Ferrari 599 GTB by Novitec Rosso

Set to be shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, Novitec Rosso has created their own subtle styling kit which is true to form as well as function for the already stunning 599 GTB. Increased down force as well as cooling is provided by the body kit consisting of front lower spoiler, side skirts with larger air intake openings, side flaps, rear wing and rear diffuser. As the final styling element, 20-inch type N3 wheels in the front and 21-inch in the rear with Pirelli P Zero 275/30 R20 and 355/25 R21 tires round out the styling package.

For performance, the mid engine 599 GTB gets additional 25hp to 645hp via control unit upgrade and exhaust system with slightly larger 90mm dual tips which are cut at an angle. Top speed increases by 5 km/h. Currently, Novitec Rosso is developing a bigger power upgrade which is expected to be released in 2008.

Handling is improved with an adjustable aluminum suspension manufactured by KW Automotive. Ride height is adjustable by pressing a button. This is a convenient feature for underground car parks or steep driveway aprons. Brakes are specially fabricated Brembo six piston calipers with 405mm brake discs on all four wheels.

Final touches include LED rear lamps and black side indicators.
