Novitec’s twin-supercharger Evoluzione pack for the Ferrari F430 has been on the market since April of last year but until now the German tuner never offered the kit for the equally potent F430 Spider convertible. Featuring the same twin Rotrex superchargers as its hardtop sibling, the Novitec-tuned Spider pumps out an Enzo-rivalling 656hp and leaves the standard model with only 490hp eating its dust.
For the extra power, engineers added a pair of twin Rotrex superchargers, which increased the pressure of air being fed to the engine. Additionally, the engine’s electronic management system was tweaked with a Motronics ECU and a wind-tunnel tested aerodynamic package with a new rear-spoiler was added. Acceleration figures remain much the same as the hardtop, with the 0-100km/h coming up in just 3.7 seconds and top speed climbing to 348km/h.
Other features of the package include a separated oil-circuit, a heat insulated induction tract, water-cooled intercoolers with water pumps and additional radiators, upgraded fuel injectors and reinforced drive belts with dynamic tensioners.
