, carbon discs and an F1-style gearbox. Other weight-saving measures included a strictly racing kit and significant work on the aerodynamics, set-up and braking.
The Ferrari Challenge Stradales 3,586 cc V8 engine boasts five valves per cylinder and titanium rods. It punches out a massive 425 bhp too, 25 more than the 360 Modena and the Spider. The colours of the two cars unveiled at Geneva are the new Rosso Scuderia used for the Formula 1 single--seater with paintwork inspired by the client racing cars of the past, and Blue Tour de France which embodies not only of the new models racing heart but also its elegance.
