The Germans made a short video showing the silver grey prancing horse parked in the backyard of the tuner’s premises in Stetten in the south of Germany.

Maximum power output jumped from standard 670hp to 888hp at 8,400rpm, giving the supercharged sports car a power-to-weight ratio of 1.74kg/hp. The tuned V12 also produces a peak torque, which increases by 242Nm to 862Nm at 6,600rpm.

The two-seater car is equipped with the new, extremely light Novitec Rosso forged wheels to improve the power-to-weight ratio and for even more dynamic handling.

The modified sports car features a stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system that ensures unimpeded exhaust-gas flow.

Novitec Rosso Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti may be the oldest horse in the Italian automaker’s Modenese stable, but Stetten, Germany-based tuner Novitec Rosso is determined to give the 2+2 a fresh touch-up.

Renowned for its subtle approach to modifying Ferraris, Novitec took the grand-touring coupe and added little more than a new stainless-steel exhaust system, recalibrated engine electronics, larger wheels, and interior upgrades. The reworked electronics and exhaust boosts extra power, pushing the front-mid-mounted 5.7-liter V12 to 558 hp and 449 pound-feet of torque. (Factory output is 533 hp and 434 pound-feet of torque.) Although power is only part of the total performance equation, the Novitec-tuned 612 jumps from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.9 seconds and carries a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h).

The main feature of the exterior is the new set of wheels. These new three-piece NF3 alloy wheels which come in size 9Jx20-inch for the front and 12.5Jx21 for the rear with 275/30 ZR30 and 355/25 R21 Pirelli P Zero tires really match the unique style of the 612.

Inside, Novitec offers new, ergonomically shaped steering wheels available in any color. In addition to color, the steering wheel’s construction material and rim thickness may be altered to customer’s specifications. The rest of the interior is also customizable per individual request and Novitec finishes this Prancing Horse with a set of black tailights.

Pricing was not disclosed, but buyers can expect to pay a hefty premium over the 612 Scaglietti’s $300,000-plus base price.

Press Release:

Arrivederci 612 Scaglietti!
NOVITEC ROSSO Refines the Ferrari 2+2-Seater

2+2-seaters have a long and illustrious tradition at Ferrari. The 612 Scaglietti seamlessly continued this tremendous success story since its debut in the fall of 2003. To make this extraordinary automobile even more exclusive and to add an even higher level of customization NOVITEC ROSSO now offers new accessories such as a custom-tailored tire/wheel combination with diameters of 20 and 21 inches, a power increase to 565 hp / 416 kW, a stainless-steel sport exhaust system, new taillight design and upgrades for the interior.

Wheels make a car and for a Ferrari the best is just good enough. The NOVITEC ROSSO suspension specialists have developed custom versions of the three-piece NF3 alloy wheels for the Italian sports car.

The new wheels feature a striking design with five double spokes and polished outer flanges. Contrary to the 19-inch production wheels, the 612 Scaglietti in NOVITEC ROSSO trim sports a combination of size 9Jx20 wheels in front and size 12.5Jx21 rims on the rear axle.

This measure benefits not only the driving dynamics of the car but also and foremost the coupe’s appearance. The staggered wheels further emphasize the wedge-shaped design of the two-door car.

In the P Zero tire technology partner Pirelli offers the perfect ultra-high-performance tires for this tire/wheel combination that makes optimal use of the available space in the wheel wells Tires in size 275/30 ZR 20 on the front axle provide enormous grip during fast cornering and hard braking. Tires in size 355/25 R 21 on the rear axle allow even higher cornering speeds and provide maximum traction.

The exclusive look can be further upgraded with black NOVITEC ROSSO lamps. The complete package comprises the four round taillights, the reflectors and the side markers.

Further cornerstones of the NOVITEC ROSSO program for the 612 Scaglietti are a power increase and an even sportier exhaust note. The inner workings of the V12 engine with a displacement of 5,748 cm³ remain untouched. The power increase to 565 hp / 416 kW at 7,290 rpm is the product of a newly calibrated engine management system and the NOVITEC ROSSO stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system.

