Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale First Drive Review! Modern Classics Ep 7
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- Inspired by the 360 Modena Challenge racing car series, the 360 Challenge Stradale is the track focused version of the 360 Modena
The 360CS 360 is a stripped out, light weight, raw, pure version of the Ferrari 360 - The focus in development of the car was primarily on improving its track performance credentials by concentrating on handling, braking and weight reduction characteristics, which are essential in pure racing cars. Ferrari engineers designed the car from the outset with a goal of 20% track day use in mind and 80% road use. With only a small 25hp improvement in engine power from the Modena but a big weight saving the Challenge Stradale accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 4.1 seconds. The Challenge Stradale to claim a 3.5 second improvement per lap of the Fiorano Circuit compared to the Modena.

This series is like a greatest hits album of the supercar world. Love it!
Now that's what I call a supercar volume 1 :)
I know Sam is obsessed with these but OMG I had no idea they were this crazy! Thank you James for making me finally understand Sam and his obsession
Whos Sam? Im serious, dont know
@@RK1FX Another english car youtuber, his channel is called: Seen Through Glass
@@frederikzarghetta2438 oh that d bag.... that sounds like a stuffed muffin and doesnt know shit about cars...
@@RK1FX Sam is Seen Through Glass. Search for him on youtube
@@RK1FX yep! Sounds just like him!
Can anyone else hear Sam screaming from the other side of the world?! 😂
Im waiting his comment....
I was about to say the same thing 😂😂
Yes! 😂😂
Exactly 😂😂😂
funny how James is not liking the comments where Sam is mentioned. Why though?
I think Sam will be quite jealous of this :D
Is it creepy that's the first think I thought of? 🤣
@@pope400 not at all, great minds think alike ✌️😂
This series is LIT! Love it...
This was the first Ferrari i got to ride in... It sounds AMAZING, cameras can't capture it, and it is such a amazing car!
I agree, I was lucky enough to drive one and the amazing sound can't be truly expressed through a camera and then out the stereo speakers of a phone/laptop.
What does the acceleration actually feel like? Pulls hard? Midrange to 8500? Quick but disappointing? The numbers are pretty good for the time period but not stellar either. Im curious
Yes!! Amazing series mate! F50 and Enzo next😍
The best review, by my favourite RUclipsr, of my absolute dream car. Hats off to you James, keep up the great modern classics series!
Mini360 decent Andrew isn’t he 👍
@@K1CGT down to earth, honest reviews. Just brill!
@Mr JWW : If you think the stock CS is fun, you should review my car. 250kg stripped vs 110kg, race cats, race headers, fixed race buckets, snap off steering wheel, centre lock challenge race rims from the Challenge cars, larger 430 Challenge racer brakes, lots of Michelotto part, the list of upgrades is endless and as a result the car is silly quick, same power to weight as a 458. Oh and the best bit till last, its a H-gate!
For the content pls james
Yes Please !!!
Similar to my F430 over 100kg out and plus more HP all factory parts from Challenge series etc...
I've followed your work on F-Chat 360trev and your work is well beyond exceptional.
My memory of this car, in 2008 I was in Leeds, and There’s a tunnel just near the Hilton hotel, so I’m walking along and this 360CS comes blazing through that tunnel... and the noise, dear god the noise!!!! I can’t remember where I ate that night, or where I ended up... but I remember every moment of that Ferrari in that tunnel! 😎
SanMarino_CS Cool story man.
As an owner of two of these beauties I have to say you nailed every point in this vid. Hearing you say it's like a go cart had me smiling as that i what i say. Nailed the point about no 2 Strad's being the same, i can vouch for that! Tunnel run is beyond exciting by the way... Awesome vid thank you.
Two?
It's like pure street-legal race car. Such a beautiful and awesome beast, and that Ferrari V8 sound...just WOW!!!!! Amazing machine.
