Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano


Only three of the automotive masterpieces, the Novitec Rosso RACE 848, will be built. The two-seater car is based on the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano and celebrates its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2010.




Underneath the striking aluminum skin that sports the unusual color combination of matte white and grey beats an extremely powerful heart: The Novitec Rosso RACE 848 twelve-cylinder twin turbocharged engine produces 848 hp of power and has a peak torque of 621 lbs.-ft. Powered by this engine the car sprints from rest-to-60 mph in less than 3.4 seconds, to 186 mph in just 23.7 seconds, and reaches a top speed in excess of 214 mph.





The high-performance tubrochargers have an electronically limited boost pressure of seven psi. The chargers are driven by a cogged belt and have their own dedicated oil circuit. A large water-to-air intercooler with dedicated water circuit also contributes greatly to the optimal power. A custom-developed intake manifold, high-performance injectors, and sport air filter round out the engine conversion.





In addition, high-performance headers and a stainless-steel quad sport exhaust system with a pipe diameter of 3.5 inches are also installed. The intensity of the exhaust note can be adjusted with a little switch on the steering wheel called the “manettino.”





The Novitec Rosso engine management system all the parts work together to deliver. .





This level of performance places highest demands on well-balanced aerodynamic properties which received their finishing touches in the wind tunnel. The Novitec Rosso front spoiler lip reduces lift on the front axle. The rear apron is upgraded visually and aerodynamically with a rear diffuser. The Novitec Rosso rear wing further increases downforce.





The high-performance equipment also includes three-piece Novitec Rosso wheels shod with 275/30ZR-20 tires on the front and 355/25 ZR 21 tires on the rear.





The king-size wheels offer space for the high-performance brake system developed in cooperation with brake specialist Brembo. The system uses the largest brake components currently approved for street use; steel discs with a diameter of 16 inches and six-piston brake calipers.





The height-adjustable Novitec Rosso sport suspension also allows the damping rates to be set to the individual preferences of the future owners of the super sports car. The suspension’s lift function on the front axle can be activated with a push of a button in the cockpit. It raises the front of the vehicle by 1.6 inches to safely navigate such obstacles. Upon reaching a speed of 50 mph the suspension automatically reverts to its original drive position.





The interior of the Novitec Rosso RACE 848 offers an especially exclusive ambiance and features a limited edition plaque with the car’s serial number. The interior is built to the customer’s exact specifications and the customer can choose between a highly luxurious or a Spartan racing flair.
