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.

Auto Veloce Ferrari F430 gets Lambo Styling

The Japanese tuning firm at Auto Veloce have now given the Ferrari F430 some Lamborghini styling with a new body kit. Typically it’s hard to mistake a Lambo from a Ferrari and vice versa, but this time you can call it either and still be correct. This new Ferrari look is called SVR from Auto Veloce, which stands for Super Veloce Racing, so we can expect to see more of this car at shows and racing events.

To start, these tuning specialists re calibrated the engine control unit and added a performance exhaust, increasing the cars overall power to about 525 HP, not to mention speeds in excess of 200 mph.
