The tuning folks at Anderson Germany have spiced up the Ferrari California for those looking for a more custom look. This Italian hardtop convertible carries a 4.3-liter V8 under the hood, developing 460 hp from the factory. Anderson Germany tuned it up to raise the horsepower by 55 for a total of 515 horsepower, thanks to a re-calibrated ECU and valve controlled high performance exhaust system. Three different sound modes for the exhaust are available via remote control in the cockpit. Extra performance enhancements to the Ferrari California include electronically adjustable dampers to lower the ride height by 35 mm or raise the car 40 mm. A new set of alloy wheels were also installed with the rim painted the same color as the car, and come wrapped in high performance tires.
