Earlier this year, Novitec released an aerodynamic
kit for the Ferrari 812 Superfast complete with a lowered suspension and
high-performance exhaust system for the car’s 6.5-liter V12 engine. Now it’s time for the German
tuner to unleash its full range of upgrades aimed at Ferrari’s ultra-quick
grand tourer. We’re talking about a widebody version that completely transforms
the 812 Superfast’s looks, complemented by hi-tech forged wheels and a power
upgrade.
Under the label Novitec N-Largo, the elaborate
bodywork modification for the Ferrari 812 Superfast gives it the looks of a
street-legal race car. Made entirely of carbon, the widebody kit adds a width
of 140 mm at the rear axle and 70 mm at the front
axle of the Italian supercar, while also improving the its aerodynamic
efficiency.
The Novitec N-Largo widebody kit has been created in
cooperation with designer Vittorio Strosek who has taken aerodynamic
inspiration from Formula 1 for the fenders. There’s a clear motorsports vibe to
the exterior styling modifications, from the naked-carbon central front spoiler
to the massive diffuser and fixer rear wing.
Filling the larger fender wells are Novitec NF 10 NL
hi-tech forged wheels, developed specifically for this car in cooperation with
U.S. wheel manufacturer Vossen. The rims come in a staggered setup (21 inches
at the front and 22 inches at the rear) and feature an extremely concave design
with five filigree double-spokes. The 12.5Jx22 rear wheels are shod with
massive 335/25 ZR 22 Pirelli P-Zero high-performance tires, while the front
10Jx21 wheels wear 275/30 ZR 21 tires.
The tuned Ferrari 812 Superfast also comes with a
revised suspension featuring sport springs that lower the ride height by about
35 mm. There’s also a Front Lift system available for the front
axle which raises the nose of the car by about 40 mm at the touch
of a button.
Finally, Novitec engineers are also developing a
performance upgrade for the naturally-aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine. Via new
mapping for the ECU, they target a maximum output of 840 PS at 8,750
rpm and a peak torque of 751 Nm at 7,300 rpm. Thanks to the extra
40 horses and 33 Nm, the 812 Superfast should sprint from 0 to 100
km/h in 2.8 seconds and top out at 345 km/h. Compared to the
stock car, those are relatively modest gains of 0.1 seconds and 5 km/h,
respectively.
Novitec also recommends that Ferrari 812 Superfast
owners fit a high-performance quad exhaust system which optimizes the power
delivery by reducing the exhaust back pressure and produces a spectacular V12
exhaust note. Available with or without actively controlled exhaust flaps,
Novitec’s exhaust system is made of stainless steel or Inconel, saving up to 11
kg in the process. Finally, the Bavarian tuner can also tailor the 812 Superfast’s
cockpit to the customer’s preferences; for example, by using leather and
Alcantara in any desired color.
