The custom wheel tuners from Savini Wheels released five creations at the SEMA Show that caught everyone’s attention. Along for the ride were a modified Lamborghini Murcielago, Rolls-Royce Ghost, Ferrari 458, and Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG all sporting a new set of rims and tires. Many also feature carbon fiber accents for the body parts, tinted windows, and a lowered suspension for better handling. Hit the jump to see all the pictures of the tuned cars.
The rim and wheel manufacturers from HRE had a variety of exotic cars at the SEMA Show to showcase their wheels, one being the Oakley Design Ferrari 458 Italia. This car was first released over the summer, with an original production number of five cars all in white. Since then it has been extended to create seven of these automobiles, another white one, and this red one seen here. With the addition of the 20-inch HRE wheels the Ferrari 458 dropped eleven pounds from each corner of the car. Oakley Design then installed a new carbon fiber front lip to increase downforce at the front by more than fifty pounds. A silver rear spoiler delivers an additional 48 pounds of the force to the rear when it is traveling at 150 mph.
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.
Thanks to GTspirit, we can show you what is probably the most expensive Ferrari 16M on the market today. This tuning project features a complete carbon fiber body commissioned by a previous owner from the Ferrari bodywork specialist Carrozzeria Zanasi. The 16M is now for sale at Ferrari Beverly Hills for an insane $650,000. All the exterior panels have been manufactured in carbon fibre, but is that amount of money really worth it? For over half a million dollars you could almost buy three of these cars, one to crash, one to drive, and one to store away forever. However, if you must own the very best, then this Ferrari F430 16M would be the perfect match, because I find it hard to believe anyone will duplicate this ride.
