  • Capristo With Another Ferrari 458 Spider

    There doesn’t seem to be something out of the ordinary with this Capristo Ferrari 458 Spider. Yes, it’s shockingly yellow, but there are no bumpers, or skirts, or diffusers, or wings, stuff that you’d normally find on an after market product. It is an universal truth that the 458 needs little improvement, yet this one does sport a few changes here and there.

    Take the engine cover/lid for example – its entirely new. Capristo’s reasoning is that the standard one is too obstructive, hindering the vista of the glorious V8 that hides underneath. This one, as you can see, is rather transparent. Not only that but it now has more vents and bigger air-scoops for an increased stream of cooling air. You’d think that a Ferrari doesn’t need any adjustments in the thermodynamic compartment, but there might be some logic behind the Capristo 458’s flamboyant ports. See, the Sundern-based company also bolted on a bigger airbox from “baked carbon” which, supposedly, increases the torque with 25 Nm.

    Add to that a custom-made exhaust system, and you have a brilliantly sounding yellow jacket that stings with 562 hp and 565 Nm. Ouch!

    This is not the first time Capristo have enhanced a 458 Spider with their idea of an engine cover

  • Capristo Ferrari 458 Spider Shows New Hood

    Capristo-Ferrari-458-Spider-THUMBCapristo Ferrari 458 Spider has come to amaze the automotive world even more, not only with its natural Ferrari 458 Spider characteristics but also with its new “noble” hood. The 458 Spider debuted back in 2011 differing from the coupe version with its metal roof of aluminum which disappears under the engine hood in only 14 seconds.

    In this current transformation we have more aesthetic element rather then power increase or something related. To be more precise, the cover of the Ferrari has been remade by the specialist from Capristo team.

    They have created an engine cover that allows these abundant envious looks of the engine. With the centrally lengthwise inlaid glass, the desired view of the V8 rumble-engine is again free. In addition, this results not only in better look, but also in better cooling thanks to the additional vents in the new engine cover.
