Anderson Germany decided to reveal a new tuning package able to transform your F430 Spider into the Scuderia Spider 16M and even more. This conversion package developed by the German tuners brings both aesthetic and performance upgrades, actually providing significant more power comparing to standard Scuderia Spider 16M.
The Dusseldorf-based tuning house brought some power improvements able to clearly exceed the standard output of the Scuderia Spider 16M but also provides aesthetic tweaks able to improve the appearance.
For the beginning, Anderson Germany offers a body kit which includes featuring a rear apron, side skirts and front air dam while Scuderia Stripes and contrasting yellow borders complete the styling tweaks alongside the Hyper Black paint. The German tuners opted for smoked front and rear optical blocks, a set of 20-inch alloy wheels with 235 (front) and 325 (rear) tires but also new carbon fiber rear diffuser, side mirrors and engine grille.
The Italian model gets rid of around 30 kilograms due to a new three-level adjustable racing suspension with heat protection while the new braking system features yellow brake calipers which match with the exterior accents and interior stitching. Inside, Anderson Germany opted for Alcantara and carbon black leather but also for yellow diamond Kederrand seams while the door handles, door sills, handbrake lever, shift paddles and steering wheel receive carbon fiber trim.
As mentioned above, the Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M Conversion Edition brings some significant power upgrades over the standard version. To be more precise, the Germans managed to raise the total output to 561 horsepower, an increase of 78 horses comparing to the standard Ferrari F430 Spider. Moreover, the conversion kit is able to provide extra 58 horsepower comparing to the Scuderia Spider 16M, which is not a negligible quantity. In order to achieve these results, Anderson Germany fitted the Italian model with an optimized ECU unit revised headers but also high-performance Renn-Kats catalytic converters.
For now, the German tuning company released no pricing for this conversion kit but you can find all the important details by contacting them.
Rikk 30 Jun, 2011After Mercedes invented the concept of a four door coupe it was amazing to see how VW and Audi got themselves a piece of the market while BMW stood idling by.
It took several years, but come 2010, BMW unveiled the Gran Coupe Concept in Beijing. This was the first step the Bavarians took in the direction of the four door coupe market.
Even though there was a sustained period of silence on the matter, some leaked patent drawings gave us hope of BMW finally stepping up and making one.
Some very fast fingered spy photographers snapped a few shots of what appears to be a BMW 6 Series with two extra doors.
Since BMW’s 2012 6 Series hasn’t seen objections from reviewers about missing some doors or anything our best guess is that this is the desired model we were speaking of earlier.
Unofficially named the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe, it is a car that’s around a year away from launch but, unsurprisingly, there isn’t a lot of camouflage on it.
BMW is aware that the design (and probably a lot of the underpinnings) is a reheated soup affair so they’ve masked up just the details that are bound to change.
The spyshots reveal a new design for the headlights and apart from that we find that most of the front actually remains intact.
Camouflage gets busy round at the design of the doors both the front and rear ones. Predictably, the least revealed aspect of the newly spied BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe is the rear roof line, the trunk and the rear light cluster.
Dimension wise, it looks like the BMW Gran Coupe we saw in Beijing a year ago and overall, it looks pretty good, or at least that’s what I think.
Under that long lustrous bonnet most of the world will have a 320 horsepower 3.0 liter turbocharged inline-six or a 407 horsepower turbocharged 4.4 liter V8.
Europeans get a considerably longer list of engine choices as there’s also a six-cylinder turbo diesel, one of the finest ones available but still a lot less glamorous then other choices.
In short, the BMW 6 Series engine lineup, the eight-speed automatic transmission and the 6 speed manual gearbox will get to live again in the shape of a four door coupe.
At best and earliest, an official release for the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe can take place at the Frankfurt Motor Show this fall.
