CHALLENGE STRADALE



Description


The Ferrari tradition, epitomized by the F40 model, is one of stripped-down performance and not of luxury. This tradition has recently been let go in favor 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-liter V8 engine, improved suspension and brakes, larger 19-inch wheels and tires, a Formula One -style sequential gearshift, and extensive use of Carbon Fiber components.

It was officially introduced in March of 2003 at the Geneva International Motor Show and went into production shortly thereafter.

CRITICISM


The 360 was generally well-received. However, some reviewers criticized its handling at the limit as twitchy, similar to its predecessor (the 348 ). One real world example of this was when footballer Ian Wright crashed his 360 with a mistimed downshift while slowing down on an uphill road.


IN POPULAR MEDIA




  • In Dr. Dre 's music video for the song '' Forgot About Dre '', the artist is seen driving a silver version of the 360.
