Now we want to see the Challenge Stradale right away :D

Ah, thanks TT! :D

It's me or it's almost identical with the current F430 for the road? I think that there was a bigger distance (I'm just talking about how they look) between the 360 challenge and the normal one than between the F430 challenge and the F430...

Damn, Ferrari is working fast nowadays.. How long did it take for the 360 Spider to come? The 430 Spider only took half a year, and now the CS is already testing..

I disagree, at first glance the Challenge and Modena were not that different beside the rims and interior

Actually this is the Challenge, the racing version (roll cage)

dont think it's ths cs. more likely "just" the challenge.

juat noticed the rollcage and the tow-hook in the front. definatly the track biased challenge

the CS will be mean :twisted:

arg you beat me, just saw your post TT :wink:

TT is as fast as a Challenge when he wants :D

Jeje.. Fuck of erik.. ;)

Didn't have time to check the photo out, so I just posted... :?

Agree with TT... They were not that different, but you can easily see the difference anyways.. If you just look at it, as I should have before posting.. :oops:

damn TT. u are the man with these pics. U are a car pic god for all i am concerned. So did u get these pics chasing it down on ur bike or what?

Awesome pics though. Anyone have any idea about possible HP figures? They wernt a huge improvement on the 360 to the 360 Challenge, so one would assume about the same HP improvement. Free flowing exaust, better intake.........

So should we expect the CS to come out in a year or so? given the time for R&D, which will probobly go hand-in-hand with the Challenge.

^^

More like 2007 or so. The standard F430 is good for at least another 2 or even 3 years without any evolutions. It sells rather well, so I think the situation with the F430 CS should be the same as it was with the current Stradale. But ya never know...

Most important IMO: they should launch the 430CS to the public only after they will have a good amount built and ready to be delivered. I know it's part of the Ferrari experience, but the fact you need to wait something like 2 years atm if you will buy a new F430 it's plain sick!

looks good, can't want till next years f1 race, and see these things race around the track :D

that site let us know Nuno is a image stealer didnt they? LOL

Well, I was hoping frong bumper would change.. nothing is said yet right? I mean they might change it... IHOPE

Well, all the previous Challenge versions didn't have different bumpers, so I guess it won't change

A few more pics (this time not stolen :mrgreen:):
