It seems that we can look forward to seeing the F430 Challenge Stradale at Frankfurt. Ferrari Chairman Luca Cordero di Montezemolo basically told reporters this at the Geneva auto show. The model that will be debuting in Frankfurt is an evolution of the F430, which is expected to be more powerful and lighter than the current coupe through the use of F1 engineering and technology.

2008 Ferrari F430 Challenge Stradale
As we are used to by now, the logical order for the Ferrari models is: simple model, challenge model and challenge stradalle model. It was like this for the 360: first 360 Modena, then 360 Challenge and then 360 Challenge Stradale, so it will also be like this for the F430 too: first F430, then F430 Challenge and the next on the list is of course the F430 Challenge Stradale. The new model will go on sale in early 2007 and will be the main competitor for the Porsche’s RS models.
