After we purchased our 2004 Challenge Stradale from a Franchise Ferrari Dealer who described the car to me as near perfect, I started to hear rumors that there had been an incident where some quite substantial repairs were required to the car. I looked the car over from top to bottom, had a paint shop look at the car to look for any signs of repair, and from the outside she looked just as a 10,000 mile car should…the typical rock chips etc, but nothing indicating an accident.
I tried to get more history on the car to no avail. Franchise dealers are very seldom forthcoming with prior service records using “Privacy” as a reason. As some say, being a hand built car, if there is an incident, and it is repaired properly, is it any different from the factory? One thing the rumors seemed to agree upon was that the car was repaired to as new, with no expense spared. Having no evidence to the contrary (No accidents reported through CarFax or Autocheck) we continued to advertise the car on face value as being an exceptional example of a Factory Stripe car.
I recently was contacted by an enthusiast whom was very interested in finding a very nice example with good miles and with Factory Stripe. The client had an experienced friend come and look at the car in our dealership and was satisfied that the car was very nice but being as he planned on having a little fun in her as well as collecting, he wanted Pre Purchase Inspection carried out. We readily agreed as we do with all of our cars. We took the car to a shop of the customer’s choice where the PPi was completed. For the most part the car was found to be in excellent condition, the typical signs of minor oil seepage from Camseals etc, all work that could wait to the next major service.
While doing a visual inspection with the lower trays removed the technician noticed one of the radiator brackets on the driver’s side had a rivet replaced 6 millimeters from the original position, on further inspection he noticed the lack of red over spray on the lower spider frame (Box section framework supporting the radiator, horn and drivers side of bumper)he . He reported this to the client who wanted to look deeper by removing the front bumper cover.
They asked for our permission to do this which we gave willingly as we need to know what might have happened. With the bumper removed, the technician found evidence of repairs to the front driver’s side of the car.
The work carried out is to an extremely high standard and in no way takes away from the strength of the car or the drivability of the car.
I received a call from a guy who called himself Ryan, told me he has documented evidence of the car having been involved in two incidents and would I sell him the car cheap. I asked him to forward the evidence on to me so I could look closer at the area’s reportedly repair but he seemed apprehensive in doing so, stating “Privacy” again. I told him to blank out any names, addresses, telephone numbers, even the dealerships name, all I wanted was VIN, Miles, Dates and Work carried out. I gave him my email but I have yet to hear from him. If someone reading this, or the previous owner does have documented evidence of repairs carried out to our Stradale, please contact or forward to me. Just as buyers expect documented evidence (CarFax or Autocheck) that a car hasn’t been involved in an accident before making an offer, we the sellers also need the evidence that one of our cars has been involved in an incident before we would be willing to discount the car.
Ryan’s statement that he has evidence in no way changes my mind as to the quality of this Challenge Stradale.
When you see the collectable Ferrari’s, especially the old race cars that sell for millions of dollars at auction, most if not all have been either restored from the ground up, a lot of the time replacing panels, floors and even sections of the frame and most of the race cars have had major repairs because of damage sustained during a race, some multiple times. We are also at the mercy of accuracy of these vehicle conditions reports and as buyers of our cars before we are sellers of them we also use these reports to make an informed buying decision.
We at Black Horse believe in integrity and when we discover something after the fact, we like to be up front and honest about it.
Our cars are accurately described and represented to the best of our knowledge at all times. Our reputation and honor are something we do not take lightly.

EVO's Harry Metcalfe had some questions about the day-to-day livability of the Ferrari FF. When he brought those questions up to Ferrari, they suggested he take one for a couple of weeks and try it out for, as he calls them, "mundane duties." The image above is Metcalfe pointing to the 660-horsepower, all-wheel drive FF parked in one of his fields because, since he lives on a farm, mucking about the green is part of his daily routine. "It could use more ground clearance," he says, "but that's an option on this car." He does get it on the "tarmac" and he likes it even more there than in the mud. Except for the buttons on the steering wheel; he thinks learning to use them is like learning to play guitar. He has a lot more to say besides that, and you can watch him expound for all of 17 minutes in the video below.
Ferrari swore up and down when it was developing the California that it wouldn't be an "entry-level" model. Whether that ultimately proved to be the case or not is up for debate, but it seems that the Prancing Horse marque is now preparing to launch a properly more accessible model in the near future. According to Motor Trend, Maranello is working on a new six-cylinder sports car to serve as the point of entry for new customers – especially in China. Tax implications there could mean the V6 would displace less than 3.0 liters, but likely pack a pair of turbochargers to ensure that output and performance live up to the Ferrari standard. Tipped to arrive in 2019, the six-cylinder model could materialize as a revival of sorts of the Dino line. Named after Enzo Ferrari's first-born son, the Dino sub-brand used mostly six-cylinder engines to take on the Porsche 911 on and off the track. The Dino 206 GT emerged in 1968, evolved into the larger-displacement 246 the following year and ultimately gave way to the very different, eight-cylinder, four-seat 308 GT4 in 1973, later to be rebadged as a proper Ferrari once the Dino brand was put to rest in '76. It's worth noting that Ferrari developed the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 for the Maserati Ghibli and Quattroporte, which would presumably serve as the basis for the new entry-level Ferrari. Though FCA typically endeavors to keep its brands from competing directly with one another, Maserati is due to release a production version of the Alfieri sports car concept within the next couple of years, powered by that same engine, and could share its underpinnings with the Ferrari model in question. The six-cylinder Prancing Horse could carry a price tag of around $180,000 to take on the likes of the Porsche 911 Turbo, Mercedes-AMG GT, Audi R8 and the Sports Series which McLaren just kicked off with its new entry-level 570S.

The Mansory Stallone you see above isn't the first such transmogrification of a Prancing Horse. This one is based on the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, but the first honor, as far as we can tell, went to the Stallone based on the 599 GTB Fiorano. The F12 version was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show this year, but we missed out, and we were sure you wouldn't want to miss it. As with its predecessor, this one gets a total makeover, from the new front clip and hood to the side skirts, new rear end, rear diffuser and rear wing. There is additional muscle for the 6.0-liter V12, too - a tweaked ECU and sports exhaust with a stainless steel muffler getting matters up from 740 horsepower to 775, and torque from 509 pound-feet to 535. Moving things forward is a set of bespoke, staggered, lightweight aluminum wheels, 21 inches up front, 22 in the back. The showstopper is inside, where a red and black leather treatment and redesigned steering wheel will make the cabin a very intense place to be. Check out the press release below for the minutiae, and the high-res gallery above for more angles.
