A maximum rated power output of 808
hp / 594 kW, a peak torque of 823 Nm and a top speed of more than 340 km/h, all
the result of a high-tech twin compressor conversion: Novitec Rosso endows the
Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano with even more superlatives through professional tuning.
The tuning is accompanied by an aerodynamic-enhancement kit developed in the
wind tunnel, three-piece 21-inch wheels with correspondingly calibrated sports
suspension, a high-performance brake system, and exclusive interior options.
As for the
Ferrari F430, Novitec Rosso relies on mechanically
supercharging the six-litre four-valve V12 engine of the
F599 with two compressors for boosting performance. The
cogged-belt driven high-performance superchargers produce a
maximum boost pressure of 0.39 bars, and are a lubricated by
their own dedicated oil circulation. The pre-compressed air
is then cooled down to a level conducive for added power by
a large intercooler that itself is cooled by a dedicated
water cycle. A specially designed intake manifold with
high-performance injectors and sport air filter round out
the conversion on the intake side.
In addition, Novitec Rosso
installs custom exhaust manifolds calibrated to the twin
compressors, and the Novitec Rosso stainless-steel quad
sport exhaust system with a tailpipe diameter of 90
millimetres. The exhaust note can be adjusted using the 'manettino'
switch on the steering wheel from 'sporty yet discrete' to
'definitely sounds like racing.'
The Novitec Rosso
engine management coordinates the perfect interaction of all
conversion components. It not only ensures maximum power
yield but also exemplary smooth running and maximum
longevity. Compared to the production engine the Novitec Rosso
Bi-Kompressor V12 gains 188 hp / 138.4 kW for a new maximum
of 808 hp / 594 kW at 7,800 rpm. At the same time peak
torque grows by 215 Nm to a new peak of 823 Nm at 6,300 rpm.
In combination
with the F1-Superfast transmission, whose six speeds are
even faster and more precise to select thanks to longer Novitec Rosso
carbon shift paddles, the tuned F599 delivers performance on
the highest super sports car level: The sprint from rest to
100 km/h takes just 3.5 seconds. 200 km/h are reached after
just 9.7 seconds. And a sprint time of 25.5 seconds from 0 -
300 km/h places the tuned two-seater firmly among the
fastest accelerating sports cars in the world. Top speed is
more than 340 km/h. The Novitec Rosso Bi-Kompressor engine
conversion is available for 46,900 Euros.
Such performance
places extreme demands on perfectly balanced aerodynamics.
The Novitec Rosso designers went into the wind tunnel to
develop aerodynamic-enhancement components that add some
visual pizzazz to the 599 and make it more aerodynamically
efficient. The front spoiler lip is attached to the
production bumper and reduces lift on the front axle. Its
aerodynamic counterpart in the rear is the rear diffuser
that can optionally be combined with a rear spoiler.
The Novitec Rosso
rocker panels calm the airflow between the wheel houses and
with their large air inlets optimize the supply of cooling
air to the rear brakes. Novitec Rosso
aerodynamic-enhancement components are also available in a
clear-coat carbon-fibre version. The exterior can be further
refined with black side markers and black taillights as well
as with LED auxiliary brake light and reversing light.
The extensive
high-performance package for the 599 also includes
custom-tailored Novitec Rosso NF3 light-alloy wheels with
high-performance tires from Pirelli. The tree-piece wheels
with five double spokes measure one inch more in diameter
than the stock wheels. The front axle is fitted with size
9Jx20 rims and size 275/30 ZR 20 tires. The rear wheels in
size 12.5Jx21 with size 355/25 ZR 21 tires provide maximum
traction.
These king-size
wheels offers space for the high-performance brake system
developed in cooperation with Brembo. The brake uses the
largest components currently legal for street use. The front
and rear features steel discs with diameters of 405
millimetres and six-piston brake callipers. Together they
offer an optimal combination of maximum stopping power and
endurance.
Bound and
rebound of the height-adjustable Novitec Rosso sport
suspension can be adjusted to each 599 owner's individual
preferences. In addition the suspension also offers a highly
useful lift feature that is activated by pushing a button in
the cockpit. The front of the car can be raised by 40
millimetres to navigate safely past obstacles such as
parking ramps or speed bumps without scraping the front
apron. The suspension automatically reverts to its original
position once the car reaches a speed of 80 km/h.
Novitec Rosso
offers the ultimate refinements for the interior of the
Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. The list of options ranges from a
leather/carbon-fibre sport steering wheel with flattened
bottom for easier entering and exiting, to aluminium foot
pedals, to a completely new interior in any colour and
material combination imaginable.
