Ferrari 599 GTO by Romeo Ferraris

  Romeo Ferraris has introduced a new tuning program for the Ferrari 599 GTO. Starting with the engine, the company installs a high-flow air filter and a sports exhaust system. These minor changes enable the model to produce 685 PS (504 kW / 676 hp) and 633 Nm (467 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 15 PS (11 kW / 15 hp) and 13 Nm (10 lb-ft). If that isn't enough, there's a stage two package which adds a revised ECU and a different exhaust system. This enables the 6.0-liter V12 to produce 710 PS (522 kW / 700 hp) and 668 Nm (493 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 40 PS (29 kW / 39 hp) and 48 Nm (36 lb-ft). Customers can also order a variety of carbon fiber accessories including mirrors, a rear diffuser and a front splitter.

Alfa Romeo Brera by Romeo Ferraris

Italian tuner/racing team Romeo Ferraris has partnered with British Alfa Romeo tuning firm Autodelta to give one last push on their supercharger and styling kits for the Alfa Romeo Brera which ceased production in Novermber 2010. All components, including the supercharger, have been developed by Autodelta while Romeo Ferraris acts as distributor and authorized service center for Italy. First seen back in 2009, although with slightly less power, Autodelta's centrifugal supercharger kit increases power output of the 3.2-liter V6 unit by 98 PS (97 bhp / 72 kW) over the standard 260 PS (256 bhp / 191 kW) while torque increase 120 Nm (89 lb-ft) to 440 Nm (325 lb-ft). The supercharger kit includes the compressor, intercooler, special piping, reprogrammed ECU and new full exhaust system which includes a 200 cell catalytic converter. The result is a 0 to 100 km/h sprint in just 5 seconds versus 6.5 seconds for the standard Brera and top speed increases to 260 km/h (162 mph). The body aero kit has also been restyled courtesy of Autodelta again. It includes a new front bumper, side skirts and rear bumper fascia. Height adjustable sports suspension kit with new springs and shocks have also been added.

Abarth 500 Cinquone Modigliani race car by Romeo Ferraris


Italian tuning and race firm Romeo Ferraris has made a street legal version of their Abarth 500 Cinquone Modigliani race car.
Unveiled at Autodromo Vallelunga recently, the Cinquone Stradale maintains the same body appearance as the race car. It includes a new hood with large dual air scoops, front bumper with a large central air intake, integrated wide body fenders and skirts, and a rear bumper with central mounted exhaust and diffuser.
The engine which is the same Fiat 1.4-liter turbo four cylinder from the stock 500 has a new exhaust system with metal catalytic converter, remapped ECU and a bigger turbo that now delivers 300 PS - only 60 PS less than the race car.
Inside, the rear seat bench has been removed and replaced with a roll bar. The dash pad is covered in suede while carbon fiber race seats are draped with OMP 4-point seat harnesses.
The Cinquone Stradale weighs just over 1,000 kg (2,205 lbs) compared to the race car's 900 kg (1,984 lbs).

Corvette Z06 by Romeo Ferraris


The Italian tuner Romeo Ferraris is at it again. This time they're taking on the Corvette Z06.

Romeo Ferraris takes the American import and drops its own compressor onto the LS7 7.0 liter V8 engine. The Vortech kit used includes a centrifugal compressor, an air-to-air aluminum intercooler and high-flow injectors. Total output goes from the standard Z06's 512 PS (377 kW) and 637 Nm of torque to 677 PS (498 kW) and 823 Nm.

Those new power ratings also come as a benefit of a new sport exhaust system and the Z06-RF is held in check by larger performance disk-brakes featuring 380 mm, 6-piston calipers for the front and 345 mm, 4-piston calipers at the back.

Front and rear wheels also differ in dimensions, with Romeo Ferraris fitting this Z06-RF with 19-inch rims at the front and 20-inch at the back.

Performance numbers include a 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 3.3 seconds and if you keep going you'll reach 200 km/h (124 mph) in under 10 seconds. Top speed is 340 km/h (211 mph).

Romeo Ferraris also provides a new interior finish to add a European touch to this American muscle car. That includes an in-house "Commando" sport steering wheel by Romeo Ferraris, Recaro Sportster seats and leather touches to replace outgoing plastic moldings.

500C Abarth by Romeo Ferraris


Romeo Ferraris has tuned this 500C Abarth to commemorate its own 52nd anniversary.

The Abarth 500C Anniversario features a performance upgrade that dials power up to 203 PS (149 kW / 200 bhp) from the series' 140 PS (103 kW / 138 bhp). The power boosts comes courtesy of an ECU-remap, a new turbine, a sport air filter and a sport exhaust.

Also added are performance (Brembo) brakes, a suspension kit and a mechanical limited-slip differential.

But what stands out here is the two-tone chrome finish to the outside of the 500C Abarth in a silver and red scheme.

On the inside too is red chrome trim complimented by a black leather finish with diamond stitching.

The whole package rides on 8 x 17-inch rims by Romeo Ferraris.
