Novitec Rosso tuning for the Ferrari 599 GTB
September 4, 2009 by George Skentzos
Ferrari tuner Novitec Rosso has turned its attention to the latest model to arrive into prancing horse showrooms, creating a potent new iteration of the 599 GTB.
The overhaul includes a performance kit which sees power from the V12 engine rise by more than 29kW, along with striking and aerodynamically efficient design enhancements and exclusive accessories.
The trademark Novitec twin-supercharged system lifts peak power to 594kW while an entry-level performance option increases power output from standard 456kW to 485kW without any alterations to the engine’s inner workings.
This conversion consists of new engine electronics and a complete Novitec stainless-steel exhaust system along with a new engine management system comprising new mapping for ignition and injection as well as increase in maximum engine speed to 8,550rpm.
In addition to the conventional exhaust system, a bi-modal exhaust system is also available which allows the driver to change the exhaust note using the Manettino switch on the steering wheel.
The unique Novitec body components have been fine tuned in a wind tunnel and include a front lip spoiler to reduce lift on the front axle, new rear wing and diffuser and new rocker panels with larger air damns – all available in a clear-coated carbon fibre finish.
Further Novitec exterior accessories include the trademark black taillights, side markers and auxiliary brake light as well as the new LED rear fog lights.
New sport suspension allows both the ride height and damper rates to be tuned according to customer preference, and also includes a nose-lift system which can raise the front of the car by 40mm before reverting back to normal height automatically at speeds over 80km/h or at the touch of a button.

God the white and black wheels looks fantastic.
Ferrari’s are fantastically engineered cars, but I personally find them on the slightly ugly side. Except the 430, only Ferrari I think that looks truly good.
Gotta disagree wif ya there Carfanatic, for me the F430 was let down by extraordinarily long front overhangs, which made it look awkward. Cool, but not beautiful.
My personal favourite exotic car at the moment and a classic IMO.. the 599 GTB!!
Anyone who doest like the looks of this car is in, the words of Jeremy clarkson: completely dead and should check themselves into a hospital.
and there I thought that a Ferrari was already highly tuned and honed to peak performance in the factory but seems they really can be riced up even more I guess.
