Anderson has also added carbon fibre to parts of the engine compartment. Black rims with larger tires (235/30 R 20s at the front and 325/25 R 20s at the rear), tinted windows and smoked taillights / indicators round out the exterior package.
Under the hood, the Dusseldorf-based tuners have added a stainless steel exhaust (with three-way adjustable exhaust note), sports air filter and ECU tune, bringing the Scuderia's peak power up to 575 hp.
Inside there is leather and alcantara wrapped seats and the expected carbon fibre touches. A high end sound system with new speakers, amplifier and subwoofer has also been added.
The tuner has not offered any word on pricing or availability.

Each coaster vehicle in this particular ride is a replica of a Ferrari F430 Spider that can seat up to four people. According to Ferrari, the GT Racing Coaster will send two competing roller coaster carriages dashing along twisting parallel tracks on a race to the finish line.
Aside from the GT Racing Coaster there will also be an F1 ride which is said to be world's fastest roller coaster travelling at speeds in excess of 200 km/h (125mph) and shooting passengers more than 62 m through the roof and back down again to offer them a G-force experience.
The world's first Ferrari theme park and the largest attraction of its kind is scheduled to open on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi in the second half of 2010. For more information on the park, click here to check out our previous post.

Ever wonder what's the procedure for wrapping a car in vinyl film? Well here's your chance to see a Ferrari F430 receiving a matte black makeover by Creative FX, a company that specializes in vinyl wrappings. What impressed us the most and at the same time gave us a scare, is the skillful use of a regular box cutter to remove the excess pieces of vinyl by the firm's employees - can you imagine being the owner of the Ferrari and seeing someone knifing out your car? Watch the video after the jump.
Joining the insane 827HP Porsche 911 GT2 Speed at Wimmer RS's booth at the 2009 Essen Motor Show is the Ferrari F430 Scuderia, a subtly tuned version of the F430 Spider model. Performance modifications include a power pack that comprises of an upgraded ECU and a hand-built, sport exhaust system featuring remote controlled valves that allow the driver to choose between a nearly stock and racing note from the quad tail pipes.T
he kit slightly boosts the 4.3-liter V8's power from 490HP to 528HP with Wimmer RS announcing the Italian thoroughbred goes from zero to 100km/h (62mph) in a claimed 3.84 seconds, to 200km/h (124mph) in 11.03 seconds and to 300km/h (187mph) within 34.9 seconds.
The tuned F430 Spider is said to top out at 321 km/h or 200 mph.
The German firm's sport package also includes a KW HLS suspension system that allows the front-end of the car to be lifted by 45mm at a push of a button to safely navigate obstacles such as parking ramps or speed bumps without damaging the vehicle.
The tuner finished the package with 19-inch lightweight alloy rims from BBS shod in 225/35 R19 Dunlop tires up front and 305/30 R19 tires at the rear.
Sooner or later, Ferrari will present a successor to the outgoing 430 Scuderia with a similar no-compromise lightweight version of the 458 Italia, but until then, German tuning firm Novitec Rosso decided to pay homage to the Italian supercar with a specially tuned model called Edizione 747. At the heart of the car lies a heavily modified version of the naturally-aspirated 4.3-liter V8 that produces 510HP and 470Nm of torque in stock form.With the help of a twin-supercharger, new software for the ECU and various other upgrades, Novitec Rosso boosts the V8's output to 747 horsepower at 8,500 rpm and 738 Nm at 6,300 rpm.
So equipped, it takes the Edizione 747 less than 3.4 seconds to accelerate from zero to 100km/h (62 mph) and 9.4 seconds to 200 km/h (124 mph), while the Italian supercar go on to achieve a top speed of 351 km/h or 218 mph.
Novitec Rosso says that the Edizione 747 comes equipped with a new intercooling system that features its own dedicated water circuit while the firm's engineers have also developed a special underbody with integrated air deflector to optimize supply of cooling air to the engine bay.
A set of sport springs that lower the ride height of the Ferrari by some 30 millimeters and the three-piece 20-inch NF3 double-spoke alloys fitted with Michelin Pilot Cup sport tires in sizes 245/30 ZR 20 at the front and 315/25 ZR 20 at the back complete the performance upgrades.
Buyers may also choose to fit the Edizione 747 with an optional hydraulic lift system for the front axle that raises the car's height by 40mm at the push of a button to safely navigate parking ramps, low curbs and speed bumps.
On the outside, Novitec Rosso's treatment includes a two-tone special matte yellow and grey paintjob complemented by darkened taillights, side markers and reflectors.
Upon customer request the tuner can equip the coupe with a matching two-tone interior while other options include a new steering wheel dressed in a combination of leather and carbon-fiber as well as carbon-fiber shift paddles.
