Novitech Ferrari F430 Scuderia


As if the F430 Scuderia, which could lap the Fiorano test track faster than an Enzo is not enough, Novitec; the tuner that does Fiats to Ferrari had unleashed the Novitec Ferrari F430 Scuderia.

Normally we would've expect stripped out versions of Ferrari would have nothing left to be improved upon, especially considering a Scuderia that already had no carpets, welding lines exposed and carbon fiber everywhere; it would be almost unimaginable to find anything to be improved upon.

Well we're proven very wrong, and the concept is very simple.

Rather than sitting under the car with some philosophical or Feng Shui books held under armpits (after going thru all mechanical, engineering, thermodynamics, aerodynamic books) and looking for ways to refine the tuning of this car like a German would do (maybe polishing off the edges of the Ferrari logo to smooth out air flow) the Italians went berserk and decided that if you can't hit the target with a bullet, use a missile instead.

They went berserk and supercharged the Scuderia.

Twin superchargers sucking every cubic inch of air possibly available pumping out a tremendous 717hp!

Well of course they've upgraded the cooling systems, fuel injectors and air filter.

We at Wheels Weekly although loves and respects every super car, and most Ferraris, this is pure insane and we could almost imagine the ball of fire when the driver wheel spins at a high speed corner rams himself into a pine tree. Or perhaps catching fire even before it reaches third gear.

Nonetheless, if ever Novitec decides to give us one to prove us wrong, we would welcome it with 'dubious' looks. Ehem.
