Novitec Rosso Ferrari California

HI-RES GALLERY: Novitec Rosso Ferrari California

Unless you live in Maranello, it's not every day that you see a Ferrari on the street, much less a heavily tuned and modified one, but the carefully created black and tan Ferrari California from Novitec Rosso makes us wish it were a more common event.

A full 500 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque are on tap from the car’s modified V-8. The engine breathes a bit easier than stock as well thanks to a custom exhaust and high-flow catalytic converters.

That much power delivers true supercar-like performance of 196mph top speed and 3.9 second 0-62 mph runs--all with Ferrari style and comfort. That's a hard package to argue with.

In terms of appearance, Novitec Rosso has left the door wide open for its customers, with this example merely showing off some of what they can do. Unique, one-off or extreme high-end materials and design are available upon request.

Custom 21 and 22-inch wheels are available, as is an adjustable sport suspension and 35mm lowering springs. A custom front spoiler also attaches to the production bumper and lends the sports car an even more striking face. Its sophisticated shape further reduces lift on the front axle for even better directional stability at high speeds.

To reduce lift on the rear axle and thus achieve an optimal aerodynamic balance Novitec Rosso equips the California with a newly designed diffuser for the rear apron and a spoiler lip on the trunk lid.

The program is available now--all you have to do is supply your own Ferrari California and an adequate amount of cash.

    I am one of the few that actually likes the look of the California and can even some some very slight heritage cues in its design. The novitec package is very clean, nice, as usual it works with the factory design but makes it look even better. The power gain is nice though clearly this package won't be cheap, not a slam on it.

    You're not the only one, valentine's. I've never been quite sure why the Cali has gotten such a negative reaction from some people. Sure, it's not the fastest or most extreme Ferrari, but that's not its purpose. I've always thought it looked good, aside from the Lexus tailpipe nonsense. But that's a minor thing, just get an aftermarket one or simply change the tips. This one makes it look especially good. Definitely did not expect such subtlety from Novitec-Rosso. Call me crazy, but I actually prefer the design of the California to other recent Ferrari designs like the 360 Modena, F430, and 599. The new 458 is awesome, but its design is also a bit "busy" for my tastes.
