More new cars from the Frankfurt motor show include a couple of Ferrari tuners, Hamann and Novitec Rosso, both finding the F430 eminently tunable.

This company claims to extract 533bhp from Ferrari's 4.3-litre V8, up from 490bhp in standard tune. It features a modified exhaust manifold system with special sport catalyst and sports silencer, a modified brake system, a new aerodynamic kit, and special 20-inch wheels.
The total including the car will set you back a cool €175,000 (about £118,000) in Germany, including VAT. Note that, in the UK, the car alone costs that much...
Novitec F430 Coupe F1 Supersport
Novitec, from south Germany, moves the power game on even further, extracting 636bhp via a pair of Rotrex superchargers with their own oil circuit. Torque is up from 343lb-ft to a massive 470lb-ft at 6,250 rpm. Claimed performance is pretty stellar: 0-62mph takes 3.7 seconds and top speed is said to be 217mph.
In addition, you get a high performance braking system with eight-piston calipers at the front and four-piston calipers at the rear gripping 380 mm discs front and rear. Other items include a Novitec KW sports suspension, 19-inch (front) and 20-inch (rear) alloys, aerodynamic body kit, an alcantara and leather interior including a Supersport-design steering wheel. All yours for a cool €222,000 (about £149,500).
Novitec Ferrari F430 F1 Sport Spider
For a little less, you could take the tweaked Spider home. Power is up 100bhp to 520bhp via a Novitec Performance stage 2 system including carbon airbox, modified engine electronics, and sport exhaust system. Torque is up to 361lb-ft at 5,350rpm, powering the open-top to 62mph in 3.9 seconds and a top whack of 200mph. Other additions are as above, and the price is a mere €206,000 (about £138,750).
