The Ferrari Challenge Stradale is extremely hardcore.

Damage: $193,324

Horsepower: 425

Interior: Ferrari’s stripped-out Challenge Stradale has no radio, carpets, electric windows or leather. But it does have a carbon fiber dash, squashed crown steering wheel, racing seats and a centrally mounted red-on-yellow rev counter. Nice.

Exterior: The Strad hunkers down on massively wide, wafer-thin Pirelli P-Zeros. Ferraristi will clock the deeper front bumper, carbon fiber side mirrors, revised rear wing, gigantic brake rotors and 14-spoke, 19-inch wheels. And if that isn’t enough to signify Strad style, you can order it with a racing stripe.

Extra, Extra: The transformation from Modena to Strad, from mean to extreme, starts with a carbon fiber and titanium makeover. The new door panels, floor pan, brake discs, suspension and wheel bolts are all significantly lighter. Ferrari’s satanic mechanics also tweaked the 360’s aerodynamics (using a trick rear diffuser) and breathed a bit of magic on its high-revving V8 (boosting peak power by 25 prancing horses).
