Novitec Rosso Tunes Ferrari FF to Nearly 700 HP, Adds Gobs of Carbon Fiber

Novitec Rosso Tunes Ferrari FF to Nearly 700 HP, Adds Gobs of Carbon Fiber imageFerrari tuner Novitec Rosso has applied its high-performance touch to the Italian sports car maker’s polarizing all-wheel-drive FF hatchback, gracing it with 692hp and 527 lb-ft of torque. In addition to the performance modifications, the tuning firm made changes to the FF’s exterior, dressing up the shooting brake with plenty of carbon fiber.

The four-seater Ferrari normally pumps out 651 hp and 504 lb-ft of torque from its 6.3-liter V-12, but Novitec’s reprogramming of the ECU is good for a bump in output of 42 hp and 23 lb-ft. Novitec also raised the rev limit to 8200 rpm and increased top speed, currently claimed to be 208 mph by Ferrari, by 3 mph. In addition to the electronic tweaks, Novitec equips the FF with a custom stainless steel exhaust system, which is less restrictive and also as much as 35 pounds lighter than the factory unit.
But since a Novitec Rosso build wouldn’t be complete without a few cosmetic modifications, the tuner applied its signature carbon fiber aero pieces to the FF. The car gets a carbon fiber front splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser, and both roof- and rear hatch-mounted spoilers. In addition, the front grille, side mirror accents, and taillight covers are also made out of the expensive composite material. For a more aggressive stance, Novitec offers lowering springs and an adjustable hydraulic suspension as well as a number of alloy wheel designs.
If the Novitec Stage 1 Ferrari FF kit making about 700 hp is too much for your tastes, two lower stages are offered. Then again, for those with a greater need for speed, the upcoming Ferrari F12 Berlinetta uses a version of the same V-12 with a claimed 211 mph top speed. But if you’ve already got a Ferrari FF and feel it’s too ordinary, Novitec may have a solution.
