Ferrari 599 GTB supercharger kit from Novitec Rosso

Recently, Novitec Rosso has released details about a new modified Ferrari 599 GTB that builds upon its previous version by adding a new forced-induction system. The new package consists of a subtle styling kit for increased downforace, as well as some mild handling upgrades, and a twin-turbocharging kit.

The engine is capable to produce a impressive output of 808hp (594kW) and 607lb-ft (823Nm) of torque and these are the result of the new twin compressor conversion. The top speed of the car is 340 km/h. This is 188hp (138kW) and 159lb-ft (215Nm) of torque more than the stock 599. In combination with the F1-Superfast transmission, the tuned 599 will sprint from rest to 100km/h in just 3.5 seconds, pass 200km/h after 9.7 seconds and reach 300km/h after 25.5 seconds.

A belt-driven twin-supercharging system is bolted to the engine, producing a relatively mild peak boost pressure of 5.65psi. The compressed air is then cooled down to a level conducive for added power by a large intercooler cooled by a dedicated water cycle. A specially designed intake manifold with high-performance injectors and a sports air filter round out the conversion on the intake side. Other powertrain mods include custom exhaust manifolds, a 90mm diameter stainless-steel quad exhaust system, and a retuned ECU.

For the exterior, Novitec Rosso produces a new front lip, side skirts with larger air intake openings, side flaps, a new rear wing and bumper with an integrated diffuser for the Ferrari 599 GTB. The car is fitted with 20 inch wheels for the front and 21 inch for the rear with 355mm Pirelli P Zeros. Other changes to the 599 include a KW Automotive adjustable aluminum suspension kit, as well as new 405mm brake discs with Brembo six piston calipers.
