Ferrari F430
Scuderia Unveiled by MichFrankfurt is not a big auto show for the aftermarket tuners, mostly because it is just so large for the OEMs. A small tuner would certainly get lost amidst all the brand new OEM creations. Here are just a few unveiled at Frankfurt:

Only 20 will be made which might be a good thing because we're not sure Lamborghini could sell many more. Especially considering they are asking well over a million dollars for each car. The extreme styling is based off of the F-22 Raptor fighter jet. Disappointingly the horsepower increase is minimal, with 20 extra ponies being added for a total of 660 hp. This does, however, make for a 0-60 sprint in 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 211 mph! On the plus side, the Alcantara interior is very impressive!

Scuderia Unveiled by Michael Schumacher the new light-weight F430 weights 220 lbs less than the regular F430 for a total weight of 2,756 lbs. It also gains a few horses for a grand total of 510 hp! The design has changed slightly to add more sharp edges and it looks just fantastic.

Porsche GT2
A solid step up from the Turbo, the new 997 GT2 makes 530 hp and 501 ft-lbs of torque – proving those VTG turbos had more power in them. Zero-60 times are expected to be somewhere around 3.6 seconds and the GT2 will be the first 911 with a top speed of over 200 mph – 204 mph to be exact.
BMW M3
There's not much we can say about the new V8 powered M3 that you haven't already heard. We'll tell you more once we drive it.
Audi RS6
It may just be for the European market for now but we expect this 572 hp twin turbo 5.2L V10 will make its way across the pond. Even if it's just the engine (and it happens to be in the Audi R8).
Modified Vehicles
There were still a few very interesting modified vehicles on display including a Rolls-Royce Phantom and Aston Martin V8 Vantage from Mansory, a CL65 from Carlsson and a matte black F430 from Novitec Rosso. Novitec also brought out their brand new package for the 599. Be sure to pick up the January/February issue of Modified Luxury & Exotics for more in depth coverage on the OEM cars and the modified cars in particular
