The car’s appearance and handling are further improved with NOVITEC ROSSO sport springs and high-tech forged wheels with diameters of up to 22 inches.

The 6.3 liter naturally aspirated V12 is boosted to whopping 764HP (562 kW) at 8,500RPM and the maximum torque is 703Nm (518 lb-ft) at 6,300RPM.

For added utility the German specialists equip the F12berlinetta with a lifting system for the front axle. At the push of a button in the cockpit the front of the car can be raised by 40 mm to facilitate navigating obstacles such as underground garage entrance ramps or speed humps. Upon reaching a speed of 80 km/h the suspension automatically reverts to its original position.

Pure Focus: Vorsteiner Ferrari 599-VX

Vorsteiner Ferrari 599-VX is now out enhancing the fluidic natural lines and essence of the emblematic car. As a true Ferrari, this vehicle is pure perfection, which now is even more perfect.

The tuners from Vorsteiner have enhanced the aerodynamics of this icon in several ways. First of all they have added a 599-VX Front Bumper with integrated spoiler and thus have improved the front end. The pieces of it serve in such way that they keep the functionality without making any compromise on quality, aesthetics, or performance.

In addition, this also contributes to a leap from sports to a race car. Using the latest in carbon technology, Vorsteiner were able to create a tuning program that offers incredible weight savings over the factory pieces.

Next added here are the 599-VX Carbon Fiber Vented Race Hood and the 599-VX Carbon Fiber Side Sill Extension Blades, which gives a subtle aggressive look to the Ferrari. Saving weight from the factory hood it seamlessly adds a muscular sophistication on its sculpted body. This part gives superior stiffness, aerospace strength and more durability.

599-VX Carbon Fiber Rear Bumper and the 599-VX Carbon Fiber Deck Lid Spoiler on the other hand keep Ferrari’s race heritage. Here, the inclusion of the rear bumper with integrated diffuser was designed in order to stabilize the additional down force provided by the front and side elements.

At last, some small details contribute to the overall new feeling that the car delivers to the driver and occupants. Such for instance are the 4-piece Vorsteiner 599-VX Floor Mats, which were designed to precisely fit and accent the car. Adding more luxury and durability, they were made with slip resistant material that keeps the shape and form of the mat.

Ferrari 458 Spider Through the Eyes of a Photographer

Have you ever wondered how a beast such as a Ferrari 458 Spider will look like through the lenses of a professional photographer? Well, if you have – here some great pictures which are going to “take your mind away”!

The perfection of the emblematic red sportscar is simply perfectly presented in a summer evening at the London Docklands. The contrast color of the Ferrari ideally emerges from the dark grey background of the city.

The 458 Spider debuted as this year’s model back in 2011. It widened Ferrari’s mid-rear engined V8s range, thus offering the same uncompromising technological solutions, handling and performance in a refined open-top configuration.

The car’s naturally-aspirated, direct-injection 4.5 litre V8 engine generates 578 horsepower (425 kW) at 540 Nm (398 lb-ft) of torque, making it easy for this “red beast” to reach its maximum speed of 320 km/h (198 mph) effortlessly.

Another important number here is the acceleration time which this Ferrari has for the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h – it is under 3.4 seconds. In fact, the engine it uses was nominated as the 2011 International Engine of the Year for its engineering excellence in terms of driveability, performance, economy and refinement.

The power of the 458 Spider is transferred to the road by Ferrari’s class-leading dual-clutch F1 paddle-shift transmission through the sophisticated E-Diff, itself integrated with the F1-Trac traction control and high-performance ABS for maximum handling dynamics.

It has two moving parts that slot neatly into a gap between the engine and the seats. Furthermore, it needs relatively compact space to house the folding hardtop. This however means that there’s a small rear luggage bench.

The interior of course is more than outstanding. Inside is the “bespoke touch” of Kahn Design can be seen. In details, this particular vehicle comes with leather electric sports seats.

Next, the Ferrari rides on Kahn wheels, which sit perfectly on it. They convey the essence of the vehicle’s identity.
