You know the Ferrari 599? 611bhp, 0-60 in 3.7 secs? Yeah, that. And we know what you’re thinking. Could be quicker, right?
Well here you go. German tuner Novitec Rosso has done what definitely did not need doing, and beefed one up. Beefed it right up.
Some figures for you: 808bhp, 607 lb ft, 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. Oh, and TWO superchargers. Yep, they’ve bolted two huge blowers to the top of the engine, which work nicely with the re-mapped ECU, custom exhaust manifolds and a new air filter.
To keep the whole thing grounded, they’ve fitted an aero kit, with a new front spolier, side skirts, rear wing, and rear diffuser. The suspension is adjustable too, so it won’t wet itself when a corner arrives. The new 405mm brakes will help too.
So what’s next? We reckon the Enzo could be a bit quicker. Over to you, Novitec.

I can't be the only one that thinks the front end looks like a corvette can I.
