Novitec Rosso has refined the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti with a customisation package that includes new larger wheels and tyres, power increase to 565 bhp, a stainless-steel sport exhaust system, new taillight design and upgrades for the interior.

2+2-seaters have a long and illustrious tradition at Ferrari and the 612 Scaglietti has seamlessly continued this story since its debut in 2003. To make this model even more exclusive and to add an even higher level of customisation Novitec Rosso is now offering new accessories such as a custom-tailored tyre and wheel combination, with available diameters of 20 and 21 inches, a power increase to 565 bhp (416 kW), a new design of stainless-steel sport exhaust system, a new taillight design and upgrades for the interior.

Wheels make a sports car and for a Ferrari the best is just good enough. The Novitec Rosso suspension specialists' have developed custom versions of the comapny's three-piece NF3 alloy wheels for the Italian sports car. The new wheels feature a design with five double spokes along with polished outer flanges. Contrary to the 19-inch production wheels, the 612 Scaglietti in Novitec Rosso trim sports a combination of size 9Jx20 wheels in front and size 12.5Jx21 rims on the rear axle. This measure benefits, not only the driving dynamics of the car, says Novitec Rosso, but also, and foremost, the coupe’s appearance. The staggered wheels further emphasise the wedge-shaped design of the two-door car. Pirelli's P-Zero tyre offers the perfect ultra-high-performance choice for this tyre and wheel combination that makes optimal use of the available space in the wheel wells. Tyres in the size 275/30 ZR 20 on the front axle provide extra grip during fast cornering and hard braking while tyres in the size of 355/25 R 21 on the rear axle allow even higher cornering speeds and provide maximum traction.

The exclusive look can be further upgraded with black Novitec Rosso lamps. The complete package comprises the four round taillights, the reflectors and the side markers.

A further cornerstone of the new Novitec Rosso program for the 612 Scaglietti is a new power increase as well as a sportier exhaust note. The inner workings of the V12 engine, with its displacement of 5,748 cm3, remain untouched so the power increase to 565 bhp (416 kW) at 7,290 rpm is the product of a newly calibrated engine management system and the addition of a new stainless-steel exhaust system. The tuning, claims Novitec Rosso, gives the V12 engine an even crisper response and lets it rev up even faster. Simultaneously peak torque grows to 609 Nm at 5,300 rpm. A top speed of more than 325 km/h and a sprint time for 0 – 100 km/h of just 3.9 seconds make the 2+2-seater an even more dominant sports car. The new Novitec Rosso sport exhaust system is an integral part of the power increase and also produces a new exhaust note. The Novitec Rosso exhaust is easily distinguished by its four 90-mm tailpipes cut at an angle.

Novitec Rosso upgrades the four-seater's interior according to customers’ personal preferences. The ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel comes in any color imaginable while customers can also freely choose the wheel’s material as well as the thickness of the rim. The rim is also flattened at the bottom for easier entering and exiting of the vehicle. Novitec Rosso also realises not only Ferrari owners’ personal material and colour selections when customising the interior, it also custom-tailors the seat to each customer’s body measurements. Special requests such as for seats with even more lateral support or a lowered seat position for especially tall drivers round out the interior customisation program.
