NOVITEC ROSSO has taken a F430 Scuderia Spider 16M by the scruff of the neck and seemingly came out on top. Admittedly the tuner already had plenty to work with from the start. The basis is a normally aspirated 4.3-litre V8 producing 510hp (375kW) and peak torque of 470Nm. Its redline limit is set at 8,640rpm.

The NOVITEC ROSSO solution uses not one but two cogged-belt-driven high-performance superchargers with a maximum boost of 0.48 bar. Components added to assist the package include high-performance air filters, bigger injectors, larger cooling circuits for the water and oil, and dedicated cooling circuits for both compressors and the intercoolers. Its mate is an F1-SuperFast2 transmission.

All that remains is the release of 696 horses (512kW) into the stratosphere. Maximum pulling power is a stupendous 682Nm of torque made at 6,300rpm. The performance figures are just as impressive; 0 – 100km/h in 3.5 seconds, 0 – 200km/h in 9.7 seconds and 0 – 300km/h in 23.8 seconds. The top end reaches over 330km/h.

The custom-tailored high-performance Pirelli tyres come in size 235/30 ZR 20 at the front and 325/25 ZR 20 at the rear. Sportier springs have been fitted to lower the centre of gravity and improve handling while a hydraulic lift system is installed at the front end to lift the car by up to 40mm to help it negotiate obstacles like speed bumps and curbs.

NOVITEC ROSSO has put a price tag of €47,000 (USD66,000) on the tuning package. For that buyers get fantastic performance as well as an individualisation programme that should give each customer a supercar unlike any other on the road.

Japanese turning firm ASI has announced a new styling package for the Ferrari F430 and a new performance package for the Bentley Continental range (GT, Flying Spur, and GTC).

The ASI Ferrari sports a unique body kit that consists of a new front bumper, aggressive side skirts and a bold rear bumper. Although the parts were styled to provide similar aerodynamic performance to the components they replace, the ASI pieces weigh 27kg (59 lbs) less. To further maximize the F430’s appearance, ASI also offers a sporty new exhaust system which uses “Scuderia-style” center-mounted exhaust tips.

For the Bentleys, ASI has unveiled a new high performance exhaust system that has been specially engineered to deliver a thrilling exhaust note as well as increased power. When combined with ASI’s ECU tuning package, Bentley Continentals boast an insane 700 horsepower. The company has also announced a revised suspension lowering module which is easier to use, thanks to a new installation adapter.

Unique Sportscars and Novitec Rosso have teamed up to create a limited production run of 11 specially designed Ferrari F430s.

Dubbed the Calavera, the unique supercars are based on Novitec Rosso’s Ferrari F430 Race and feature an airbrushed exterior by artist Knud Tiroch. As one would expect, the exterior prominently boasts a large skull on the hood (Calavera is Spanish for skull), darkened taillights, tinted windows, and 20-inch wheels. The interior also gets a modest makeover with embroidered seats, an elongated center console, and iPod connectivity.

Like the F430 Race, the Calavera is powered by a twin-supercharged version of Ferrari’s 4.3-liter V8 engine which produces 707 horsepower and 712 Nm of torque. Thanks to Novitec Rosso’s superchargers, the F430 Calavera rockets from 0-100 km/h in 3.5 seconds before hitting a top speed of 348 km/h (216 mph). Other performance goodies include a Novitec Rosso front spoiler and rear wing, revised gear ratios, and a lowered sports suspension.

Novitec Rosso has a new tuning programme for the Ferrari F430 Scuderia Spider 16M. Ferrari will be making only 499 units of the 16M and just in case some potential customers aren’t satisfied, Novitec Rosso reckons it has the answer. Pictured here is the Novitec Rosso Scuderia Spider 16M but with notably more bite.

The tuner known for getting more out of standard Ferraris has fitted twin superchargers to the 16M. Power should be up by an estimated 186hp (139kW) on the factory model to 696hp (519kW). In comparison the stock vehicle’s V8 has a maximum power output of 510hp (380kW). It will push the car from 0 – 100km/h in 3.7 seconds and let it go as fast as 315km/h (196mph). Therefore it would be fair to assume the more powerful Novitec car will outsprint and ultimately outrun a normal F430 16M Scuderia Spider.

Judging from these initial pictures it appears that Novitec has not changed the exterior looks too much. The only alterations that really stand out are the darkened rear lights and of course custom painted NF3 wheels. Full details and more images will be published as soon as we get them.

The Ferrari F430 Scuderia is one car most people would have no problem in adding to my fantasy garage, the 510 horsepower supercar capable of doing 320km/h is more than sufficient to to satisfy most of our lusts. But should you wish for something a little extra why not enlist the help of specialist Ferrrari tuner Novitec Rosso who have just released their own tuning package boosting the engine up to a monstrous 717 horsepower bringing the top speed up to 348km/h and the 0-62mph time down to just 3.5 seconds.

The engine gets new belt driven twin-superchargers with a limited boost pressure of 0.48 bar, the heat insulated intake manifold have been redesigned to provide the engine with pre-compressed air and the it also gets two high performance air filters and eight larger injectors. The extra heat generated from the additional power is cooled with a higher capacity coolant system.

The subtle interior modifications include a new flat bottomed sports steering wheel featuring leather and carbon fibre materials as well as carbon-fibre shift paddles.
