Ferrari Challenge Stradale

Ferrari 360 is the name given to three models of Ferrari cars: the Ferrari 360 Modena, an enclosed two-door coupe; the Ferrari 360 Spider, a two-door convertible; and the Ferrari Challenge Stradale, the bare-bones version of the 360 Modena.

The Ferrari 360 Modena has a 3.6 litre V8 engine producing 400bhp+ and accelerating from 0-60mph in around 4.0 secs. All have eight-cylinder engines and aluminum chassis. The 360 was replaced by the Ferrari F430 in 2005.

The Ferrari tradition, epitomised by the F40 model, is one of stripped-down performance and not of luxury. This tradition has recently been let go in favour of the leather and ornamentation of the 360 Modena and 575M Maranello, but Ferrari returned to its roots for the Challenge Stradale.

It is a two-door coupe and is essentially the 360 Modena from the outside, though its aerodynamics have been reworked slightly. The main differences are a stripped-out aluminum chassis (causing a significantly lighter vehicle), an upgraded 3.6-litre V8 engine, improved suspension and brakes, and a Formula One-style sequential gearshift.
