Inden Design Customizes the Ferrari F430 Spider

A Ferrari, for many, is about as near as automotive perfection as you're likely to find. Inden Design, however, says that near perfection isn't quite enough. And so the German tuning house, known primarily for their custom Mercedes line, has come out with a set of modifications for the Ferrari F430 Spider.

The list of mods includes updated engine management software and a custom exhaust to bring power output up by 35 horses to 525. The suspension has been tightened up and is mounted to 20-inch multi-spoke wheels wearing ultra low-profile tires. A new aerodynamic kit includes a front splitter, side skirts and a custom diffuser at the back, while the interior has been upgraded with a touch of extra leather and carbon fiber... you know, just in case there wasn't enough there already. All of this adds up to a modestly modified Prancing Horse that, as a matter of taste, may be that much closer to perfection for some, or that much further for others.

Tattoo'd & Tuned: Ferrari F430 Calavera by Unique Sportscars and Novitec Rosso

Some things are exclusive because they're only available in limited quantities. Others are exclusive because few people actually want them. Under which category the Ferrari F430 Calavera falls is entirely a matter of taste. A joint effort by Unique Sportscars and Novitec Rosso, the Calavera takes the Ferrari supercar into questionable territory by enlisting the services of airbrush artist Knud Tiroch, who decorates the exotic with all manner of tattoo-style decoration, skulls and all. Novitec was brought in to give the Calavera the bite to go with its bark, strapping on not one, but two superchargers to boost power output up to 707 horsepower, driving it up to sixty in three and a half seconds and on to a top speed of 216 miles per hour. A tweaked suspension and aero kit round out the package, while Unique Sportscars has customized the interior as well for that, well...unique feeling. Only eleven examples will be produced, but whether that's a matter of exclusivity or optimism is, after all, a matter of taste.

Ferrari Donates Special-Edition F430 for Abruzzo Disaster Relief

The annual Leggenda e Passione auction at the Ferrari factory in Maranello always features a staggering array of unique sports and racing cars from the company's history, and this year's is shaping up to be no exception. Among the myriad historic Ferraris heading up on the block this weekend, Alain Prost's F1 car, a 330 P4 Le Mans racer and a unique 250 Testa Rossa are headlining in the event. But Ferrari has just added one more vehicle to the docket: a special one-off F430 to raise funds for relief work in the Abruzzo region of Italy, which was struck by a devastating earthquake last month.

The special-edition supercar will be the last F430 off the assembly line when production ends later this year to make way for the next-generation model. It will be painted silver and gold, the colors of the city of Aquila that bore the brunt of the disaster, and come equipped with an array of extra features from Ferrari's extensive customization catalog. The special F430 will be auctioned off at the event, with proceeds going to disaster relief in Abruzzo.
