Novitec N-Largo Ferrari 812 Superfast Is Wider, Faster, Stronger


Earlier this year, Novitec released an aerodynamic kit for the Ferrari 812 Superfast complete with a lowered suspension and high-performance exhaust system for the car’s 6.5-liter V12 engine.

Now it’s time for the German tuner to unleash its full range of upgrades aimed at Ferrari’s ultra-quick grand tourer. We’re talking about a widebody version that completely transforms the 812 Superfast’s looks, complemented by hi-tech forged wheels and a power upgrade.


Under the label Novitec N-Largo, the elaborate bodywork modification for the Ferrari 812 Superfast gives it the looks of a street-legal race car. Made entirely of carbon, the widebody kit adds a width of 140 mm (5.5 inches) at the rear axle and 70 mm (2.75 inches) at the front axle of the Italian supercar, while also improving the its aerodynamic efficiency.

The Novitec N-Largo widebody kit has been created in cooperation with designer Vittorio Strosek who has taken aerodynamic inspiration from Formula 1 for the fenders. There’s a clear motorsports vibe to the exterior styling modifications, from the naked-carbon central front spoiler to the massive diffuser and fixer rear wing.


Filling the larger fender wells are Novitec NF 10 NL hi-tech forged wheels, developed specifically for this car in cooperation with U.S. wheel manufacturer Vossen. The rims come in a staggered setup (21 inches at the front and 22 inches at the rear) and feature an extremely concave design with five filigree double-spokes. The 12.5Jx22 rear wheels are shod with massive 335/25 ZR 22 Pirelli P-Zero high-performance tires, while the front 10Jx21 wheels wear 275/30 ZR 21 tires.

The tuned Ferrari 812 Superfast also comes with a revised suspension featuring sport springs that lower the ride height by about 35 mm (1.4 inches). There’s also a Front Lift system available for the front axle which raises the nose of the car by about 40 mm (1.6 inches) at the touch of a button.


Finally, Novitec engineers are also developing a performance upgrade for the naturally-aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine. Via new mapping for the ECU, they target a maximum output of 840 PS (829 hp) at 8,750 rpm and a peak torque of 751 Nm (554 lb-ft) at 7,300 rpm. Thanks to the extra 40 horses and 33 Nm (24 lb-ft), the 812 Superfast should sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.8 seconds and top out at 345 km/h (214 mph). Compared to the stock car, those are relatively modest gains of 0.1 seconds and 5 km/h, respectively.

Novitec also recommends that Ferrari 812 Superfast owners fit a high-performance quad exhaust system which optimizes the power delivery by reducing the exhaust back pressure and produces a spectacular V12 exhaust note. Available with or without actively controlled exhaust flaps, Novitec’s exhaust system is made of stainless steel or Inconel, saving up to 11 kg (24.2 lbs) in the process.


Finally, the Bavarian tuner can also tailor the 812 Superfast’s cockpit to the customer’s preferences; for example, by using leather and Alcantara in any desired color.

Limited Edition Ford GT 'Competition Series' Is All About The Track

Image
Ford's new GT Competition Series was built with weight-saving in mind, but also with an improved center of gravity for better road-holding. Among its features, you'll notice the lightweight carbon fiber racing stripes, A-Pillars and side mirrors, as well as the unique race-inspired Perspex acrylic engine hatch with integrated venting. Thanks to the manual latch and the carbon fiber prop rod, weight near the roof has been reduced, though Ford engineers went even further in their quest to make the car lighter, by making the bulkhead Gorilla Glass behind the driver about half as thick (and as light) as on other models. "The Ford GT has racing in its blood," said Ford exec Raj Nair, while adding that the Competition Series "was developed with the most hardcore track enthusiasts in mind, providing a tailored set of lightweight features and unique livery to match." There are also plenty of remaining performance features from the production car, such as ...

Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet Is A Crossover For Droptop Lovers

Image
Droptop crossovers have always been rather odd and the T-Roc Cabriolet is no different. It will be the only convertible Volkswagen on sale for the foreseeable future and will celebrate its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Rather than simply removing the roof of the standard T-Roc, Volkswagen has drastically altered the vehicle’s structure and body. In fact, its wheelbase is 37 mm longer than the standard T-Roc while its overall length is up by 34 mm. In addition, the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet features structural strengthening in the underbody, side panels, cross members, doors, and windscreen frame to make up for the lack of a roof. The folding fabric roof developed by Volkswagen retracts in just nine seconds at speeds of up to 19 mph (30.5 km/h) and is similar in operation to the roof of the outgoing Golf Cabriolet. The presence of the soft top reduces trunk space by 161 liters down from the 284 liters of the run-of-the-mill T-Roc. We don’t think bu...

Alpine A110 Hits Geneva With Pure, Legende And GT4 Versions

Image
Renault’s reborn Alpine brand has been getting rave reviews for its new A110 and now, as promised, it’s revealed new versions of its coupe at the Geneva Motor Show. Following the success of the sold-out Premiere Edition, the A110 will now be offered in Pure and Legende trims. The A110 Pure is targeted at driving enthusiasts. It features one-piece Sabelt sports seats that weigh barely more than 13 kilograms (28.6 pounds) each and, combined with other weight-saving measures, helps keep the curb weight below 1,100 kg ( 2,425 lbs). It’s not entirely stripped out, though, and still comes with features like air-conditioning and satellite navigation. Buyers can also add upgraded Brembo brakes and an adaptive exhaust system and can upgrade to the adjustable comfort seats. Those come standard on the Legende model, which is geared more towards every day driving and grand touring and comes with leather upholstery. Customers can also choose between two Focal sound systems and two wheel...
