Spring is drawing near, and Novitec are preparing for the arrival of a new sister for the F430 Coupé: enter the Novitec F430 Spider powered by the same twin supercharged V8 as the Novitec Bi-Compressor Evoluzione. Thanks to the two superchargers which work at 0.38 Bar, the power output will increase the original 490 hp to a whopping 656 hp, achieved at 8200 rpm, however it is not simply the mechanics that have undergone changes. Following tests in the wind tunnels of the Research Institute for Motor Vehicles in Stuttgart, Novitec has developed new aerodynamic additions to the body comprising front and rear wings, skirts for the side panels and a rear extractor. Other changes include grey tinted lights and a body that sits on 20” rims adopted for this version, both of which are relatively small modifications to a creature from the Maranello dream factory, already magnificent in its original state.
After a long wait we can finally show you the new Ferrari F430 Scuderia.
The F430 Scuderia is an addition to the Ferrari range and it will be sold alongside the F430 Coupé and the F430 Spider. All thre F430s will share the same mechanical underpinnings, but the Scuderia will be lighter and more powerful, much nearer a race-car.
The Ferrari F430 Scuderia showcasees, once again, Ferrari’s expertise in competition and its willingness to transfer know-how from the racetrack to the road.
The F430 Scuderia has an incredbile 2,45 kg/hp power to weight ratio, the result of its 510 hp engine (at 8,500 rpm) and of a weight of only 1.250 kg. For a comparison, the new Porsche 997 GT2 has 530 hp with a weight of 1,430 kg, the same as the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera (530 Cv e 1.430 kg).
