The electronic specialists from Mcchip DKR has come up with a bespoke program for the Ferrari 458 Spider that unlocks an extra 30 horsepower from the 4.5 liter V8 engine, and all it requires is installing a box the size of a Kit Kat inside one of the fenders.

That done, Ferrari 458 Spider will have access to 588 horsepower and 566 Nm of torque. That is a significant increase given the only thing that’s changed in the engine is a few lines of code. Chip tuning is an efficient way of improving performance. It is handy, since you don’t have to upgrade other parts like the cooling system or the exhaust to get result.

The extra power will not only makes the 458 more responsive and even sharper than it already is, it could be a difference between losing or winning in a drag race!

So if you crave a 458 Speciale but for whatever reason can’t get one – maybe because you like the alfresco motoring experience only Ferrari 458 Spider can offer – this package will give you some of the action at a very reasonable cost.
