Default Novitec Rosso F575

The tuning company Novitec Rosso has got their hands on a 575M, as far as I have read there are no engine mods - which seems strange for them since they make a twin-supercharged 360 :shock:

I'm not sure about the rear spoiler but the rest looks sensational - I love the tinted tail lights

The front looks great with the moddified air intakes but the rear is hopless. I don't like spoilers on such cars and light tinting is pathetic IMO. A shame about the engine...

car looks great, tho I agree the spoiler doesn't work. only maranello that can get away with a spoiler is the 550LM, and even that one is pretty far out there. not a fan of those side skirts either, with the fake intake.

Yeah i agree, that front end is sexy but the back just looks wrong - it's a Ferraro for christ's sake. I'd love to see what these guys can do to a F430, maybe they'll have a crack soon - that twin supercharged 360 was awesome

I don't like it at all!!

The 575 is supposed to be a classic GT design... the spoilers, tinted lights, etc. just makes it rice. I really don't like it

The spoilers they use on the 575 and 360 are both very big and not so stylish but that's probably for added stability at high speeds. Other than the spoilers, the cars look perfect!

Nice little update dingo. Sweet pics too. I agree that it's a shame no forced induction, but perhaps in the future? Modding in this section of the market is very rare, so it's always nice to find the exotic exotics....

Lets hope it's a better performer than there twin supercharged 360. For the $100,000 you payed in total mods on the 360 it only improved by .3 seconds in the 1/4 mile and .2 to 60. The slalom only went from 69mph to 70.5 mph. The skidpad increased by .01. I think this is horribly sad for $100,000 in upgrades. I'm not a fan of Novitec after their bad showing with the 360.

I like the wheels very much. They're much better than the ones Ferrari is offering as an option or with the HGTC pack! I like the exhausts too, but I can't say they look better than the one of the HGTC pack. How it will sound I don't know. I think Novitec uses Capristo exhausts (at least they did on the 360), so it could very well be on a par.

The front spoiler isn't very well proportioned IMO and the rear spoiler, side skirts and tinted rear lights look downright vulgar to me.

I agree with Dani, if I wanted an upgraded Maranello, I'd get the ES Motorsports 550 LM. But then I sure as hell wouldn't tick the rear spoiler option box either. And of course get the wheels that resemble the OZs they used on the racing car.

looks really sporty. the front reminded me of the F355. Maybe it is the spoiler or something. great enhancement.
