Wimmer RS Ferrari F430 Spider

Be on the lookout at the Essen Motor Show for the Ferrari F430 Spider that the tuners at Wimmer RS have been working on. Wimmer’s refinement program is said to take the famous red sports car to a whole new level due to its striking sport characteristics and dynamics. Wimmer gave the car a specially developed power kit, which can be heard and felt.

The package consists of new Wimmer engine control software and sport valve exhaust system with remote control. Fitted with the new power pack, the Wimmer’s 4.3 liter V8 petrol engine generates 38 hp (28kW) more than the stock output of 483 hp (360kW). This makes the car achieve a top speed increase to 199 mph (321 km/h). The F430 is able to accelerate from 0-62 mph (o-100 km/h) in just 3.84 seconds. The refined Ferrari also has the KW HLS system (Hydraulic Lift System) that lifts up the front axle with 45 mm if needed. To reinforce the F430′s ultimate sport appeal, the car was given 19″ BBS FI alloy rims wrapped in speed tires from Dunlop in dimensions 225/35 R 19 on the front axle and 305/30 R 19 on the rear one.

Wimmer Ferrari Performance Kit is topical at the Essen Motor Show. For Ferrari F430 Wimmer RS has developed a Power Packet that can be heared and felt. The kit includes new Wimmer engine control software and sport valve exhaust system. With the use of remote control a driver can choose between nearly serial sport sound and racing sound. In addition the handbuilt high grade steel exhaust system that optimizes dynamic pressure contains two welded high grade steel exhaust manifolds as well as two sport catalytic converters and an exhaust valves control unit. Upon the whole the new performance kit provides for the sensible increase of 38 hp in engine power what corresponds to the speed increase of about 11km/h, with maximum speed reaching 321 km/h. For acceleration up to 100 km/h F430  needs now just 3.84 seconds. 200 kph speed is reached within 11.03 seconds and 300 kph – within 34.9 seconds.

Now the program includes also new KW HLS system (Hydraulic Lift System): when you push the button, the vehicle equipped with KW HLS is adjusted by up to 45 mm on the front axle. Thus the obstacles that cannot be overcome with low ground clearance, can be driven over without any problems. The hydraulic unit is mounted on the coilovers between spring cups and springs. The advantage of the hydraulic system consists in the fact that no compression (movement) of moving-out cylinder unit (thus no undesired additional elastic deflection) occurs while driving.

19″ BBS FI alloy rims (7.6 kg each front axle rim and 8.8 kg each rear axle rim) on? more time emphasize its sport characteristics. High class super light BBS alloy rims in black are comleted by 8.75×19 with 225/35 R 19 tyres on the front axle and 11.25×19 with 305/30 R19 tyres on the rear axle. High speed tyres are presented by the technology partner Dunlop.
