Ferrari Challenge Stradale



The Ferrari 360 is a two-seater, mid-engine, rear wheel drive sports car manufactured by Italian automotive manufacturer Ferrari from 1999 until 2005. The Challenge Stradale was, in fact, directly derived from the 360 Modena. That said, the technicians had removed anything that wasn’t strictly functional to performance or safety, resulting in a brilliantly light and fast berlinetta with a very definite racing set-up. To achieve that drastic weight reduction, the technicians worked on three overlapping areas: materials, construction technologies and overall optimisation of the design. In total, the Challenge Stradale is up to 110 kg lighter than the standard Modena if all the lightweight options are specified such as deleted radio, lexan (plexiglass) door windows and Alcantara fabric (instead of the leather option)

Engine - V8
Total Displacement - 3586.20 cc
Maximum Power - 425 hp at 8500 rpm
Top Speed - 300 KM/H

By the way, check out this thread also that will have lot of similarities with this thread in the above 1 crore category:

Re: The 2023 Thread | BHPians and their Dream Cars

Nice thread for a Sunday evening! My dream cars:

Dodge Challenger - the ultimate, timeless, fast (in a straight line), handsome and comfortable muscle car. I just can't get over the looks. To me, the desirability quotient of a well-equipped 8-cylinder Challenger is right up there with supercars from Italy:

Ferrari 488. I'm not buying all that nostalgia about the 458 and its NA V8. I'm all for turbochargers, modern tech and find the 488 to be better looking too:
The 2023 Thread | BHPians and their Dream Cars-13654226_977705755661655_1848940035489159948_n.jpg

With age, your choices get more practical from the India POV. And this is the best SUV in the world IMHO. A "dream car" you can drive from Bombay to Goa:
The 2023 Thread | BHPians and their Dream Cars-2023rangerover05.jpg

A W126 500 / 560SEL:
The 2023 Thread | BHPians and their Dream Cars-img20131011wa0001.jpg

Mercedes is really Mercedes:


A 911. Any 911 just for its heritage, classic styling & daily useable performance. Same formula since decades, only improved:
The 2023 Thread | BHPians and their Dream Cars-porschedrivemumbai5.jpeg





The W222 S-Class. IMHO, this car is going down in history as one of the "all-time greats" with enthusiasts, just like the W140:
The 2023 Thread | BHPians and their Dream Cars-2018mercedessclassfl04.jpg

No kidding. As an Indian Jeeper, a useable Jeep with performance, AC & amenities, convertible top and a great AT has always been a dream for me. I simply L-O-V-E this car:
The 2023 Thread | BHPians and their Dream Cars-2023rushthar03.jpg

Of course, I still dream about cars like the 288 GTO, Cooper S (what a perfect pocket rocket for India), M5, Defender etc.

The best part is, I am working toward owning some of the cars on this list

Re: The 2023 Thread | BHPians and their Dream Cars

Let me get to the point

Jaguar XJ220 - This is by far, the most beautiful car ever made. Period.

The 2023 Thread | BHPians and their Dream Cars-1992xj2205e1617984408722.jpg

Lamborghini Murcielago (pre-facelift) - Always had a soft spot for this one with candy bar lights and cartoony wheels

Mercedes CLK-GTR - The list cannot be complete without it

The 2023 Thread | BHPians and their Dream Cars-mercedesbenzclkgtr1.gif

The 2023 Thread | BHPians and their Dream Cars-sddefault.jpg

Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI - There's something special about a massive and cute looking SUV with a V10 diesel motor. Straight pipe it and reap the aural benefits. Also, this is the most practical vehicle on the list

The 2023 Thread | BHPians and their Dream Cars-5453701784_2fff036449_b.jpg

BMW F90 M5 CS - A dream list without an M5? Blasphemy! Especially if it is green with bronze rims

And since it is assumed that I am in a position to afford all of these (did I become a software dev at Bangalore? Haha, it's a joke, don't get offended), would ZF8 swap the first 4 in the list.

Re: The 2023 Thread | BHPians and their Dream Cars

My humble list :

1. Porsche 911 Dakar :
Oh God have mercy, I fell in love with this when I saw this for the first time. The 911 body in a offroad vehicle. This is probably the only Porsche that can stand a chance against Indian roads.

The 2023 Thread | BHPians and their Dream Cars-ownersells2023porsche911dakarjusttwomonthsafterpurchase222287_1.jpg

Image from Auto Evolution



Team-BHP Link (Porsche 911 Dakar : Tribute to its 1984 Dakar rally win. EDIT: Now unveiled)

2. Cadillac Escalade V :
This beast of a vehicle towers over you and gives the best combination of Luxury and Power. It will be a nightmare in India to maneuverer and get around in. It has enough space for your family and the neighbours. Just hear the exhaust out of this monster in this video.

The 2023 Thread | BHPians and their Dream Cars-1044365.jpg



Also I sometimes think of smoking a million dollar supercar or a muscle car with their engines roaring by a humble electric car like a tesla model S. Yes I am weird like that.

Re: The 2023 Thread | BHPians and their Dream Cars

After owning a Ford Endeavour and still owning it, all I wanted to own is another upgraded Endy. The real SUV with great VFM, ever launched in India, IMHO. I think it could have been realistic, if Ford were here.
