Wheelsandmore’s focus has shifted from Mercedes SLR and SLS AMG to a brand with a bit more speed: Ferrari. For the Maranello-based automaker, the German tuner has chosen the F430 to dazzle us with their exterior mods and engine updates. The engine performance kit includes a recalibrated engine control unit and a lightweight, handmade stainless steel exhaust system. The new exhaust system even comes with a stainless steel rear silencer with valve flaps that can be operated with the use of a remote control allowing the driver to adjust the awesome sound shooting out with the touch of a button. The exhaust system alone produces an extra 20hp for the Ferrari, but altogether the modifications increase the horsepower from a standard 490hp to 537hp. Top speed was also increased to 202mph. Next to the engine upgrade, the package also includes a new set of black colored wheels with a fine silver race stripe sizing, 8,5x20 front (tires 235/30/20) and 11,5x20 (tires 325/25/20) at the rear. The performance package is completed by a race suitable stainless steel coilover with adjustable compression and rebound. But that’s just the start of the program. Wheelsandmore has also worked on theF430 Scuderia by adding full exhaust system contending manifolds, sportcatalysts, and a valve controlled rear muffler. Combined with an upgrade of the electronic control units you can get an impressive 565hp and 550 lb-ft. .
23 comments: Ferrari F430 by Wheelsandmore I thought they have already rolls off the Ferrari 430? But well as the predecessor of 458, I still want to see the modification and enhancement on this car.
Its incredible! Nothing like I have seen a low mileage, and all new Ferrari that offers the total luxury!
Great write-up , definitely hit the nail on the head. I wonder how much it helps in fuel economy. I’m betting not much, but at least they’re heading in the right direction.
I really love those Chinese eye looking Headlamps, I looks very aggressive with it, but how about those tiny holes on the head lamps? are they using an LED to those holes?
euro car lover, checkout world class driving. They go to Atlanta and you get to drive more kinds of supercars! I did it with my boyfriend last year and it was AWESOME!!!
Wasn’t there a company that was building hardtops for the open Ferrari’s and Lamborghini’s ? I recall hearing something about that... (in particular in the case of the LP640 roadster, where the factory top is useless)Maybe Ferrari is testing this product in order to give it Ferrari approval ? Doesn’t seem too far off, right ?
Hard tops are great, but the key question is whether or not it comes with a fire extinguisher, preferably one that’s easily accessible from the driver’s seat.