The tuning gives the V12 engine an even crisper response and lets it rev up even faster. Simultaneously peak torque grows to 609 Nm at 5,300 rpm. A top speed of more than 325 km/h and a sprint time for 0 – 100 km/h of just 3.9 seconds make the 2+2-seater an even more dominant sports car.

The NOVITEC ROSSO sport exhaust system is an integral part of the power increase and produces a truly delightful exhaust note. The NOVITEC ROSSO exhaust is easily distinguished by its four 90-mm tailpipes cut at an angle.

NOVITEC ROSSO upgrades the four-seat interior according to customers’ personal preferences. The ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel comes in any color imaginable. But that’s not all: Customers can also freely choose the steering wheel’s material as well as the thickness of the rim. The rim is flattened at the bottom for easier entering and exiting of the vehicle.

Every NOVITEC ROSSO interior is characterized by its masterful precision finish and its striking colors. But NOVITEC ROSSO realizes not only Ferrari owners’ personal material and color selections, it also custom-tailors the seat to each customer’s body measurements. Special requests such as for seats with even more lateral support or a lowered seat position for especially tall drivers round out the interior customization program.

The Stetten, Germany tuner Novitec Rosso that specializes in modifying Ferrari vehicles has released details about a new modified Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano that builds upon its previous version by adding a new forced-induction system. The new package consists of a subtle styling kit for increased downforce, as well as some mild handling upgrades, and a twin-turbocharging kit.

A maximum rated output of 808hp (594kW) and 607lb-ft (823Nm) of torque are the result of the new twin compressor conversion, and with the accelerator pedal pressed to the floor the car will reach a top speed of 211mph (340km/h).

In combination with the F1-Superfast transmission, the 6-liter V12 auto will sprint from 0-62mph (100km/h) in just 3.5 seconds, pass 124mph (200km/h) after 9.7 seconds and reach 186mph (300km/h) after 25.5 seconds. The engine conversion is available for about $60,000.

A belt-driven twin-supercharging system is bolted to the engine, producing a relatively mild peak boost pressure of 5.65psi. The compressed air is then cooled down to a level conducive for added power by a large intercooler cooled by a dedicated water cycle. A specially designed intake manifold with high-performance injectors and a sports air filter round out the conversion on the intake side.

Other powertrain modifications include custom exhaust manifolds calibrated to the twin compressors, and the stainless-steel quad sport exhaust system with a tailpipe diameter of 90mm. The exhaust note can be adjusted using the ‘manettino’ switch on the steering wheel from ‘sporty yet discrete’ to ‘definitely sounds like racing.’ There is a custom retuned ECU also.

The aero kit consists of a new front lip, side skirts with larger air intake openings, side flaps, a new rear wing and bumper with an integrated diffuser. The car also gets new 20in wheels at the front with larger 21in alloys at the rear and 355mm Pirelli P Zeros.

These king-size wheels offers space for the high-performance brake system developed in cooperation with Brembo. The brake uses the largest components currently legal for street use. The front and rear features steel discs with diameters of 405mm and six-piston brake calipers. Together they offer an optimal combination of maximum stopping power and endurance.

Other changes to the 599 include a height-adjustable sport suspension that can be adjusted to each owner’s individual preferences. In addition the suspension also offers a highly useful lift feature that is activated by pushing a button in the cockpit. The front of the car can be raised by 40mm to navigate safely past obstacles such as parking ramps or speed bumps without scraping the front apron. The suspension automatically reverts to its original position once the car reaches a speed of 50mph (80km/h).

Novitec Rosso offers the ultimate refinements for the interior of the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. The list of options ranges from a leather/carbon-fiber sport steering wheel with flattened bottom for easier entering and exiting, to aluminum foot pedals, to a completely new interior in any color and material combination imaginable.
