Anderson Germany has released this Ferrari F430 Scuderia, which looks like it’s still in the primer stage of the paint job. However, this is the real paint and a complete tuning job of a car that looks like it has fighter plane style with black bonnet stripes, carbon fiber door mirrors, and a rear diffuser. Anderson also added carbon fibre parts to the engine bay, then moved onto installing black rims with larger tires, tinted windows, smoked taillights, and indicators to round out the exterior styling. Under the hood of the Ferrari F430 is where the Dusseldorf-based tuners focused next.

Check out the video and pictures from the Skyfox helicopter news crew in Boston, catching this truck literally dropping off a Ferrari F430. The truck driver’s boss told him to deliver this Ferrari to Ernie Boch’s luxury car dealership in Norwood, which is right outside of Boston, but they didn’t have anything close to this in mind. This expensive drop off was covered by the news crew who felt the need to send their helicopter to capture the evidence. A simple camera would have been fine, however it looks like the mechanism on the rear end of the truck had failed. It’s hard to tell whether this is a human error or mechanical error, but a costly mistake at that considering it could have been the next best tuning project.
