Ferrari California: Race Novitec Rosso 606 (horses)

The processing technique based on the most powerful and prestigious supercar on the market must take into account many more factors than the tuning that affects models made in large numbers, as evidenced by the Red Race 606. Less possible concessions to the Appendices of dubious taste, great attention to mechanics, Spatial and aerodynamics.

The first images of the nova car, built on the basis of the Ferrari California, rrivano directly from Germany, home to the Novitec: tuning company specialized in the development of Italian models. In recent months, Novitec - through its Red Division - had already intervened in a Ferrari with the 612 Scaglietti California from 573 hp and 500 hp.

In the case of Race 606, however, the technical update was even wider. The experience of previous achievements, in fact, allowed the Novitec Rosso from California to achieve a 606 hp (hence the name given to the car) and 603 Nm of torque. That is, compared to the version of the coupe-cabriolet, 4.3-liter V8 which develops 460 hp and 485 Nm of torque, a power increase of 32%.

The body of the race car 606 shows a subtle spoiler fitted at the bottom of the "nose", the engine bonnet air-intake ventilation, an aggressive - and useful, in this case - rear diffuser, as well as extensive use of elements carbon fiber. The structure, to cope with the increased Cavalry, has been replaced with a group of springs - shock absorbers and lowered to different heights, which reduces the "light" from the floor of the car up to 35 mm, the wheel assembly is made up of circles NF3 three separable elements, which are mounted on Pirelli PZero tires.

To lift the vehicle, a hydraulic system has been set up at the front, similar in all respects to the lifters used in motorsport. Under the hood, the Novitec preparing the first 4.3-liter V8 mounted in the front position on a Prancing Horse GT covered the installation of a turbocharger with intercooler, new intake manifold with a redesigned exhaust system so as to exploit the gas flow, larger injectors and the "mandatory" re-mapping the ECU.

With these changes, California - which keeps the 7-speed manual transmission with "knob" at the wheel - has won 146 hp and 118 Nm of torque. As for the performances by Novitec, the maximum speed is increased by about 5% (from 310 to 325 km / h) and acceleration gained 2 / 10: The transition from 0 to 100 km / h in just 3.8 is communicated seconds.

The prices of the preparation for the Race Novitec Rosso 606 will be announced in the coming weeks after the presentation of the car at the Geneva Motor Show 2011.
