Frankfurt Show: Ferrari 599 GTB by Novitec Rosso


Not so sure about the eye-catching rear wing, but overall, Novitec Rosso’s sport package for the Ferrari 599 GTB that consists of a styling kit along with engine and suspension upgrades, receives a thumb up from us. The subtle exterior kit includes a front lower spoiler, side skirts with larger air intake openings, side flaps, rear wing and rear diffuser, LED tail-lamps and black side indicator. The 599 GTB also gets 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. -Continued after the jump

Thanks to the engine control unit upgrade and exhaust system with slightly larger 90mm dual tips, the 599 GTB’s V12 receives an additional 25hp pushing overall output to 645hp. For those still not satisfied, Novitec Rosso is developing a bigger power upgrade for the V12 which is expected to be released sometime in 2008.

As for handling, Novitec added an adjustable aluminum suspension manufactured by KW Automotive which allows ride height to be changed simply by pressing a button. Finally, the 599 GTB’s braking power has been upgraded with the addition of specially fabricated Brembo six piston calipers with 405mm brake discs on all four wheels.
