Ferrari Challenge Stradle Suspension

Developed from the superb handling package of the 360 Modena, the Challenge Stradale significantly enhances the same basic architecture. The titanium front and rear springs are 20% stiffer than on the 360 Modena and a larger diameter rear anti-roll bar has been fitted.

Roll and squat have been reduced allowing the Stradale faster, better controlled reaction to steering and directional changes while giving the driver more direct feedback. Shock absorber settings have been revised and the car's center of gravity has been lowered by 0.6".

The Challenge Stradale benefits from carbon ceramic rotors: the result of highly advanced studies conducted by Ferrari and the manufacturer of this system, Brembo. The 15" x 1.3" front discs and 13.8" x 1.3" rear discs are all acted upon by 6-piston calipers.

The carbon-ceramic system installed on the Challenge Stradale, together with the aluminum brake carriers, produce astounding performance and braking distances, with the added benefit of a 16% weight reduction over conventional brake discs of the same size. The result is 15% better deceleration rates than the 360 Modena

Specially designed Pirelli P Zero Corsa super-low profile tires help hold the Stradale to the road surface. Front tires measure 225/35 while rears measure 285/35, and all are mounted on 19" Challenge-style wheels secured by titanium bolts. This choice of tire reflects longstanding cooperation between Pirelli and Ferrari, as demonstrated by the Ferrari Challenge-Pirelli Trophy and the FIA GT Championship. Comprehensive testing led to the development of the tire compound and tread pattern to maximize controlled transfer of power to the road, and a very high lateral acceleration of 1.3g while maintaining superb balance and thermal conditions.
