Ferrari 430 Scuderia Michael Schumacher


One of the great perks of being a 'VIP' of a particular product or brand means special invites/offers, freebies and what not. When it comes to cars, you might get the odd free floor mats, key chain and umbrella thrown in with your purchase of a Toyota Camry but when you are a VIP of supercar maker Ferrari, you get invited for a spin around the Fiorano racetrack in a 430 Scuderia with no other than seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher behind the driver's seat.





It appears this special event was staged to mark the launch of the 430 Scuderia, a track-ready version of the 'standard' 430 model, which Schumacher helped fine-tune during the development phase.

Check out the video to see Ferrari VIPs grinning from ear to ear and a brief interview with the legendary race driver himself.

Edo Competition Ferrari Enzo


It's difficult to comprehend how the Ferrari Enzo, one of the highest performance cars in the world, would require any further tuning for extra performance but famous Ferrari and Porsche tuner edo Competition have done just that.

Changes have been made to the powertrain in the form of new exhaust headers, high-flow catalytic converter, performance muffler, modified intake with ram-air system, high-flow air filters and ECU recalibration. The tweaked Enzo now boasts 514 kW at 8200 rpm and 715 Nm of torque at 5800 rpm.

All that power is harnessed onto the road through a new sport suspension with adjustable compression and rebound damping. The useful nose lift functionality is retained should you wish to take the edo-tuned Ferrari out for shopping at your local Westfields.

Aerodynamic and cosmetic tweaks include a subtle bodykit, new 19-inch (20'' at the rear) wheels, and smoked taillights. What we love the most is how the sound level on the stainless steel exhausts with adjustable remote-controlled butterfly-valve can be adjusted at the push of a button!

The edo competition Ferrari Enzo can sprint from 0 - 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds and has a top speed of more than 370 km/h.
