The guys at Anderson Germany have blacked out the Ferrari 458 Italia with some interesting tuning. The exotic sports car features a new hood, dark tint, yellow brake calipers, and 21-inch alloy rims along with carbon fiber accents. A carbon fiber diffuser rounds out the rear, while the interior received new Alcantara upholstery, more carbon fiber, and an expensive sound system. The Ferrari 458 is no slouch in the performance department, however Anderson Germany decided to boost the numbers with an ECU upgrade and high performance exhaust system. These modifications allow the Ferrari 4.5-liter V8 engine to produce 623 PS and 636 Nm of torque. Hit the jump for more pictures!

BMW is still working on the production model of the new 5-Series sports car, however tuning companies across Europe like Prior Design are starting to announce the plans with some teaser pictures. Here we have some initial images of the F10 BMW 5-Series, which also were featured on the new 6-Series coupe and convertible models. Prior Design has been limited with the details, but it is obviously that styling package consists of a redesigned front bumper, front lip, hood vents, side skirts, fender vents, new rear bumper, and integrated diffuser holding the four exhaust pipes. The wheels will round out the package, and as we see here a nice set of black alloy rims complete the tuning job for the German BMW M5. More details and final pictures should be released soon.

Here is the latest tuning work from the guys at GeigerCars, based on the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. They are calling it the GT640 Golden Snake since the car now produces 640 PS and 789 Nm of torque from the 5.4-liter V8 engine. It comes equipped with a supercharger, reprogrammed ECU, and stainless steel exhaust system allowing the Mustang sports car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds, before reaching a top speed of 295 km/h (183 mph). However, that’s not all of the tuning it received, the car didn’t get the Golden Snake nickname for no reason.
