Anderson Germany Tuned 430 Scuderia is a Fighter Plane in Disguise


Anderson Germany has taken its tools to the Ferrari 430 Scuderia, preparing this matte gray example. The most obvious exterior change is the fighter plane style paintjob with black bonnet stripes and the carbon fibre door mirrors and rear diffuser.

Anderson has also added carbon fibre to parts of the engine compartment. Black rims with larger tires (235/30 R 20s at the front and 325/25 R 20s at the rear), tinted windows and smoked taillights / indicators round out the exterior package.

Under the hood, the Dusseldorf-based tuners have added a stainless steel exhaust (with three-way adjustable exhaust note), sports air filter and ECU tune, bringing the Scuderia's peak power up to 575 hp.

Inside there is leather and alcantara wrapped seats and the expected carbon fibre touches. A high end sound system with new speakers, amplifier and subwoofer has also been added.

The tuner has not offered any word on pricing or availability.

Push and Pull: Ferrari F430 Spider on a Leash...


Even though it's an unfortunate situation to be in, we hope for the owner's sake that the reason why these men put are pushing and pulling this Ferrari F430 Spider has to do with the snow and the frozen roads, and not something relevant to the story line of the "Gone in 60 Seconds" film...

James Glickenhaus’ Ferrari P4/5 Competizione Starts Taking Shape


In 2006, American car collector James Glickenhaus took the world by surprise with his Enzo-based one-off Ferrari P4/5, built by Pininfarina. In the meantime, Mr. Glickenhaus decided to build a race version, too, dubbed P4/5 Competizione, which, initially, was scheduled to make its racing debut at this year’s 24 Hours of Nürburgring. Unfortunately, that never happened.

However, we're happy to report that the build is still underway. And there’s more: thanks to an update on a dedicated Facebook page, we can show you pictures depicting key moments of the assembly, available after the jump.

The P4/5 Competizione still has a long way to go until it’ll be capable of challenging other renowned racecars, but the featured images are impressive nevertheless.

Engineers made no compromises using carbon fiber for the entire body. Other bits and pieces are also visible, such as the roll-cage, pedals, brakes, various suspension elements and wheels.

As of yet, it’s unknown what Ferrari engine the racecar will use, but it has been revealed that the underpinnings are sourced from an F430 Scuderia.
