Fiat Panda by Novitec

Italian tuner Novitec has prepared an upgrade program for the latest Fiat Panda. A front spoiler attached to the production fascia is available for 184 euros, while the rear spoiler costs 150 euros. Stock wheels can be replaced by custom 7.5Jx17 N10 alloys available in matt-black or silver polished finish with 215/35 R17 tires. The entire set with tires costs 1,106 euros or you can get just the wheels for 159 euros each.

A Novitec PowerJet 2 auxiliary control unit for the 2-cylinder TwinAir gasoline engine lifts output to 99 hp (73 kW), enabling the car to perform the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint in 10.1 seconds and hit a top speed of 117 mph (188 km/h). This upgrade kit will set you back 419 euros. The tuner also offers a Powerrail 5 module for the 1.3 16V MultiJet turbodiesel engine, increasing power to 91 hp (67 kW), up from 75 hp (55 kW). As a result, 0-62 mph is done in 11.9 seconds (12.8s standard) and top speed of 110 mph (178 km/h). It’s available for 335 euros. For an additional 251 euros Novitec can fit the Panda with a sport rear muffler that has a one-round 90mm tailpipe on both sides.

Ferrari FF by Novitec Rosso

Specializing in the tuning of sports cars from Maranello, German tuner, Novitec Rosso, has given the exclusive Ferrari FF a substantial aerodynamic/styling upgrade and moderate performance boost. For the body, the FF package features a wind tunnel tested body kit made of carbon fiber. It includes a bolt-on front spoiler lip, radiator grille, side skirts, side mirror covers, roof cladding, roof spoiler, liftgate spoiler and a rear bumper diffuser. Other components include black taillight surrounds with matching black side markers and LED rear fog lamps. Ultra-light forged wheels sized 9x21 and 12x22, front to rear, weigh just 9.9 and 13.5kg, respectively. They are mounted to Pirelli P-Zero tires in size 315/25ZR. Novitec Rosso also adds sport springs to lower the center of gravity of the all-wheel drive grand tourer. The performance kit boosts power output of the 6.3-liter V12 engine by an extra 42 HP (31 kW) to 702 HP (517 kW) at 8200rpm. This is achieved via a reprogrammed ECU, which tweeks ignition and injection, in addition to a complete stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system. The result is crisper throttle response and a higher top speed by 5 km/h to 340 km/h (211 mph) due to the increased redline. Naturally, maximum individuality is available with countless options from carbon-fiber scuff plates to fully custom leather and Alcantara interiors finished down to the last detail in any desired color and upholstery design.

Ferrari 458 Spider by Novitec Rosso

Novitec Rosso has revealed their tuning kit for the Ferrari 458 Spider. First shown on Novitec's 458 Italia, the body kit includes a two-piece front spoiler with wing blades, ventilation grilles in the fenders, carbon fiber covers on the side mirrors, sill skirts, rear diffuser, rear fog lamp bezel surround and either rear spoiler lip or a rear wing complete the look. All components are made of carbon fiber. Other styling features include black taillights, black side markers and the black auxiliary LED brake light.

For the suspension Novitec Rosso's new NF4 superlight forged wheels come in a staggered 9x21- and 12x22-inch front to rear layout with Pirelli Pzero tires in sizes 255/30 ZR 21 and 335/25 ZR 22. There's a hydraulic ride-height adjustment and sport springs lower the ride height of the Spider by some 35 millimeters, however, the standard shock absorbers on the 458 Spider do not need to be upgraded.

Under the hood Novitec Rosso has kept engine modifications basic for the brand new model. They've added a new carbon-fiber airbox, a high-performance exhaust system made from nickel-chromium-based superalloy Inconel, which weighs 21 kg (46 lbs) less, as well as sport exhaust manifolds, sport catalysts and a rear muffler with a sound control flap that can be activated by a button on the steering wheel. Lastly, a remapped engine management system for optimized ignition and injection was added resulting in an additional 39 PS (28.7 kW / 39 bhp) from the 4.5-liter V8 for a total of 609 PS (448 kW / 600 bhp) at 9,100 rpm. Simultaneously, peak torque has grown from 540 Nm (398 lb-ft) to 569 Nm (420 lb-ft) at 5,400 rpm. As a final touch, Novitec added a clear-coated carbon fiber engine cover.

