As tuning houses go, Germany’s EDO Competition exercises admirable Teutonic restraint when it comes to making supercars even more super. Earlier we wrote about their Bentley GT Speed; for their latest project they’ve decided to have some disciplined fun with the convertible Ferrari California. With a few choice twists of the wrench – well, actually a remapped ECU and a pair of high-flow catalytic converters that feed into a new driver-adjustable exhaust system – they’ve boosted the car’s 4.3-liter V8 engine by 40 hp to give it an even 500 horsepower, along with and 369 lb-ft. of torque.

The bottom line: the topless little tart can now do 0-100 km/h in only 3.9 seconds and won’t slow down ‘till she hits 315 per. Commendably, EDO has refrained from messing around with her body too much, confining itself to options like 35 mm lowering springs, adding a full-on sport suspension system with adjustable damping, and various sizes of badass wheels. The somewhat blacked-out demo model with yellow calipers and a saddle tan leather interior is aesthetically appealing to be sure. No doubt they’ll make you something much tackier if you ask politely.
