Ferrari are hardly a brand you would associate with producing environmental energy saving automobiles, but it seems by this concept one could see a new direction for the Italian super car manufacturer.
Shake off your midweek blues by watching this 5 minute video where Car Magazine Online got to test drive the new Ferrari F430 Scuderia both on the road and on the track.
The Ferrari F430 ‘Tu Nero’ is the latest bastard child of the well-known Ferrari Tuner Novitec. Darth Vader’s new dark side Ferrari produces 707 bhp at 8350 rpm combined with 712 Nm of Torque.

The youtube video that the RCMP are investigating in this article was linked on pretty much every car forum around the world and even made it to the front page of Digg.com.
Another great batch of exotics and modified cars spotted around the world. Audi R8, Ferrari 599 GTB, McLaren SLR 722, Maserati Coupe, Kamala Futuro and more..
Ferrari has started the development of mid-engined F430 successor.
First test mules are based on the, yet to be released, F430 Challenge Stradale and have now started to rack up test kilometers on the Fiorano test track as well as the winding mountain roads around the Maranello headquarters.
Listen and watch Murcielago after Murcielago, Gallardo after Gallardo, Diablos, 2 Ariel Atoms, F40, NSXs, Vipers, 911 Turbos, plus MUCH more awesomeness pull out of the event parking lot and completely destroy the asphalt!! I would have loved to be there to feel the power of these sweet Italian machines.

With its new Novitec Bi Compressor Evoluzione engine with modified turbine-blades and separated oil-circuit, German tuner has managed to pump additional 20 hp out of the previous 636 hp version
The magic word at Novitec is "Evoluzione" which translates to an addition of 20Hp over the "stock" Novitec Ferrari F430 Bi-Compressor’s 636Hp. The German tuner managed to raise output to 656Hp by revising the compressor and updating the engine management system. Funny enough, the Evoluzione still retains the same performance figures as the stock version with 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) coming in 3,7 sec while maximum speed continues to stand at 216mph - 348 km/h.
