Another highlight on the Giovanna booth at SEMA 2012 was this matte silver Ferrari 458 Spider fitted with Giovanna Wheels. The rim specialist from the US fitted five-spoke GFG Forged Modular rims to the prancing horse providing a brand new look to the sports car.
It is unknown if any other changes were added to the 458 Spider other than the wheels, the matte dark detailing and the matte silver wrap.

The 2013 Rolls Royce Ghost will embrace very subtle revisions to the interior upholstery and the infotainment system of the car. What possibly can they upgrade or facelift? It's already the perfect car, but it will be seeing similar revisions already found in the Phantom Series 2, apart from the day-time LEDs.
Revisions in the 2013 Ghost were mostly concentrated on the infotainment system of the car. It features an all new, advanced amplifier with the addition of 'exciter' speakers. Sounds exciting? The upholstery now comes with natural grain leather and cross-banded wood veneers. If this is an option they are introducing now, what was the type of leather they were using? Printed leather? Certainly that wouldn't go along with Rolls Royce's reputation of building hand-made cars out of exclusive materials.
On the outside, a new alloy wheel option will be available for customers who aren't satisfied with the current options along with an all new, cool feature called the Comfort Access Boot. This feature lets you open the boot using your feet with the help of a sensor under the rear bumper, should both hands be full. It's a neat feature that doesn't require the hassle of taking the key out of the pocket while juggling shopping bags, but in a Rolls Royce?
Though it cannot be considered an incremental upgrade at all, except the cool boot feature, the 2013 Rolls Royce Ghost is, nevertheless, a car that sticks true to the Rolls Royce tradition of absolute perfection, immaculate ride, and supreme refinement. What is your take on the 2013 Rolls Royce Ghost? Let us know in the comments section.
