Default Novitec Rosso Tuning for Ferrari 599 GTB

Novitec Rosso Tuning for Ferrari 599 GTB

Set to be shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, Novitec Rosso has created their own subtle styling kit which is true to form as well as function for the already stunning 599 GTB. Increased down force as well as cooling is provided by the body kit consisting of front lower spoiler, side skirts with larger air intake openings, side flaps, rear wing and rear diffuser. As the final styling element, 20-inch type N3 wheels in the front and 21-inch in the rear with Pirelli P Zero 275/30 R20 and 355/25 R21 tires round out the styling package.

For performance, the mid engine 599 GTB gets additional 25hp to 645hp via control unit upgrade and exhaust system with slightly larger 90mm dual tips which are cut at an angle. Top speed increases by 5 km/h. Currently, Novitec Rosso is developing a bigger power upgrade which is expected to be released in 2008.

Handling is improved with an adjustable aluminum suspension manufactured by KW Automotive. Ride height is adjustable by pressing a button. This is a convenient feature for underground car parks or steep driveway aprons. Brakes are specially fabricated Brembo six piston calipers with 405mm brake discs on all four wheels.

Final touches include LED rear lamps and black side indicators.

The back looks hilarious, completely ruined. Apart from that it's ok.
Or to put it this way: Give me the power, wheels and suspension upgrades, but keep the bodykit

Interesting - they ditched the "perfectly engineered" Ferrari suspension for a KW setup?

Wow - a Ferrari that isn't perfect? No....

By perfectly engineered you must mean perfectly balanced. All these guys did is make the suspension more performance oriented and got rid of some of its driveability and comfort. anyone who thinks that any car cannot be improved upon performance wise is a fool, but it doesnt mean it makes the car any better.

I love that drop, it looks so menacing now! Besides the ugly body kit, and the alright-looking rims that I would replace w/ BBS CH's, I like it! The LED's look pretty cool when lit up.

All this really just did was show me how nice the 599 would look with bigger rims.
