Ferrari 458 Black Carbon Edition by Anderson Germany Goes to the Dark Side

Challenging the notion that a true Ferrari has to be red, Anderson Germany has whipped up a murdered out 458 Italia with both styling and mechanical upgrades. Starting with the visible modifications, Anderson Germany's Ferrari 458 is finished in a black color and features a carbon fiber package that includes a pair of vents on the front hood, spoiler lips, rear diffuser and exterior mirrors. The German tuner also tinted the Italian supercar’s windows, headlamps and taillights.

The exterior look is rounded off with a new set of 21-inch alloy wheels in a carbon finish that are shod in tires size 245 up front and 345 at the rear, and brake calipers finished in a contrasting yellow color.

The carbon fiber theme is continued inside with the lightweight material making its appearance on the air vents, center console, door handles, door sills, steering wheel, instrument panel, shift paddles, and even the seat adjustment handles. The tuner also dressed the seats and the door panels in mixture of black carbon leather and black alcantara with diamond seams. A high-end entertainment system completes the interior upgrades.

Few will complain about the 570 ponies and 540Nm offered up by Ferrari’s run-of-the-mill 4.5-liter V8 engine, but for those that do, Anderson Germany offers a performance programme that includes an ECU optimization and a custom exhaust system with special manifolds and Rennkats boosting output to 623HP and 636Nm (469 lb-ft).

The German tuner did not release pricing information on the 458 Italia Black Carbon package.

Anderson Germany’s Evil Looking Aston Martin DBS

It’s nearly universally agreed that the Aston Martin DBS has one of the most elegant designs in the supercar segment, but that doesn’t mean there’s no room for improvement - especially when it’s tastefully done. Anderson Germany’s new package for the DBS falls into that category with the tuner playing around with the black and red color theme inside and out.

The DBS’s exterior is dressed in a matte black foil wrap and matching color alloy wheels in a five-spoke design. The red-colored brake calipers and Aston Martin logos offer a sharp contrast against the body.

More time was spent in the interior with Anderson Germany covering the cabin in a combination of black leather with a quilted theme and contrasting red seams and alcantara, plus carbon fiber trim.

The German tuner did not say if it made any performance modifications to the engine and chassis.
