something really special …
… edo competition presents the California Spider with fine accessories

The Ferrari 599, 612 and 430 have had offspring. The open two-seater, dubbed the California Spider, with its retractable aluminum hard top is the new entry level model among the sports car offerings from Maranello. Having been introduced to the world at the Paris Motor Show last October, the California Spider can now be admired on our roads, too.

For those who wish to further personalize the appearance and performance of this exceptional sports car, edo competition is now offering very special accessories.

Newly-developed wheel/tire sets in 20 and 21 inches are guaranteed to draw amazed looks from passers-by. The wheels are available in several attractive designs. Customers can also opt for a lowered ride height or the addition of a sport suspension system. The sport suspension is adjustable in both compression and rebound damping, allowing for a custom tailored ride for cruising, spirited driving, or competition.

To make sure the performance of a vehicle as special as the California is up to par in all aspects, edo competition also offers custom ECU recalibration. After reprogramming the production ECU, the 8-cylinder engine now generates 367 kW (500HP) and 369 ft-lb of torque at 5,200 rpm. In addition to the recalibrated electronics edo competition can install a newly-developed high performance exhaust system featuring adjustable butterfly valves and custom designed high flow catalytic converters with a 200 cell per square inch metal core.

This well-matched combination enables the engine to develop its new-found power in an impressive manner. The treatment also provides a torque increase that is particularly noticeable in everyday driving. As a result, the performance figures of the edo California Spider are improved as well: It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in a phenomenal 3.9 seconds and the top speed is an impressive 315 km/h (196 mph).

As with all edo competition models, we set no limit to our customers’ imaginations. Special interiors or lavish leather upholstery, individual requests are accommodated and executed with quality.

All modifications are carried out exclusively at edo competition Motorsport GmbH in Ahlen.

First of all, the California costs more than the F430 coupe, so it's not "the entry level model". Second, the people who ordered those cars are going to be PISSED when they find out turners are already getting cars to chop up before most customers have theirs.

It's not so much tuners getting the cars but the first owners sending their car over to the tuners. There is little Ferrari can do about that.

I assume Ferrari keeps pretty close tabs on their customers. If they see somebody tuning a Ferrari they could refuse them in the future. Probably'd piss a lotta people off, but if they're worried about pure blood, it's one of the few things I can think for them to do.

If they were worried about such a thing they wouldn't have made the California in the first place.

Was about to edit my post to similar effect.

So, I suppose, this is the California's calling. Big reeims, gold-plated fart cans, and a big sound system; coming to a California to you.
"Eureka!"

I couldn't have said it better myself.

plus, for (much) later,(and in the unlikely case that some rapper did not already hang it around a tree) this car will not receive a Classiche Certificate...

I was always under the impression that this was supposed to be the entry level model. If its not, what then is the point of the car? They may as well have just chopped the roof off the 599 , rather than bring out a whole new car.

They loose the warranty, just Stola and Novitec are allowed to tune Ferraris being also technical partners involved in the design.

There's no such thing as a good tuner.

Those with a function as that mentioned above.
So basically a lot of the German ones, but I consider them "good" only when they are designing the real thing, then when they sold some Cayenne/Touareg/Q7/whatever-based abomination, they loose all my "appreciation".

See, now that is simply untrue and stupid.
Abarth, Alpine, Yenko, and others.
Sure most tuners are shit, but that is a pretty grievous oversimplification and generalization.

Alpina is registered as a car maker, not as a tuner.
Abarth was a brand, now it's a badge.

KFL's modified Maseratis are pretty sick though.

To appeal at blondes who can't drive.

The 599 has some integrity issues regarding the roof, we are not going to see a production version of a open top 599, maybe just a limited edition a la Superamerica.

The California on the other hand is the basis of the new F151 (aka 612's replacement) and of the next Maserati Quattroporte.
