The total space of these compartments is four cubic feet. Minimal luggage can be stowed in two compartments located behind the engine and two additional compartments in the seats are designed to store two race helmets. The steering column and paddles are adjustable in order to alter the driving position. The seats are carbon-fibre shells fixed to the chassis and have foam padding applied on them. Vital information of the car such as speed and rpm are displayed on a motorsports-style display screen on the steering column. The interior of the car has carbon fibre as its main element and has all of the main controls of the car integrated into the steering wheel. The brake calipers are supplied by Brembo. The braking system utilises steel brake discs as the engineers working on the car believed that steel brake discs worked just as good without the added complexity and cost of a carbon-ceramic brake disc. The Stradale comes with electronic stability control as standard that can be turned off and set to intervene as minimum as possible. Both of the transmissions come with a Quaife limited-slip differential.

The engine is transversely mounted and is combined with a 6-speed manual transmission (also from the Focus RS) or an optional 6-speed automated manual transmission with paddle-shifters mounted on the steering column transferring the power of the engine to the rear wheels. These elements combined without the optional rear wing create so much downforce that the format of the car requires to be fitted with reverse Gurney flaps that help maintain appropriate aerodynamic balance. The floor of the chassis is flat with a front splitter mounted at the front and a rear diffuser mounted at the rear. Two control arms are present at each corner, with the front arms directly mounted on the tub. The carbon tub is joined by aluminium sub-structures front and aft. The air from one side goes to the engine while the air from the other side goes to the air-to-air intercooler. The base of the chassis is a hollow carbon-fibre tub with a solid carbon fibre side structure in order to channel air to the rear of the car.
QUAIFE SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX FOR SALE DRIVER
A T-shape removable frame combined with detachable gull-wing doors makes the conversion to a Targa top and Berlinetta bodyshell possible, but the driver enters the car in the same way, regardless of body structure (i.e by climbing over the side). The windscreen has a shape and a central windscreen wiper reminiscent of the Group C race cars of the 1990s. The conversion to different body styles was made possible by a removable windscreen made from motorsport grade polycarbonate glass and a carbon fibre frame. Bosch also worked on the car's aerodynamics and as a result, the car in the berlinetta body style is able to generate 820 kg (1,808 lb) of downforce with its optional rear wing.
The engine is reworked by Bosch in order to generate a maximum power output of 400 PS (294 kW 395 hp) at 6,200 rpm and a peak torque of 500 N⋅m (369 lb⋅ft) at 3,000–5,000 rpm.
The Stradale is powered by a 2.3-litre turbocharged Ford EcoBoost Inline-four engine also used in the Ford Focus RS. The first car was delivered to Dallara himself, on the occasion of his 81st birthday, at the company's headquarters in Varano de' Melegari, Italy, in 2017. With a dry weight of 855 kg (1,885 lb), the Stradale has performance comparable to high performance sports cars while being driver-focused. Chassis work was undertaken by former race car driver Loris Bicocchi.ĭallara had been inspired by Colin Chapman's philosophy of lightweight minimalist sports cars and the final product, the Stradale embodied those principals. Hours of wind tunnel testing was performed on the final mockups in order to ensure that the car was aerodynamically refined. The development of such a car was halted six times as the funds received from the completion of projects of other companies were invested in the development of other projects but finally, after accumulating enough funds for the development of a road car, the CEO of the company, Andrea Pontremoli was tasked with the development work.ĭevelopment began in 2015 with design work contracted to Granstudio, a small Italian design consultancy firm located in Turin. Company founder Giampaolo Dallara had the desire to create a car bearing his own name after having worked with various manufacturers and overseeing their projects ranging from the development of Formula 1 and Formula 3 cars as well as Indycars and even designing the chassis of sports cars for other manufacturers, notable manufacturers include Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren and Alfa Romeo.
