EXCLUSIVE SPYSHOTS: New Ferrari GT3 RS killer-Part one

Ferrari F 430 Challenge Stradale

Ferrari is preparing the launch of the super sports car F 430 Challenge Stradale at the Paris Motor Show coming fall. The car is set to rival Porsche’s upcoming GT 3 RS, which is equally due for launch this year.

The Stradale is about 100 kg lighter than the standard F 430. While the latter is powered by a 4,3 litre V 8 engine performing 490 HP, the light weight Stradale ‘s performance is said to rate around 520 HP with the same engine.



The photos are showing a prototype during road testing in Maranello. The pictured test car has still some tape at the front end for disguise. At the rear end clearly visible, the exhaust pipes are located further up in the middle and not on the side like in the F 430.

The Porsche isnt as exclusive as Ferrari is. The average person could probably mistake a boxster for a 911. Plus this car looks soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool. I would take this over a Aston Martin Vantage or 2 gt3s.

This car will be $100,000 more than the RS, for the price, the RS is the winner, now if you got the money, you shouldn't even consider anything but a ferrari.

I think you need to hold a little more respect for the F430 CS. The old one was an amazing car, and closely matched to the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, and now that the current F430 is leaps and bounds better than the 360, it stands to reason that the new CS will be very rapid.

Although I predict the new GT3 RS will be just as impressive. It always is.
