Default F430 Challenge?



The pic is kinda weird, but this should be the new F430 Challenge. Note the different exhaust, lower ride height, and a shitload of duct tape...

The thing is...it looks like a PS job. But why would anyone bother?

Anyway, the new Challenge Series is due soon.

Looks like a total PS job to me. Not sure why anyone would bother.. but then there are some strange people in the world with too much time on their hands!

yeah, it does look kinda chopped. I'm def excited about the 430 challenge. Ferrari seems to really be on a roll w/ their "entry level" car. Honestly tho, i could wait a while for the Challenge. I feel they could soak up the great reviews (and actually work on meeting customers demands - ferrari dealer back home said they're backed up to oblivion w/ orders) before they keep releasing models. Besides, it would give us more time to appreciate these great cars.

it could be photochopped, or it could be an old F430 back when the car was still being tested.

But if it is real and it is the CS version, I'm sure it'll be an amazing car.

No, it's not the CS version, that's for sure. The CS won't be released until around 2007. It's the racing version of the F430, the F430 Challenge (not Stradale).

This will be the base of the NGT car, if any private is interested of course...
