Japanese turning firm ASI has announced a new styling package for the Ferrari F430 and a new performance package for the Bentley Continental range (GT, Flying Spur, and GTC).

The ASI Ferrari sports a unique body kit that consists of a new front bumper, aggressive side skirts and a bold rear bumper. Although the parts were styled to provide similar aerodynamic performance to the components they replace, the ASI pieces weigh 27kg (59 lbs) less. To further maximize the F430's appearance, ASI also offers a sporty new exhaust system which uses "Scuderia-style" center-mounted exhaust tips.

For the Bentleys, ASI has unveiled a new high performance exhaust system that has been specially engineered to deliver a thrilling exhaust note as well as increased power. When combined with ASI's ECU tuning package, Bentley Continentals boast an insane 700 horsepower. The company has also announced a revised suspension lowering module which is easier to use, thanks to a new installation adapter.

Press Release (Click to expand)

ASI proudly announces the culmination of our first major project outside of the Bentley Continental series: the ASI Ferrari F430 body kit and performance line-up.

Applying expert Japanese technical analysis, careful testing and a truly imaginative and spirited design is not only our business, it’s our passion. Thoroughly tested both around the city and around the track, we are confident that we are releasing what will quickly become the tuning world’s most important Ferrari F430 body kit.

Comprised of front bumper, side skirts and rear bumper, ASI’s Ferrari F430 body kit offers aerodynamic performance identical to Ferrari stock parts but at a 27kg weight reduction, not to mention the easily distinguishable new ASI flare. Our rear bumper is compatible both with the F430’s stock exhaust and ASI’s new exhaust system, which will offer further performance enhancements via “Scuderia-style” centered exhaust tips.

Alongside our Ferrari F430 project, ASI has pressed forward with more development for the Bentley Continental series. Our AV signal bypass system is better than ever (now allowing navigation and rear camera display signals plus two additional input signals of user choice).

Our suspension lowering module is easier to use and problem free thanks to our new installation adapter. And our high performance exhaust system has been more finely tuned both for both power and acoustics. Simply by combining ASI’s ECU tuning package and exhaust system, your Bentley Continental GT, GTC, or Flying Spur (both normal and Speed versions) will be able to muster an inebriating 700 horsepower. (We know you will use your power responsibly)

Our revamped factory and production methods have also made it possible to produce the same body kits as before for significantly lower cost. We’re glad to be able to pass this savings along to our new owners with lower prices for our Bentley Continental line body kits.

Wow, screw hanman and Novitec, this is the most racey looking bodykit for the F430. I just simply adore the track-day car theme of the car.

nice but too low for real world driving.

Agreed, and that's the only thing that gives this kit so much presence. If it were at a proper ride height, it wouldn't look nearly as good.

Dont be silly it looks great it looks like the GT competition cars, but I still wouldnt buy one, the Scuderia is slightly more realistic and its still very fast.
