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.

Where the current roadgoing Ferrari coupe with its rear-mounted V8 can go beyond this Speciale edition, I don't know. The 458 Italia and Spider already hold a very dear place in the hearts of anyone who has driven them on a sunny day over great roads or tracks, and I was pretty sure nothing could beat the heady sensory combo presented in the 458 Spider when I first drove it back in 2011. I may have to change my opinion now. Companies like Ferrari are in the enviable position of sprinkling performance dust on their already-great base cars, all just to make them a skosh better and grab us again by the loins for one more model year. Some perspective: in 2002, the legendary Enzo set its personal best around Ferrari's 1.9-mile track at Fiorano, pulling a 1:24.9. This 458 Speciale with four fewer cylinders and more weight beats it with a time of 1:23.5, and not once during my laps did I feel as though I might die if my slightest judgment behind the wheel was less than on the money.
Mansory has, yet again, taken a supercar and turned the dial up to 11. Or maybe 12 or 13. This time the base car is none other than the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, a V12-powered GT car. Compared to Mansory's previous Ferrari GT-based creation, the Rambo-inspired Stallone that had used both the 599 and 612 as its base, the new La Revoluzione is a welcome departure. While the Revoluzione isn't what we'd call subtle, especially from the very front- and rear-most views, we appreciate the small amount of restraint Mansory showed when styling this deep red carbon fiber-bodied car, at least on the outside. As you can see in our image gallery above, the interior of this creation is quite loud and perhaps a little bit obnoxious. We can't argue with the results seen underhood - claimed horsepower sits at over 1,200 from a twin-turbo 6.3-liter V12 engine. That many ponies pays the expected dividends in performance, with a 0-62 run of 2.9 seconds and a top speed listed at 230 miles per hour. See it yourself in our high-res image gallery above.
White earphones too bland for you? Black too slow? Your otherwise high-end cans just not expensive enough? Logic3 hopes to remedy your plight with its new line of Ferrari-branded earphones and headphones. Logic3's Cavallino line is intended for the well-heeled audio enthusiast with aluminum housings covered in hand-stitched, lambskin leather. The Scuderia collection is also built with aluminum but instead of leather, the earphones' colors closely match those of the Ferrari F1 team. Yellow badges and aluminum grilles complete the look. Both lines also include over-the-ear headphones and Bluetooth compatible dock station speakers. The Scuderia line headphones mimic the look of hearing protection worn by F1 pit crews.
