The highlights at the Ferrari stand at the 61st Frankfurt Motor Show will be the world preview of the F430 Challenge, the 8-cylinder berlinetta-derived competition car that will be taking part in the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli from the 2006 season.
Ferrari has also reaffirmed the strong link between its GT and sporting divisions with the new F430 Challenge which is specifically designed to meet the expectations of its sportier clients. The F430 Challenge retains the same general look and 490 hp engine as the road-going version. However, it also incorporates a large number of significant track-oriented modifications and a host of new features not seen in the car currently used in the series, the 360 Challenge, which it joins on the track next season and completely replaces in 2007.
An intensive series of development tests held at Fiorano and other prestigious circuits have honed the F430 Challenge’s talents too. In fact, it offers a stunning series of features sure to meet with the approval of its drivers. As ever, the transfer from Formula 1 is significant, particularly with regard to the braking system which uses carbon-ceramic material (CCM) – a first for a Ferrari sports competition car.

Can someone explain the 14 on the 430C
Rookie
Yeah, for some strange reason these pics of the 430C are rather unflattering. It doesn't look as awesome and (can I say it?) boner-worthy as the original production version, and the pictures I've seen of it. I can't put my finger on why.

yeah, i also don't like where the exhaust pipes have been placed, surely there was no need to change it over the regular f430

I was referring to the fact that I saw the actual car on the day previous to writing this comment, that's why I used the past tense.

14 was the number used by Soccer Legend Johan Cruyff, maybe the car is worthy of sporting this number too
