Ferrari Challenge Stradale ordered
Yesterday I went to my Ferrari dealer to leave the car for the 10000 kms service.
As I was about to leave the dealer's owner came to say hi.
I asked him about the sport version of the Modena, prepared to take the usual: we have no info, bla bla...
Instead he told me that, although not officially, Ferrari in an indirect way is making its dealers aware that a very high performance limited edition of the Modena is about to be launched.
As of now at Ferrari they are calling it Challenge Stradale, and infos are very scarce.
All he knew was that it is going to be lighter, with very spartan and racy interior and extensive use of composites, with a suspension set up that stands between the Modena and Challenge cars, but is totally redeveloped.
Engine will be slightly more powerful or they will state the same power, but as in the Challenge cars, they will choose only the engines that are able to exceed the quoted figure.
I instantly thought: "this is the car for me!"
So I signed the contract and put down a deposit.
I am now officially the customer for car number 1 in Switzerland, and I'm thrilled as a baby...
The delivery date is still unknknown, (June or a little before that probably) as also the price
.
All they know is that it will almost certainly be a limited or very low volume edition.
I want to thank Manu (f550lm) for being the first one to tell me about this model a long time ago!!
Also thanks to Zzboba for adding infos recently on the topic.
Guys, keep your spyes working because in the next months I NEED to know all the technical infos I can get...
