Tuner Special: Novitec Rosso Ferrari F430

STETTEN, Germany — Ferrari owners don't normally think of Germany as a source for go-faster pieces for their F360s, 575 Maranellos and 612 Scagliettis.

But Novitec Rosso isn't your typical German tuning house. Specializing in Italian sports cars — especially exotic Italian sports cars — the firm recently put a modified F430 through a wind tunnel to demonstrate the efficacy of its aerodynamic add-ons. Turns out the Novitec aero kit is just as pleasing to the eye as it is effective in reducing lift and drag.

For further weight reduction, most of the pieces are available in high-strength carbon. For purely visual effect, Novitec offers a clear plastic engine cover.For more information, see the Novitec Rosso Web site.
