Tasteful refinements with aerodynamic benefits characterize the NOVITEC ROSSO
design program for the sports car from Maranello. All aerodynamic-enhancement
components are made from especially lightweight yet high-strength clear-coated
carbon fiber.
The NOVITEC ROSSO front spoiler attaches to the production bumper and lends the
sports car an even more striking face. Its sophisticated shape further reduces
lift on the front axle for even better directional stability at high speeds.
The sides are upgraded with striking NOVITEC ROSSO rocker panel moldings for an
even more clearly defined racing look. Black side markers add further individual
highlights.
To reduce lift on the rear axle and thus achieve an optimal aerodynamic balance
NOVITEC ROSSO equips the California with a newly designed diffuser for the rear
apron and a spoiler lip on the trunk lid.
Three-piece NOVITEC ROSSO NF3 wheels also play a major role in the even more
stunning appearance of the refined Ferrari. By choosing a staggered combination
of size 9Jx21 wheels in front and size 11.5Jx22 on the rear axle NOVITEC ROSSO
further emphasizes the wedge shape of the car. Technology partner Pirelli
supplies high-performance tires custom-tailored to this Ferrari. The front axle
features tires in size 255/30 ZR 21. In the rear tires in size 315/25 ZR 22
provide optimal traction.
NOVITEC ROSSO sport springs are custom-calibrated to match these
ultra-low-profile tires, and lower the ride height by some 35 millimeters. At
the same time the NOVITEC ROSSO specialists have developed an additional feature
to further improve the everyday utility of the Ferrari California. The NOVITEC
ROSSO hydraulic front lift system raises the front of the car by some 40
millimeters at the push of a button in the interior. That allows drivers to
safely navigate parking garage ramps or speed bumps. At a second push of the
button or automatically when reaching a speed of 80 km/h the front reverts to
its original position.
Even faster throttle response and more power characterize the first NOVITEC
ROSSO tuning stage for the Ferrari California, which increases power output of
the 4.3-liter V8 engine by 40 hp / 29.4 kW to 500 hp / 368 kW. Simultaneously
peak torque grows from 485 to 518 Nm at 5,300 rpm.
This injection of extra power comprises on the one hand a newly calibrated
engine management system with custom mapping for injection and ignition,
including a new higher redline speed of 8,300 rpm. The tuning package also
includes the NOVITEC ROSSO stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with
metal catalysts and a flap actuator operated from the Manettino switch on the
steering wheel.
NOVITEC ROSSO fulfills customer demands for interior customization with
perfectly finished leather and Alcantara interiors. The choice of available
colors and meticulously sewn upholstery designs is virtually unlimited.
