It is difficult to discuss a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano F1 without a twinge of reverential melancholy.

Without question Ferrari cars are among the most powerful and most expensive sports cars in the world today and for good reason, under the careful watch of Enzo Ferrari the Ferrari brand has consistently put out excellent motor vehicles exuding class and prestige on the outside with extreme power in the engine bay.

Their trademark cherry red colours are synonymous with the prancing pony sports cars and their rarity on the roads is bound to draw stares as much as the roar of the engine.  It isn’t just on the road where you will find the Ferrari brand leading the way, Ferrari are currently riding high with their Formula One team in a constant battle for points with the McLaren Mercedes team at the top of the table. 

A lot of the technologies used in the manufacture of their street cars such as the Ferrari Enzo or F360 are derived from the Formula One experience of the brand and so you know you’re going to get the best of the best.  But, what if the best isn’t enough?  What if you want that little bit more to make your Ferrari that extra bit more unique?

If you are looking to customize your Ferrari then you’ll not need to do too much as almost all models are built perfect for whatever use you plan for your car.  But as with all motor sports there is always a way to shave a few milliseconds off track times or ways to improve handling for your everyday driving.

Whilst they are built for sport primarily there are still some areas where you can squeeze out some extra performance points such as handling improvements like third party sports braking systems or extreme measures to increase power such as adding twin turbo chargers by having a complete engine conversion.  You may think that slight changes won’t mean much but many Ferrari tuning companies out there swear by customising the ride of your Ferrari so that you are both comfortable with the ride and the power.

If you are really after a truly unique look to your Ferrari then you’ll find plenty of examples of external modifications like body kit replacements and carbon fibre elements in Ferrari tuning pictures as well as dedicated tuning teams like Novitec Rosso who have made custom editions of the F430 Scuderia in the past.

So there you go, it goes to show that if you’re going to own a Ferrari then there are plenty of options available to make sure that yours stands out in a crowd, even if the crowd is a Ferrari owners club you can still be the king of the hill with a little extra work!

Ferrari and HAMANN - a combination to set the pulse racing of all fans of Italian sports cars. The vehicle tuning specialist from Laupheim, Germany, has various new details and a power boost up its sleeve for the latest model from the Maranello stable.

The power is produced by fitting an HAMANN high-performance sports header (export only), including racing catalytic converters, to generate an extra 39 kW/53 bhp. This takes the peak power output of this 6 l V12 engine, already familiar to us from the Ferrari Enzo, up to a majestic 673 bhp. You will rarely encounter more power than this on the open road. As a result, HAMANN has reduced the power-to-weight ratio from 2.5 to 2.3 kg per bhp. (more…)

This is what Ferrari convertible drivers have been waiting for! The engineers at sports car specialist HAMANN have designed an extensive aerodynamics package for the Ferrari F430 Spider, which takes elements from motor racing while at the same time expressing sheer understatement. (more…)
