Most tuning aficionados know Notice for their "Rosso" line of custom Ferraris. However, they target other Italian marques, most notably with the "Torrado" lineup, which predictably chases Raging Bulls.
This video captures their best work, the updated version of the Aventador which was launched just last year. Novitec says its special V12 is still good for daily use, which is exactly what we're seeing here.

But don't imagine a Novitec Aventador sits in traffic, waiting for the green light so the driver can safely arrive at the office. No, it's driven hard on the streets of London, chasing down a Ferrari 458 Italia. Watching the two at play is surreal, almost like living on a movie set.

Spotter Supercars of London took this video last week and says it's the first Novitec Aventador to arrive in Britain, built last summer by a company called Projex UK.

We don't know the specifics of this particular car, but can tell you that Novitec offers five flavors of 6.5-liter V12:

• 722 HP and 704 Nm (519 lb-ft) of torque
• 728 HP and 709 Nm (523 lb-ft) of torque
• 743 HP and 716 Nm (528 lb-ft) of torque
• 748 HP and 722 Nm (532 lb-ft) of torque
• 969 HP and 912 Nm (672 lb-ft) of torque

That last one is bi-supercharged and can get from 0 to 124 mph (200 km/h) in just 7.4 seconds. What a monster!

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
