Novitec Rosso Ferrari California with 500HP and Subtle Aero and Suspension Upgrades
Posted by wedos at 7:00 AM
Even the Ferrari California can't escape from the tuning claws of companies like Novitec Rosso that has revealed a comprehensive, yet subtle package for the hardtop roadster. The German tuners offerings include a tasty aero kit, suspension and engine modifications, new interior options and custom wheels.
Novitec Rosso starts under the hood, where it remaps the V8's ECU and adds a stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with metal catalysts and a flap actuator. With the upgrade, the 4.3-liter V8 engine gains an extra 40HP and 33Nm of torque raising output to 500HP and 518Nm (382 lb-ft). In addition, the engine's redline has been increased to 8,300 rpm.
In the suspension department, the California receives a set of sport springs that lower the ride height by some 35 millimeters while the tuner has developed a hydraulic front lift system that raises the front of the car by some 40 millimeters at the push of a button in the interior to allow drivers to safely navigate parking garage ramps or speed bumps.
The package includes an aerodynamic kit comprising of a front spoiler, rocker panel mouldings, black side markers, a newly designed diffuser for the rear apron and a spoiler lip on the trunk lid. All aero-components are made from lightweight yet high-strength clear-coated carbon fiber.
The tasty exterior upgrades are rounded off by a new set of 21-inch (front) and 22-inch (rear) alloy wheels wrapped in 255/30 Pirelli rubber at the front and 315/25 at the back.
Finally, the tuner offers a several options for the interior including custom-order leather or Alcantara upholstery.