Can you please do a f355 modern classic review. I always thought that’s one of the most beautiful Ferrari’s. I’d love to see a good review of it. Cheers
Fantastic noise, forgot how good those 360's sound 👍
Some considerations for your next Modern Classics video - 997 GT3 RS 4.0, Mercedes CLK63 AMG Black Series or Audi RS4 Avant B5 or B7
OH YES. Now you've reviewed all 3 lightweight NA V8 berlinettas!
Isn't there still a 348 speciale?
@@philipwild9134 There is a 348 Challenge, and an f355 Challenge
I have to give it to James I have never been a fan of Ferrari, never had any desire for a Ferrari, however James has an ability to inform with an appreciation and enthusiasm for the brand that is infectious.
muppetnumpty65 How can you not have any desire for Ferrari? That's either a lie or you have something wrong with your brain. There is no way anyone who likes cars even just a little bit wouldn't love and desire Ferraris. You really must be a muppet numpty lol.
It is refreshing to watch a new video on one of my favorite cars of all time and still be able to learn something new about it. Good job!
I remember when a friend of mine bought Challenge Stradale when they were new. He'd previously had a regular 360 Modena. After he got it, I recall his view was that the Stradale was just too fast and too crazy to take it to its limits on the road. Amazing to think that supercars have got so much faster and crazier since then!
A Murcielago SV would be amazing! What a great series james!
This.... this is it. The dream car.
You could hear the pebbles striking the underbody. A proper track challenge car for the road. Sounds great too.
This is my favourite series on RUclips if were being honest.
Sam ( STG ) somewhere in Asia, sitting in his Hotel Room, drooling over this Video.
I absolutely love these Videos of modern classics, James. Please keep doing this !
Beautiful car and beautiful presentation as always James. Love your work.
WTF James, this series just keeps getting better n' better! It weeds out the 'Lambo/Bugatti/etc clickbait' type viewers; leaving only us gearheads left to enjoy your pure joy driving these amazing cars we all grew up dreaming about. Please, Ferrari GTO 288 & Porsche 959 at some point.. if you can swing it.
Someone send this to STG hahaha
Great car, shame it wasn't a manual but still!
A manual challenge stradale doesn't exist sadly!
@@jaimykok6533 a real shame isn't it!
Yep, if it came fitted with a manual it would probably be one of my all time favorites.
@@jaimykok6533 I thought the same thing until I bought one. The F1 gearbox goes with the character of the car. I always drive mine in 'Race', and it's brilliant.
Dino Micalizio Agree completely. It really does impress once you get to experience it as an owner. Such an amazing machine.
Sam be like : oh my holy god its a challange stradale with no stripe *_WITH NO STRIPPEEE_* .
"Absolootley MENTAHL. A TROOLY MEGAH CAHR"
Best series on RUclips. EVER
this sounds so unreal honestly... a serious legend!
Love this one so much and it don't has even a start stop system and automatic gearbox 😍
*STG starts drooling
This series has been a perfect example of why I watch this channel. I've never seen another youtuber give a review that's so focused on the car, and so genuinely well thought out and pure. It's like watching an episode of Top Gear, which is about the highest compliment I can give.
The Ferrari Challenge Stradale is the rawest and most beautiful car Ferrari has made in many many years... A true legend!!! IMHO.
The biggest difference in power with these to a normal 360 is that both pistons and crankshaft are blueprinted, meaning, pistons are matched to a very specific clearance, to all 8 and crankshaft is ligthened and has imperfections removed. This might not sound much but on a 8 cylinder car it makes all the difference and cs, unlike most Ferraris, ALL make as much or more power than advertised.
You gotta appreciate the knowledge this man puts into his videos. It’s on the Chris Harris level if not above.
About10 years ago a friend of mine took me out for a run in one of these, incredible car, it’s the sound and rawness of it that really makes this car special. Unbelievable experience and surely one of the top 5 Ferrari’s ever produced!