For the interior Novitec Rosso also adds carbon fiber trim pieces to the center console, bezels above the speedometer and the climate sensor as well as making the shift paddles longer than the stock units.

The NOVITEC ROSSO designer suit for the Ferrari 458 Spider

Carbon aero kit, superlight forged wheels, 609 hp and 325 km/h

Haute Couture at the highest performance level: NOVITEC ROSSO not only tailors a thrilling designer suit made from lightweight clear-coated carbon fiber for the Ferrari 458 Spider. Superlight forged wheels in a unique staggered 21- and 22-inch combination together with a sophisticated suspension system featuring hydraulic ride-height adjustment make the drop-top sports car even more dynamic. In addition, there is a power increase to 609 hp / 448 kW and an equally lightweight high-performance exhaust system with sound management by means of a butterfly valve. Further custom details such as black lamps or interiors custom-tailored to the owner's individual preferences substantiate NOVITEC ROSSO's leading global position in tuning and refining the sports cars from Maranello.

Carbon fiber is not only the top choice in Formula 1 racing, but also for the NOVITEC ROSSO aerodynamic-enhancement components for the Ferrari 458 Spider. The designers concentrated not merely on striking looks, but first and foremost on aerodynamic efficiency, which was fine-tuned in the wind tunnel of the University of Stuttgart.

The standard front fascia is upgraded with a two-piece front spoiler and side flaps for further reduced lift at high speeds. To round out the carbon-fiber look the wings in the air scoops and the ventilation grilles in the front fenders are also manufactured from this material. Tasteful carbon-fiber covers on the exterior mirrors complete the ensemble.

NOVITEC ROSSO carbon-fiber sill skirts can give the two-seater an even more sporty side appearance.

Also made from this high-tech material are the NOVITEC ROSSO diffuser and the bezel surrounding the rear fog lamp. To generate even more downforce on the rear axle the Spider can be upgraded either with a tasteful rear spoiler lip or a rear wing - both made from carbon fiber as well.

Further NOVITEC ROSSO styling features are black taillights, which are also emphasized visually with carbon-fiber bezels, black side markers and the black auxiliary LED brake light.

The new NOVITEC ROSSO NF4 forged wheels perfectly combine visual assets with increased driving dynamics thanks to reduced unsprung weight. To give the Ferrari even more of a wedge-shaped appearance a staggered tire/wheel combination with diameters of 21 and 22 inches was developed.

Despite their king-sized dimensions - 9Jx21 in front and 12Jx22 on the rear axle - these wheels with five delicate double spokes weigh just 9.9 and 13.5 kilograms. This makes the NOVITEC ROSSO wheels some of the lightest of their type in these sizes. Technology partner Pirelli supplies PZero high-performance tires in sizes 255/30 ZR 21 and 335/25 ZR 22. The popular three-piece NOVITEC ROSSO NF3 wheels with diameters of 20, 21 and 22 inches will continue to be available as an option.

Another NOVITEC ROSSO high-tech development is the hydraulic suspension system for the 458 Spider. At the push of a button in the cockpit the front of the car can be raised by 40 millimeters to navigate safely past curbs or to enter an underground parking garage. At a second push of the button or automatically upon reaching a speed of 80 km/h the front reverts to its original position. In addition, NOVITEC ROSSO sport springs lower the ride height of the Spider by some 35 millimeters. It goes without saying that the standard damper adjustment of the 458 Spider is retained fully.

NOVITEC ROSSO sport sway bars are available to further minimize body roll in fast corners and to improve turn-in.

This makes the 458 Spider perfectly suited for an extra helping of power. The most powerful version to date is the NOVITEC ROSSO Performance Level 1. In this case the 4.5-liter V8 is fitted with a special carbon-fiber air box with modified air routing and a NOVITEC ROSSO high-performance exhaust system. The exhaust system, manufactured from INCONEL, a highly stress-proof yet extremely lightweight material also used on exhausts for Formula 1 engines, consists of two high-performance manifolds, sport catalysts and a rear muffler. The latter is optionally available with a butterfly valve for changing the exhaust note with the Manettino on the steering wheel. The sport exhaust plays not only a crucial role in the increase in power by 39 hp / 28.7 kW, it also weighs 21 kilograms less than the production exhaust.

