Making the
world's best sports cars even faster, more powerful and
more individual is the specialty of tuner Novitec Rosso.
A regular leading tuner for the cars from Maranello it
now also offers a sophisticated tuning program for the
new lightweight-design model Ferrari 430 Scuderia. At
the heart of the upgrade is the Novitec Rosso Supersport
Bi-Kompressor engine that bumps power output from
standard 510 hp / 375 kW to 717 hp / 527 kW and
increases top speed from 320 to 348 km/h.
There is no such
thing as a too powerful sports car. The Novitec Rosso
specialists have developed a special twin-supercharger
version of the Scuderia's four-valve eight-cylinder engine.
Each cylinder
bank is equipped with its own toothed belt driven
high-performance mechanical supercharger and a generously
dimensioned water-cooled intercooler. Boost pressure of the
superchargers is limited to 0.48 bar. A newly designed
heat-insulated intake manifold with larger ports provides
the engine with pre-compressed air. Two high-performance air
filters and eight larger injectors complete the engine
conversion on the intake side.
The perfect
interaction of all Novitec Rosso performance components is
coordinated by a newly programmed engine management system.
This benefits perfect running smoothness as well as maximum
power output and unquestionable durability. The conversion
further includes higher-capacity coolant systems for water
and oil plus additional dedicated coolant cycles for both
compressors and intercoolers.
The elaborate
Novitec Rosso Supersport Bi-Kompressor conversion is also
available for all other Ferrari F430 Berlinetta models and
costs 47,000 Euros. It delivers performance that sets it
apart even from other super sports cars. 717 hp / 527 kW at
8,350 rpm represent an increase in maximum power output of
207 hp / 152.3 kW over the production car. Simultaneously
peak torque grows from standard 470 Nm to 722 Nm at 6,250
rpm.
Performance of
the Scuderia benefits accordingly: The tuned Scuderia
sprints from rest to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds and
reaches 200 km/h after just 10.1 seconds. Only 26.1 seconds
pass before the two-seater reaches a speed of 300 km/h. But
the Novitec Rosso Bi-Kompressor also improves performance
beyond those speeds: Equipped with optionally available
longer gear ratios top speed increases to 348 km/h.
The
custom-tailored Novitec Rosso tyre/wheel combination for the
Ferrari offers more striking looks and further improved
driving dynamics. The stock Scuderia comes with 19-inch
wheels while the tuner offers three-piece 20-inch wheels for
this car.
The Novitec
Rosso NF3 double-spoke wheels were designed to in effect
widen the Ferrari's track thus allowing even higher
cornering speeds. They are mounted in size 8.5Jx20 in front
and in size 12Jx20 on the rear axle. Technology partner
PIRELLI provides custom-tailored high-performance tires in
size 235/30 ZR 20 in front and in size 325/25 ZR 20 in the
rear.
Novitec Rosso
sport springs further lower the centre of gravity and also
contribute to optimized handling characteristics. The tuner
further offers a suspension feature for the Scuderia that
optimizes its suitability for everyday use. The innovative
hydraulic lift system for the front axle can be activated
with a switch in the interior. With seconds the front is
raised by 40 millimetres, making entering underground
parking garages or driving over low curbs or speed bumps
much easier. Upon a second push of the button or
automatically when reaching a speed of 80 km/h, the front
reverts to its original position.
Novitec Rosso
refines the exterior of the Ferrari 430 Scuderia with
discrete components such as black tail lights, lateral turn
signals and reflectors. Novitec Rosso also offers exclusive
and functional details for the interior of the
lightweight-design Ferrari.
The Novitec
Rosso sport steering wheel with its leather/carbon-fiber
material combination features a flattened bottom for easier
entering and exiting of the vehicle while its ergonomically
correct shape provides optimal grip. The carbon-fibre
Novitec Rosso shift paddles are longer than their production
counterparts and make manual gearshifts of the F1-SuperFast2
transmission even easier. Scuderia owners can choose any
colours imaginable for the Novitec Rosso treatment of the
interior.