Have driven a 430scuderia and an aventador on the track but a ride in this still holds top position in the smiles per miles, still scares the life out of me when I recall that moment! nice video James
Great job once again sir. Big fan of all your work. Just keeps on getting better every time.
I had one of these years ago. Was a very fun car to drive. I wish I kept it.
This car sounds so good! Especially with tubi or novitec exhaust!
I drove it once and I confirm it s the best sounding car ever!
Thank you for taking the time to dive into the CS! It was always a dream car of mine and I finally had a drive in one last year. My reaction was similar to yours in that it is just such a special car, so pure and raw. I have a hunch that this one needs fresh or better suited rubber to hook up in those conditions, but it is an aggressive car for sure. So special, so Ferrari.
This series is a triumph. At your absolute best James.
Next time Porsche 964 Carrera RS please!
Best sounding car ever
Excellent work young man, I'm glad you took my advise to drive modern classics as well as hypercars 👍🏻
Love your videos!! You are way more interesting to watch than all the other car youtubers. I just bought a Huracan and i wish you could revisit this car sometime. Cheers
I have a 2005 360 spider and absolutely love it. it may not be as race car as this but still raw compared to modern cars. Ferrari updated the gear shifting in the latter years of production but it's still a gearbox you have to learn to drive and live with but once mastered its great, even blips throttle to rev match when high in the revs on downshifts.
This series is the bomb James I would like to see a 997 GT3 RS 4.0, Mercedes CLK63 AMG Black Series or Audi RS4 Avant B5 or B7 be featured
The subtitle says "music" when you downshift this killer car. I think that is the best translation.🤙
Great job James and awesome series.Nice you can acknowledge & appreciate older cars too.
I always considered the 360 Modena as the first of modern Ferrari in the line of 308, 328, 348, 355, 360, 430, .... so good to have a review this time and so nice to hear this version (Challenge Stradale) still give thrills and doesn’t feel like an old car. However it might be considered as the last in line, as from then on all were heavier, more technical advanced, ....
Another fantastic polished classic given the Mr JWW scrutiny. Brilliant video James 👏👏👏👏👏
Your content is fantastic. TV is dead! I watched over 2 hours of your vids last night. Thank you for taking us on all of your auto adventures. I watch
RUclips through our cable provider on our TV I hope it still gives you credit as viewed.
Bravisimo Signore...it's difficult getting constructively criticised, but you've come a long way forward taking all of it on board chief. Keep up the good work for us fan boys.
Best guy ever
Legendary car, raw like no other v8 NA Ferrari, this baby is going down in the history books.
I expect nothing less than to hear "we're on a wet, British B road, but..." every episode haha! Phenomenal review and amazing car!
I love the sound of a Ferrari!!! My dream car to buy is a f430!!!
You're in luck lad, they are taking a nosedive these days
@@DidierPeroni I hope to buy one for my car channel with in two years for 60-75k hopefully if I can find one. That's how much loaded brand new trucks for.
@@Dreamcardriving here's a little bit of a whack idea. If you're spending that much money, why dont you look at an old e type.
Itll make your RUclips channel stand out. Best of luck btw, with the youtube channel :)
@@DidierPeroni thanks my friend for the advice and input!
@@DidierPeroni I truly like your thinking I can't disagree with you.
I own a CS and it truly is the most fun I've ever had in a car - scary fun. Thank you - great job!
My neighbours friend had a stradale, he took me for a ride in it about 10 years ago. The noise it makes is truely astounding. The performance might be so so compared to the current market. But to this day probably most fun I’ve had in a car
Great video as always, did a Ferrari day at Silverstone 11 years ago before moving to Australia, the 360 was the car being used for the day, I still have a soft spot for them.
Cracking content again James. can you do Sierra cosworth or Lotus Carlton? Maybe even a Lamborghini Countach
Congrats on baby James. A new petrol head is added to the family of petrolheads❤️
The last of the authentic Ferrari. A legendary car.
