Novitec Rosso California T: open-air brutality

Anonim

It's hard enough not to associate the Novitec name with Ferrari models and whenever the Rosso designation comes into the picture, it can only mean that the purest acoustic notes will come out of an exhaust system. The Ferrari California T debuts the brand's new tuning kits.

There's not much to say, but the little that can be said is that Novitec took the rookie Ferrari California T and immediately operated its magic, in a model that already gives us 560 horsepower.

What is the result of this Novitec operation?

A reprogramming of the electronic engine management and a tailor-made exhaust for this model unlocked another 86 horsepower, meaning the Novitec Rosso California T is a transfigured machine, with 646 horsepower at a galloping 7400rpm and a maximum torque of 856Nm at 4600rpm.

Worried about Turbo-lag?

The performances give us 323km/h of top speed and a start from 0 to 100km/h in 3.3s. To maintain the California T's dynamic credentials, Novitec submitted it again to the wind tunnel to improve even more the aerodynamics. Improvements were possible with the use of more carbon fiber body parts, a 35mm lower suspension and a new set of Pirelli tyres. The California T turns now better than ever.

Novitec's forged wheels stand out – they are the NF4 model, 21 inches at the front and 22 inches at the rear.
