German tuning company Inden Design has taken the Ferrari F430 Spider under their wing, enhancing both looks and performance. To improve the aerodynamics, Inden Design installed a modified front spoiler to redirect airflow, keeping the car stuck to the pavement. The customized side vents, both lower and upper contribute to better aerodynamics while adding to the sports car look. In the rear of the Ferrari F430 Spider is a carbon fiber diffuser and rear valence to increase the balance and stability of the vehicle. Larger lightweight rims measuring 20×8.5 in the front, and 20×12 in the rear were added. High performance tires were installed on the wheels, and they measure 235/30 R20 in the front, and a massive 325/25 R20 in the rear. These additions, not mentioning the performance upgrades yet, aid in allowing this Ferrari F430 to reach a top speed of 300 km/h.
