Hi Everyone, I just thought I'd share a little bit on my first F car. Nearly pulled the trigger five years ago on a Speciale but chose a McLaren 650S as it better suited what I wanted to do at the time. Now I want less speed, composure, and usability. I want more soul, sound, and silliness! Enter the 360CS. After trying to trade my 650S and cash into a dealer for a slightly tired CS, they wouldn't take my care as they cannot advertise non F cars on their website per their deal with Ferrari. So I started looking for a UK RHD to import to Hong Kong where I live. The car no longer meets emissions requirements so I would have to wait 3 more years to do so! Thankfully, while asking for help to find a way to import, I was offered the car that I own today. At the same price as the tired car at the dealership. Rosso Corsa. No stripe. Alcantara with leather wheel. Lexan. Spare tire and all original accessories. Fully serviced. Only 1600km from new! Needless to say I have already depreciated it significantly by putting nearly 1000km in my first month of ownership, which for Hong Kong is decent mileage! I love the car. It honestly does everything that I am looking for. I stopped driving my 650S because I bought a 1.5L Mazda MX5 ND with all the goodies and had more fun driving it flat out. The CS enables me to push a lot harder than I could in the 650S and with so much sound it just gets my adrenaline going. Those who know the wonders of the car, know it. So no more words, a few pictures instead. Enjoy! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
You ended up with the best CS money can buy! Sliding windows! RHD. Perfect color combo. RARE. Congrats. You found a unicorn.
I have had my CS for now about three weeks, and I cannot agree more. The CS is a true unicorn, the people who are lucky enough to own one no what you are saying, it is just the perfect balance of old and new, pure driving enjoyment and emotion on all levels. I am so proud to be a lucky owner of such a rare car. Oh, did I mention it is also perhaps one of the best looking Ferraris ever, I put this car in the same class as a 288 GTO and F40 (price aside) for what the car stands for, built for, designed for and soul. Also, as for value, I believe the car will continue to only go up in value, so drive. 20 years form now nobody will care about miles, I have Ferrari's from the 60's, and nobody cars about miles on these cars, they are rare and if you want one, then you want one, miles are not a factor. Congratulations, enjoy and welcome to the lovely world of older Ferrari's!
Thanks for the welcome guys. I certainly have no qualms with driving it! My plan, post Covid, is to ship it to Japan for a road trip and perhaps a track day or two! Its a brilliant car. You guys may have noticed it doesn't have the radio either which I don't think anyone could hear anyway! I was looking for a car without the stripe because I think it dates the CS a little bit. I have also found out that contrary to popular belief, Ferraris don't melt in the rain! On a recent morning drive I got to grips with the chassis balance and was blown away at how lovely this little car really is. Delicate when you want it to be, and a hair raiser at other times. Here's a few more pictures just because I enjoy taking them! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login While this is my first F car, my father has a few that he lets me drive.

Shadow77, Congrats! Fantastic car! I got mine since more than 11 years now, and honestly, I didn't regret it for a second. BTW, is it this one? https://www.challenge-stradale.com/137260.html
Why is the little sticker there? I also noticed "Challenge" embroidered on the headrests. Never seen these before!
