If you’ve seen Nico Rosberg take the Ferrari Monza SP1 out on the track at Fiorano, then you probably know this isn’t the type of car in need of any more power. Of course, don’t let Novitec hear you say that, because boosting performance in pretty much everything they get their hands on is exactly what they do. In this particular case, the result should be an even more intense driving experience.
When stock, the Ferrari Monza SP1/SP2’s
6.5-liter V12 engine produces 799 HP and 719 Nm of
torque, which will get you from zero to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds. Top
speed is north of 300 km/h.
With Novitec’s help, the Italian speedster
now boasts 832 HP and 780 Nm of torque. While its top
speed remains undetermined, the 0-62 sprint is achieved slightly faster by 0.1
seconds, which some might argue is inconsequential. However, putting your foot
down will result in faster throttle response and better acceleration across the
entire rev range, claims the German tuner.
The extra power comes courtesy of a
tailor-made high-performance exhaust system, available with optional 999 fine
gold plating that dissipates heat more efficiently. Other mods include sport
springs (lowered ride height by 35 mm) and staggered forged
wheels (21 and 22- inches) from Vossen.
Novitec will also “tailor every detail of
the cockpit to the owner’s personal taste,” meaning you can have your leather
and Alcantara in any desired color. It goes without saying that these mods are
available for both the SP1 as well as the SP2.
