It goes without saying that this isn't an officially-sanctioned Ferrari F430 cell phone. This is called the "F1 Phone," coming at you in bright-red injection-molded plastic direct from non-Ferrari manufacturing China. Like the Italian exotic, the F1 Phone offers a lot of performance with its dual-band support, a 2.2-inch touch-sensitive LCD display, music player, video player, memory expansion slot, USB connectivity, flashlight, and a slew of other electronic goodies (including three pre-installed games, though not a single one involving driving). Unlike the Italian exotic, this one sports a price tag of just $190, allowing you to save the other $185,000 for your text messaging bill. In case you were wondering, that bulls-eye smack in the middle of the windshield is the built-in 1.3 megapixel camera - you won't find one of those on any showroom Scuderia!

Novitec Rosso F430 RACE

Novitec Rosso is good at making fast things even faster. Such has been the case with its twin-supercharged Ferrari F430s, which pretty much go like stink. Now, with the introduction of the Novitec Rosso F430 RACE, it would appear that any remaining deodorant has worn off. What's faster than going like stink? Going like stench? So be it. That's what this striped rocketship does.

The boost is dialed up on the dual blowers, which are also fitted with larger turbine vanes. Further engine, intake and exhaust tuning bump the car's output to 707 horsepower and 525 lb-ft of torque. Zero to sixty takes merely 3.5 seconds, and this stallion doesn't stop running until the speedo touches 216 miles per hour. Naturally, the suspension, brakes, aerodynamics and overall appearance are also given the once-over. After all, this is a super tuner car, and it needs to look and act the part. The customized interior features details like longer shift paddles, and the updated bodywork is set off with darkened lenses and the triple stripes. Bigger wheels and brakes sit at each corner, and an even bigger check is required if you want to take one home -- plan on writing it for a minimum of €193,277. How creative you get with Novitec Rosso's generally limitless set of options will determine just how much higher it'll be. Full details are in Novitec's press release after the jump.