They said the same thing about 458 Italia
Man your modern classic series is killing it. Great video and I can't wait to see the next car you do
Bravo MrJWW. You’re my favorite channel subscription. Mega content. Gobsmacked by the camera work. Absolute class. Stradman is drooling 🤤over this episode!
Cool, I was the 360th person to view this. :-)
Any chance of reviewing an Escort Cosworth James? Or maybe a Sierra RS500 Cosworth?
big yes yes yes to both
Yes!!!
Yup yup.
RS200 too!!!
Yes to both, can't find any decent reviews (especially in HD) of the RS500 on youtube... was a monster in it's day
Good call
Loving the modern classic series keep it up !!!
You know you gotta have a go in the NSX-R NA2 right? You'll be blown away for sure!
My favourite youtuber- I'm off to visit Ferrari because of being inspired by one of your videos, would love to see the 288 GTO in future on the channel :)
Love how knowledgable you are with these cars and go into the smallest of details bravo James keep up the content
goodness gracious. A special, special car.
Brilliant once again. How about driving a Ferrari 512TR?
Mr. JWW you are killing it with these modern classics! Can you please drive and review the 996 GT3RS soon and compare it to this CS? Since they were competitors and all...
1st Gen Gallardo should definitely go on the list!
Superleggera would be nice
Yup superleggera.
Murcielago sv?
1st gen Superleggera
Agreed but you just know James will hate the first gen gearbox hehe
James can you do a review of the 997 GT3 MK1. Keep up the great work, I love your videos
Dude. This Modern Classics series is incredible. Keep it up! 👍👍👍👍
I love this Modern Classics series you've created. Awesome video Mr JEW!
Great video Mr JWW! Who needs top gear??
Any chance you could do an F355?..My most favourite Ferrari ever!
Awesome! How about an Enzo or an F50?
James I don't kn0w if you can arange it, but given that you got an F40 and an even rarer GTO on stage, maybe it would be possible for you to get a Porsche 959 or a Porsche 911 GT1. I know they are rare and at least for the GT1 I doubt there are any in Europe, outside the Porsche museum. But it would be really cool go get driving footage of those, because good footage like you produce is rare for these cars.
One of the most track -oriented hard core supercars of its time. Would definitely kill to have one in my garage in a flash/. 360 on a diet.
Haven't watched for a while. But this. This was great. Love the concept of driving modern Ferrari Classics.Great review and feedback. Nice one!
I bet Sam from Seen Through Glass would be in the video if he was in the UK
Glad he isn't would have ruined the video
A Ferrari video from Mr. JWW, in 4k. This is amazing!
I don’t think I could cope with having a 360 Modena knowing how much better the CS is in every way - even though the differences are subtle it’s amazing how much better it looks - check out The Car Guys RUclips channel for the video on their silver 360 CS - that colour is absolutely stunning , works magic with the lines - stunning.
This era of Ferrari is just about the last era of true Ferraris. Lightweight (even the standard 360 feels light and chuckable), go kart-y, loud, raw and easily fast enough for public road usage. When people are disappointed with stuff like the Pista.. What they are truly wanting is a Ferrari from this era.
One of the best most exclusive modern Ferraris ever made!
I'm going to show my child this videos to understand why I was so amazed by cars when I was young
Loving these modern classic run of videos, knocking it out the park yet again
12:44 The reason we all love your videos :)
A 288 GTO & Porsche 959 back to back would be a great video :)
Absolutely love this series
Videos are coming thick and fast now. All top notch 🚗🚗🚗
This the best sounding V8 ever made?
Sierra Cosworth RS Next?
This video has officially made me a challenge stradale fanboy 😍
This is a great series. I hope you do this forever. So many cars you can review.
When Mr. JWW gives you a video Valentine’s gift that’s more amazing then your significant other can ever give xD
I was lucky enough to be able to film one, see one at a car show, and after seeing it in this video I dream of one now 😍😍
