Ferrari 488 GTB Carbon by Novitec Rosso
Long time passed since we first
got wind of what Novitec was planning to do with the newly launched Ferrari 488
GTB, and now it's finally here.
The styling hasn't changed
too drastically, yet the carbon fiber aero elements make for a visibly more
aggressive supercar than before, with an emphasis on the rear wing, side skirts
and the front spoiler lip.
The German tuner certaily didn't forget
about the 488's twin-turbo V8, giving it an extra 86 PS which led to a direct increase in top speed, rounding things out at 342 km/h. Also, with 756 PS on tap, the Novitec Rosso 488 boasts more
power than even your run-of-the-mill F12Berlinetta - and this just in its base-spec
tune.
There are two other performance upgrades
(a Stage 2 and a Stage 3). The most powerful of the two offers up 772
PS and a monster 892 Nm of torque, whereas the other one
is good for 764 PS and 888 Nm.
Novitec however only provided
acceleration figures for the "base-spec" tuning package, displaying a
hypercar-worthy 2.8-second 0-100 km/h sprint time. In order to maximize the car's
performance, Novitec fiddled with the suspension components and provided the
488 with tailor-made 21" wheels and tire combos in order to squeeze every
last drop of grip from the rubber.
While no interior images have been
released yet, the Novitec program does extend into the cockpit where customers
can enjoy a wide range of carbon fiber inserts.
