Novitec modifications are generally focused on performance oriented parts that improve the way Ferraris brake, handle, and accelerate. In 2004, Novitec unveiled their first project: a twin-supercharged Ferrari 360[4] which made 565 hp (421 kW), up significantly from the stock number of 400 hp (298 kW).[5]
The second Novitec Rosso project was to twin-supercharge the Ferrari F430.[6] Novitec has released several versions of the car with an original 636 hp (474 kW) model[7] and later with an upgraded 707 hp (527 kW) model.[8] In an article in the Nov/Dec issue of Modified Luxury & Exotics magazine the author said after driving the car that, "It's a humbling experience to drive a car that can outperform your own desires, but it's not without its rewards."[9]