In order to perfectly coordinate the interaction of all high-performance components the engine conversion also comprises newly programmed engine electronics with custom mapping for ignition and injection.

After the conversion the engine produces a peak power of 609 hp / 448 kW at 9,100 rpm and a peak torque of 569 Nm at 5,400 rpm. Even more important for day-to-day driving situations are the even more aggressive throttle response and the moderately higher redline speed for further improved shift points. The Ferrari 458 Spider with NOVITEC ROSSO engine tuning reaches a top speed in excess of 325 km/h.

NOVITEC ROSSO goes beyond simply offering more power. The engine design itself is of an extremely sporty character with clear-coated carbon-fiber covers that turn the engine compartment into a feast for the eyes as well.

NOVITEC ROSSO also adds some outright racing highlights in the interior with tasteful carbon-fiber touches such as the center console that has been extended downward, the bezels above the speedometer and the climate sensor as well as with shift paddles that are longer than their production counterparts. Naturally there are also exclusive NOVITEC ROSSO all-leather interiors in any color imaginable.

Ferrari (599) SA Aperta by Novitec Rosso

 German Ferrari tuner Novitec Rosso has a new package for the rare Ferrari 599 SA Aperta.
Only 80 units of the SA Aperta were made in a limited production run, making it one of the most unique Ferrari's around.
Novitec Rosso dials up the output on the SA Aperta via a new twin-supercharger system which helps the 6.0 liter V12 engine deliver 888 PS (653 kW / 876 hp) and 862 Nm (636 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 218 PS (160 kW / 215 hp) and 242 Nm (178 lb-ft) of torque over the series version.
That extra juice makes for a 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of just 3.1 seconds. 200 km/h (124 mph) is reached in just 9.1 seconds and top speed is over 340 km/h (211 mph).
A stainless-steel exhaust with 90 mm black-coated tailpipes is also added, as are the 10J x 21-inch super-light forged rims at the front wrapped in 295/25 ZR 21 Pirelli PZero tires, while the rear axle gets the 12J x 22-inchers fitted with tires sized 335/25 ZR 22. Novitec's own sport springs also lower the ride height of the SA Aperta by 25 mm.

Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale tuned by Novitec Tridente

Novitec Tridente has introduced a new tuning package for the Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale.

On the styling front, the car has a ventilated hood, a reduced ride height, a sport exhaust system and 21- / 22-inch alloy wheels with Pirelli P Zero tires.

For added performance, the 4.7-liter V8 is equipped with a supercharger, a new intake manifold, larger fuel injectors and revised engine mapping. Thanks to these changes, the mill develops 646 PS (475 kW / 637 hp) and 624 Nm (460 lb-ft) of torque. This enables the car to rocket from 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 11.4 seconds and top out at 306 km/h (190 mph).

The package is priced from €23,900 ($31,820), but customers can also order a bespoke interior which is "crafted to [the] utmost perfection."

Alfa Romeo 8C Spider by Novitec

Italian tuner Novitec has spruced-up the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider/Coupe to make this the most powerful Alfa Romeo around.

The tuning kit begins with a new supercharger for the 4.7 liter V8, borrowed from sister outfit Novitec Tridente, which specializes in tuning Maserati. But the supercharger had to be modified to fit under the 8C's bonnet.

Power is boosted on the 450 PS (331 kW / 444 bhp) V8 to a total output of 600 PS (441 kW / 592 bhp) and 588 Nm (434 lb-ft) of torque. The 0 to 100 km/h sprint takes just 3.9 seconds and top speed is 305 km/h (189.5 mph).

Optional is a stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system.

For the ride, Novitec provides its height-adjustable threaded coil-over suspension and three-piece NA3 wheels in 9J x 21 and 11.5J x 22 dimensions wrapped in Pirelli tires sized 255/30ZR21 and 315/25ZR22, for the front and back, respectively.
