The Ferrari 296 GTS is the latest supercar from Maranello to receive the Novitec treatment, following the example of the 296 GTB coupe from last year. The electrified exotic benefits from a modest power boost, discreet carbon fiber add-ons, new wheels, a lowered suspension, and a louder exhaust which can be better enjoyed with the roof down. Starting with the exterior, Novitec stays true to its subtle approach to Ferrari tuning. The front lip, side skirts, mirror caps, side intake garnish, diffuser, and ducktail spoiler are made of naked carbon, with a high-gloss sealer finish. The tuner even offers a cover for the rearview camera with a matching look.
All that carbon is cool but the most
striking element is the new Novitec NF10 alloy wheels produced in collaboration
with Vossen. They measure 21 inches at the front and 22 inches at the rear,
featuring five double spokes and 72 available color options with a brushed or
polished surface finish. Furthermore, a set of sports springs brings the
supercar closer to the ground by 35 mm, enhancing its low stance
and handling credentials. To protect the carbon fiber bits, Novitec added a
hydraulic system that raises the front axle by 40 mm.
As for the plug-in hybrid powertrain of
the Ferrari 296 GTS, Novitec brings the combined output from the stock 819 hp, to a healthier 856 hp. Of course, the
MGU-K electric motor remains intact, and all of the extra 38 hp comes from the twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 powertrain.
The power boost was achieved with the help
of flow-optimized turbo inlets, and the high-performance exhaust with 100-cell
sports catalysts. The latter goes much deeper than the dual 102-mm tailpipes, available in carbon coating or 999 fine gold plating. Depending on
the configuration, the exhaust system can be made from stainless steel or
Inconel. It also offers greater thermal insulation and is available with
actively controlled butterfly valves.
Last but not least, Novitec can freshen up
the interior of your Ferrari 296 GTS with new leather and Alcantara upholstery
in any desired color. As always, the tuner published a video with a
presentation of the modified supercar, detailing all of the available upgrades.
