Note the plexiglass window, tow hook, hoodpins, lowered suspension, fuelfiller, and rollcage. The challenge car gives us a little sneak preview of what the F430 Challenge Stradale will look like...

Yumcha

Great. Is it cheap?

srika

yea. sources say it will be priced somewhere between the F355 and the F360.

Dan Martin

Wow that thing is low. It makes a regular F430 look like an offroader by comparison.

Yumcha

So, only in my dreams where I'm a uber-rich millionaire playboy who is also a superhero by night?

srika

umm.. yea.

srika

a few stragglers...

Yumcha

Damn.

Smart@$$ing aside, what are the figures on that car anyhow? Or is it just a lightened and stiffer version?

srika

well, if the previous challenge cars are any indication, I am guessing the F430 Challenge should have somewhere around 520 hp and probably a little more torque than the production model - the F360 Challenge had 425 hp while the production model had 400, by comparison. And yes it will be lighter and all that good race stuff...

Are these pics of the production models, or are these test models?

srika

not totally sure... either way, these are never gonna be "production models" - they are race models with one purpose only, racing in the Ferrari Challenge series... and are not street legal.

I saw a 360 Challenge cup car at the track and wasn't that impressed. It sat in the pits longer than it did on the track.
