We’ll have to be completely honest with you, we are not too fond of the concept of upgrading Ferrari models in any way. They are masterpieces right from the factory, and by trying to change that, you run the risk of completely ruin that Ferrari look. In the case of this Ferrari upgrade by Capristo, however, we feel the tuner did a pretty good job at revising the 458 Spider without changing a lot of the car’s elements. From the looks of things, all of the changes it made fit in well with the character of the 458, while making it look a little bit more aggressive. Capristo wanted to give the 458 a look to match its 562-horsepower, V-8 engine, so it replaced the original engine cover, which doesn’t give you a good look at the mighty engine, and replaced it with one that features glass viewing pane and extra vents to more effectively draw the heat away from the engine compartment.

Lambo lovers around the world will love what artist Alexander Mijares did to this precious Lamborghini Gallardo. For Art Basel Miami Beach a short while ago, Mijares grabbed some paint and covered the blue whip in his signature floral pattern while Nue Vue Photography recorded the process. Purists can relax though, the car was wrapped prior to painting by Superior Auto Design in Pompano Beach, Florida, so really Mijares was painting vinyl and the metal underneath was safe.

What is it about supercars that makes us weak in the knees? Surely, the elegant body lines have something to do with it, as does the breathtaking exhaust note. Perhaps on some level, even the fact that the doors open in a bizzare way is enough to stop us in our tracks. But the real reason car enthusiasts are enthralled by these vehicular works of art has to be the performance index. Don’t you wish you can see this on our roads?
