Ferrari F430 modified

Based on the shores of Lake Biwa in Japan is a tuning company called Auto Veloce. Now normally when a high end tuning outfit decides to develop some aftermarket aerodynamic body panels for exotic machinery they try to expand on the original vehicle with sympathetic upgrades designed to reflect and enhance the original designers vision. Not so with Auto Veloce. They've decided to spit in the face of Ferrari by developing a range of accessories for the F430 which are unashamedly influenced by the styling of Ferrari's main rival Lamborghini.

Essentially the kit comprises of a new front bumper with two large angular intakes positioned and shaped just like those found on the Lamborghini Gallardo. Then for the sideskirts Auto Veloce have created some beefier units which are almost carbon copies of those found on the Murcielago LP640. At the rear the F430 gets a rather busy looking diffuser and a massive rear wing.

So if you're torn between buying an F430 and a Gallardo your answer has arrived. You will however have to hand over a lot of money, and all your taste, in return.

No mechanical upgrades are included in the package so unless the changes have added a load of weight or added a bunch of drag, the F430 SVR from Auto Veloce should hit 60 mph in around 4 seconds, and top out at just under 200 mph
