2011 Ferrari 458 Italia "Twins" by Novitec Rosso


 
  Review 
 
   

The Novitec Rosso-tuned Ferrari 458 Italia was first introduced to us last March at the Geneva Motor Show. Fast forward to today and the German automaker has released a couple of new iterations from the 458 Italia we saw last March, calling it the "Twins." No, we’re not talking about Skids and Mudflap from Transformers 2; we’re talking about two blazing hot Ferrari 458 Italias that were re-tuned by the world famous Ferrari tuner from Stetten, Germany.

The pair of supercars pretty much look alike, hence the name "Twins". Both carry the same red and black finish with plenty of carbon fiber details and a number of new items including a new front spoiler, flaps on both sides of the central air inlet, fender-mounted carbon fiber ventilation louvers, and carbon fiber mirror housings. About the only thing that distinguishes one from the other are the three-piece Novitec Rosso NF3 wheels with one model receiving a gloss black finish while its counterpart receives a scarlet red finish.

As for the powertrain, the 458 "Twins" received the same engine upgrade we saw in Geneva in the form of a carbon-fiber airbox, a high-performance exhaust system, and an ECU remap. All these changes took the output of the 458 Italia’s 4.5-liter V8 engine from 570 horsepower all the way up to 609 horsepower at 9,100 rpm and a peak torque from 398 lb-ft all the way up 420 lb-ft.

Novitec Rosso has even released a preview video of the 458 "Twins", which we highly advise you watch, just so you can start drooling over this pair of Italian exotics that were given the best possible German upgrades.

I think the Ferrari 458 Italia don’t need any tuning or add ons at all. This beautiful car is perfect and Ferrari made it as its finest. For me, I’ll stick to the regular one.

Nice, this one is definitely eye candy, and they got two of the there, lovely. I really am quite amazed at how Novitec was actually able to make the car even better the second time around.

Its a good thing that this tuning company included the engine upgrade on their package. However, I just wonder on why they haven’t used a modern technology instead.

Wow! As expected from this vehicle the speed performance is great and it gets even better with the boost power output made in the aftermarket version. And I think there’s no speed limit for this car!
