The Ferrari F430 is on its way out, making way for its replacement tipped to
debut at the Frankfurt show.
Ferrari itself is saying goodbye with a special edition to be auctioned off
for charity, but a pair of German firms has collaborated to send off the F430 in
its own unique brand of style.
A joint effort by a company called Unique Sportscars and the Novitec Rosso
tuning house we've come to know for its turbo- and supercharged Prancing Horses,
the F430 Calavera seems to answer questions nobody was asking, namely, what
would a Ferrari look like if it spent too much time on Venice Beach? Well here
you have it.
The Calavera is characterized by a (thankfully) unique tattoo-style paint job
by airbrush artist Knud Tiroch.
From there, Novitec has given the F430 its full workover, complete with twin
superchargers to deliver 707 horsepower – more than Novitec's own 656hp F430
Evoluzione, and about par with its TuNero version – plus the requisite 20"
wheels and an adjustable suspension.
Unique and Novitec have also modified the interior and added a strip of
daytime running lights along the front splitter, integrating into the Novitec
body kit. All the mods help the custom exotic hit sixty in 3.5 seconds en route
to a claimed top speed of 216 mph.
Unique Sportscars says they'll only build 11 examples, and with no accounting
for taste, it's anyone's guess whether they'll sell that many. Size it up in the
gallery below and press release and slideshow video after the jump.
