Remember the packages offered by German tuner, Graf Weckerle, for the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano and the Aston Martin DBS? These packages just oozed style and sophistication with engine upgrades, quality upgrades, and those infamous Fleur-de-Lis ornamental wheels, but not much else was done after those two packages and we were kind of bummed to see the streak end so fast. Thankfully, Jameslist has come to our rescue with another creation from the dynamic duo of Alexander C. Graf and Tim Weckerle. And yes, those artistically interesting wheels are back.
Their uncovered tuning package was created for the Ferrari 458 Italia which is currently on sale on Jameslist, with prices available upon request. The Ferrari is painted in white and is combined with black and red stripes streaming down the side of the car. The trademark 21" forged Fleur de Lis ornamental Graf Weckerle wheels are instantly recognizable. These wheels are hand-assembled and come with 184 individual pieces. The package also includes a progressive lowering coil springs system that will improve the car’s dynamics. Unlike the other vehicles created by the tuning form, however, the interior is modified only upon the customer’s request.
Graf Weckerle isn’t known for crazy power upgrades, but they do provide an extra bit of oomph thanks to a stainless steel sports exhaust system and an engine performance upgrade. These final touches leave the sportscar with a 610 HP bark, up from the standard 570 HP.
