Novitec, located in Stetten, Bavaria, Germany, is a tuner that specializes in modifications for Italian marques such as Ferrari, Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Lamborghini. In 2007 Novitec also spawned Novitec Tridente, an arm of the business dedicated to Maserati tuning. Another division of the company, Spofec, focuses on tuning Rolls-Royce vehicles.
Novitec modifications are generally focused on performance oriented parts that improve the way Ferraris brake, handle and accelerate. In 2004 Novitec unveiled their first project: a twin-supercharged Ferrari 360 which made 565 hp (421 kW), up significantly from the stock number of 400 hp (298 kW).
The second Novitec Rosso project was to twin-supercharge the Ferrari F430. Novitec has released several versions of the car with an original 636 hp (474 kW) model and later with an upgraded 707 hp (527 kW) model. In an article in the Nov/Dec issue of Modified Luxury & Exotics magazine the author said after driving the car that, "It's a humbling experience to drive a car that can outperform your own desires, but it's not without its rewards."[1]
