Tuners: 2004 Novitec Ferrari Modena F360
Why not designer threads, too? Body/aero mods include front bumper, side panels, rear diffuser, rear wing, carbon rear grille, and taillights ($17,394). Inside upgrades are carbon-fiber and include a center console, radio cover, instrument panel, door panels, and door-sill plates ($6144).
Enjoying all these prancing horses requires an intercooled checkbook, as the F360's tally of upgrades rings in at over $100 grand--more than the sticker on a host of nice sports cars. And the performance improvements are impressive, but not mind-blowing. But why should you care? A quicker, better-handling, unique Novitec F360 would become your company car anyway, making it a big--and fast--tax write-off.
