Sometimes Novitec can even devote itself to transforming electrical models (the Tesla Model 3 we told you about a while ago is a good example), however, this does not mean that the Bavarian preparer has given up on transforming internal combustion models , and this Ferrari 488 Pista proves it.
Aesthetically, the transformation was discreet. Still, the new 21” front and 22” rear alloy wheels and the various carbon fiber details (as in the mirror covers) stand out. According to Novitec these help improve aerodynamics, as do the new front spoiler or the aerodynamic side mounts.
The 488 Pista also received a hydraulic suspension system that reduced its height to the ground by 35 mm. In addition, this system also allows raising the front of the 488 Runway by around 40 mm to avoid “first-degree immediate encounters” with bumps and other depressions.
Power, power everywhere
If you're one of those people who think the 720 hp and 770 Nm of the 488 Pista “knew a little bit”, then you'll be pleased to know that Novitec decided to offer more power to the 3.9 l twin-turbo V8 that equips the Cavallino Rampante brand's model.

Thus, through a new engine control unit (ECU) and a titanium exhaust system, Novitec increased power to 802 hp and maximum torque to 898 Nm , that is, it gave another 82 hp and 128 Nm to the 488 Track.
This increase in power and torque makes the Ferrari 488 Pista prepared by Novitec capable of fulfilling 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.7s — as if before the 2.85s it took were slow — and reaching a top speed of 345 km/h, a value that is higher than the 340 km/h achieved by the… 1000 hp SF90 Stradale!
