The Ferrari 458 Italia tuning by Novitec uses the “Rosso Scuderia” livery with black roof, 21-inch red rim wheels and a dedicated aerodynamic kit. The Ferrari V8 Novitec Rosso engine mods take the unit to 609 hp (an extra 39), with torque of 569 Nm at 5,400 rpm.
The 458 Italia also saves 21 kg on weight thanks to a new carbon airbox and Inconel exhaust. The car has been lowered by 35mm but has a hydraulic function to heighten it when negotiating obstacles. The aerodynamic kit includes a new spoiler, side skirts, mirrors and carbonfibre diffuser. Ignore the music, but check out the new video above of the Novitec Rosso 458 Italia.
Let’s forget we’ll see the new Ferrari FF at the Geneva Motor Show, and concentrate on the previous model which Ferrari fans got all excited about: the 458 Italia. Considered Ferrari’s return to form, the Novitec Rosso 458 Italia tuning will go on show and you can’t get a Ferrari much better than this.
The hot 458 Italia gets mostly new accessories as the V8 has been only slightly modified at this stage. It gets a new carbon fibre airbox and Inconel exhaust saving 21 kg off the original. New engine remapping has achieved an increase of 39 hp for a total of 609 hp. Torque is also up from 540 Nm to 569 Nm.
The Ferrari has been lowered further but is fitted with the hydraulic raising system (just as well because I would never have got this in my garage otherwise…). A new set of wheels is included as is a new spoiler, side skirts and mirrors after wind tunnel tested was carried out. A carbon fibre diffusor and roof panels complete the package.

Here’s a look at the Ferrari California tuning by Novitec. Both the engine unit and look of the car have been modified as part of the Novitec Rosso program. A new carbon fibre aerodynamic kit has been added, including a front spoiler, side skirts, diffuser and rear wing. New 21 and 22-inch alloy wheels are available with tyres measuring 255/30 and 255/30. The California has been lowered, but a system of raising the front by 40 mm has been included for speed bumps, garage entrances and other obstacles.
The V8 motor has new engine mapping and stainless steel exhaust with metal catalysts and internal valves, compatible with the eletronic shift. The 4.3-litre engine now reaches 500 hp and 518 Nm of torque, with a rev limit increased to 8,300 rpm. Check out the California Novitec tuning gallery below, and add this to your dream Christmas list.
