The F430 Challenge is ready to hit the streets. Ferrari’s answer for Porsche’s RS-models is the Challenge Stradale, which uses almost identical ingredients.
These are the most recent photos of Ferrari F 430 Challenge Stradale. These photos were taken during a test drive in Germany.
The F430 Challenge is ready to hit the streets. The Challenge Stradale, Ferrari’s answer for Porsche’s RS models, is almost identical to the RS-models. The RS-models are lighter than the base GT3, but they have the same horsepower. Ferrari’s CS has more power and lighter body.
Standard F430 produces 490 bhp, while the Stradale delivers at least 520 horsepower and around 100 kilograms less weight. The most noticeable change is the increase in exhaust pipes, which now produce a lot more music for all Ferrari enthusiasts. It could be that Ferrari has recorded the sound in order to make a CD to sell to those who cannot afford the car. It’s not a bad idea, but it’s possible. Ferrari’s microphone visible in the exhaust pipes of the photos helps to make the sound as loud as legal.
Safety regulations all over the globe require that the doors of the 360 CS are made of glass. The wheels also have five normal lug bolts, instead of the one on the Challenge cars.
To keep the door’s weight down, the inside is entirely made of carbon. The carbon grille at the back, which also aids in engine cooling, and magnesium sport wheels are two other lightweight options. The brakes look larger, while the soft Pirelli P-Zero rubber tires provide the car with excellent grip. The interior features deep sport seats. The Challenge Stradale will be on the roads by the start of 2007.
