As if the 812 Superfast wasn’t special enough from the get-go, Novitec Rosso decided to add visual flavor to the high-performance grand tourer. These will have to do for the time being, with Novitec specialists currently working on “performance upgrades for the 6.5-liter V12” that outputs 800 PS (789 horsepower) and 530 pound-feet (718 Nm) of torque.
The yellow-painted car in the photo gallery differs from stock starting with the wheels. 21-inch alloys up front and 22s at the rear, both from Vossen. The 812 Superfast also sits lower to the ground thanks to a set of lowering springs (by 35 millimeters) which promises better handling thanks to the lower center of gravity.
Because the belly of the beast is that much lower to the asphalt, Novitec Rosso didn’t forget to add a nose lift to the 812 Superfast. At the touch of a button, the front end lifts up by 40 millimeters, saving the driver from the embarrassment of scraping the front bumper’s lip.
A super-sport exhaust system with 110-millimeter tips finished in matte or polished stainless steel is also available, saving 11 kilograms (24 pounds) over the standard exhaust from Ferrari. Active flaps are included, allowing the driver to switch from don’t-wake-up-the-neighbour quiet to F1-is-life loud at a moment’s notice.
It’s somewhat curious the Inconel superalloy exhaust doesn’t help the engine deliver more ponies, but hey, an ECU re-flash is more effective on a car with so much performance from the start. Without any modifications, the 812 Superfast accelerates to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds, topping at 340 km/h (211 mph) without breaking a sweat.
Turning our attention back to the tuner’s delight, the two-door coupe loses even more weight thanks to a carbon-fiber package that Novitec Rosso developed in the wind tunnel. The pack includes the air outlets on the hood, side mirror caps, front and rear lip spoilers, and all of these pieces are available in either matte or gloss finishes.
The Stetten-based tuning company is much obliged to add to the bill if you’re willing to change the cabin in whichever way you fancy. Be it Alcantara or leather upholstery, carbon fiber or stainless steel, the Novitec Group is ready to make your wish come true.
After a 1:43 scale model of a Ferrari 250 GTO sparked Mircea's interest for cars when he was a kid, an early internship at Top Gear sealed his career path. He's most interested in muscle cars and American trucks, but he takes a passing interest in quirky kei cars as well. Full profile
