2004 Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale 6-Speed Conversion

The Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale is essentially a street-legal track weapon compared to the more civilized 360 Modena. Here are the key differences:

Performance & Power:

• Challenge Stradale: 420bhp vs Modena’s 395bhp
• 0-60 mph: Challenge Stradale 4.0 seconds vs Modena 4.3 seconds
• Top speed: Challenge Stradale 186 mph vs Modena 184 mph

Weight & Handling:

• Challenge Stradale is 110kg (242 lbs) lighter than the Modena through extensive use of carbon fiber and removal of luxury items
• Fixed racing suspension vs Modena’s adaptive dampers
• 19-inch alloy wheels vs smaller wheels on Modena

Braking:

• Challenge Stradale features carbon ceramic brakes (technology borrowed from the Ferrari Enzo) vs steel discs on Modena

Exterior Styling:

• More aggressive front bumper, wider side skirts, different rear bumper
• Carbon fiber hood and Challenge grille with larger holes
• GT-style mirrors

Interior:

• Challenge Stradale is stripped out: perspex windows, carbon fiber seats, no radio, minimal sound deadening
• Modena offers full luxury with leather, air conditioning, and all amenities

The Challenge Stradale was produced as a limited edition (2003-2004) track-focused ultimate version of the 360, making it significantly more collectible and performance-oriented than the standard Modena.
