Hi..
short update today. I was told by a pilot friend of mine,(working in Maranello and that tested the car) that the 458 Scud is practically ready. few refinements and the job will be finished. Few sentences were shared with me:

*the name is not yet decided but should be Challenge Stradale at 90% as for the past 360

*the look is very similar to the 458 Challenge

*the power is notyet declared but is around 600 hp

*big loss of weight but he can't say exactly how much

*no problems with the clutch..it is perfect in this car. More satisfaction for customers than on regular one, is expected

*manettino : will be simplified

*traction control: all pilots states that it is fantastic and you don't feel his engaging compared to the regular one

*look : fantastic as supposed. Very aggressive.

Performance: it is interesting what he said .."we will see now what the concurrents will be able to do"..

Personal feeling: the gap between the 430 and 430 Scuderia was bigger than in 458.

I know that most of these things are nothing special since already expected. What is important is the firm confirmation that the car is ready. He doesn't think that will be displayed on Geneva, but it doens't think too that would be impossible.

I hope to have helped people as me, waiting for this car giving them some fresh insides.

 

great news! Thanks!

 

Sorry I didn't check enought the text and have seen now some grammatical mistakes. I apologise.

 

Thanks for the news, Savage .

For Killian :
the Enzo and the 458 are two completely different cars .. the mechanical arrangement is not 'the same ..
Ciao !

@alexscud
sorry for this mistake
can't wait to the final car

 

Interesting that they may call it Challenge Stradale.

Has Ferrari ever used the same name for 2 different cars?

 

Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta
F355 Berlinetta
F12 Berlinetta

 

@Savage Thanx for detailed info

 

I am on the list!
