Novitec Ferrari F430 Tu Nero

If modified Lamborghinis aren't your thing then perhaps a tuned Ferrari F430 may appeal. This sinister looking beast is the latest creation of supercar-tuner Novitec Rosso and is dubbed the F430 TuNero. Apart from the all-black paint scheme, the car sports a pair of race-grade superchargers with modified turbine blades and individual oil coolers, an enlarged induction tract with heat insulation as well as new water-cooled intercoolers that are twice the size of the units in the previous SuperSport F430.

Other upgrades include a beefed up water pump, new high-flow air filters, larger fuel injectors and a new air-duct below the chassis. To make sure all the modifications work in harmony, engineers reprogrammed the engine’s ECU for optimal results.

The end result is peak output of 707hp (520kW) at a staggering 8,350rpm and maximum torque of 712Nm at 6,300rpm. When combined with Novitec’s modified gearbox, the F430 TuNero is claimed to reach a top speed of 348km/h and should complete the 0-100km/h dash in just 3.5 seconds.

How can you do all that great stuff to a future classic and put that childish skull on it?

Can't buy taste!

Another group of people that deserve to have their kidneys kicked until my boot breaks.

Not sure if I would trust a tuner that can't get tire pressures right! (Last picture, damn tire is flat!) Flat black sucks by the way.

aaaaa.... what a work of art..
sure there are some bits that we could do without - the skull.. and some bits that we could do with - more air..

but all in all it looks menacing..
and perfect for a stealth night out..

Everything that I am looking for and more. I never thought that I would ever want to purchase another black car again. Well I'm sold. This car or beast is awesome!
