When tuners get their hands on cars, you never know how it's going to turn out. Some do remarkable jobs while others go far over the top.

I can understand why as a lot of these products are actually show cars being used to draw attention; however, when you see that folks are fully modifying their daily drivers with body kits and 6,000 horsepower motors you have to ask "really?"

It's akin to couture fashion. You don't expect to see someone out on the street wearing a garbage bag held together with two pins but once and a while you do.

Now, Ferrari is an interesting marque to tune up. Their cars are already pretty extreme from the factory but some folks want a bit more. I've seen some horrible Ferrari creations come out of tuners, but it seems one **MAY** have gotten it right.

That, my friends, would be A. Kahn Design. It recently showed off photos of a Grigio Alloy 458 Spyder and I have to say it was very impressive to see. The color reminds me of Azzurro California with its subtle hint of blue.

The lowered stance is a welcome addition as are the new wheels. Kahn says it did some work to the interior but from the shots we've got I am not spotting any changes.

Take a look and weigh in: is the Kahn modified Ferrari 458 Italia Spyder a STUD or a DUD?


Kahn's release follows:

Do supercar owners stick with the kudos to match ownership of intricate vehicles, or do they purchase something that has the looks, sound, speed and handling of a real supercar?

Marking an evolution as opposed to a revolution - the Kahn Ferrari 458 Spider is the perfect car.

Welcome, to the new world of the Ferrari 458 Spider. Shrouded in voluptuous Grigio Alloy couture, the Kahn styling package comes complete with a lowered suspension, front sections, matt rear styling detail, black painted calipers and state of the art Monza forged alloy wheels (finished in the colour of your choice & fit all original centre caps), and the majestic 180 number plate, ensure a mighty presence on the road.

This convertible is the right choice for people who want to be seen and heard. Ferrari has discarded the fabric roof in favor of a folding hardtop. The roof folds in 14 seconds, and is 25kg lighter than the equivalent.

Inside is the ‘bespoke touch’, and the Kahn Ferrari 458 Spider scores profoundly with a rather luxurious Nero interior.

Don’t feel limited by what we have done to the Kahn Ferrari Spider. If you, for example want a car with a full colour change (to a colour of your choice) and an interior akin to, let’s say your favourite leather reclining chair in your living room, we will be more than happy to oblige.

A. Kahn Design is for the individual who will not submit to a life of uniformity and who will only accept perfection. Dedicated to the creation of luxury bespoke vehicles, we redesign the ordered monotony of mass produced vehicles and rebuild them into individually tailored creations.
