Keep in Tune with the Novitec Rosso Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

We can imagine the frustration. You a third of a million dollars on a new Ferrari, then you pull up in front of your favorite restaurant and there are three more just like it. So what do you do? Novitec will help you out. The Dutch tuning house has made its reputation on modifying Maranello's finest. And since the 599 GTB Fiorano has been on the market for a few years already, the company's dedicated Ferrari tuning division, Novitec Rosso, has already had a go at the flagship V12 supercar. But not everyone is on the market for a twin-supercharged 800-horsepower monster. So Novitec has now released a more moderate package for the Fiorano.

Novitec's Stage 3 kit for the 599 keeps it simple with a modification to the engine control system and a new exhaust to boost power up by 40 prancing horses, for a total of 660. They've also fitted an adjustable suspension, 21" wheels, a carbon fiber aerodynamic package and offer a full range of options for customizing the interior as well. Prices start at 10,490 Euros, on top of the base car's $302k list price.

Ferrari 599 HGTE Package Now Available from Your Local Dealership

Exotic automakers are constantly tweaking and fine-tuning their products to stay ahead of the competition. Just look at recent examples like the Lamborghini Gallardo Valentino Balboni edition or Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster. But if you've already got one in your garage, you'll have to pony up all over again to get the new version...if you can get your hands on one. Ferrari, on the other hand, has taken a different approach with its revised 599 HGTE. Upgrading on the existing 599 GTB Fiorano, the HGTE package was unveiled at the Geneva auto salon just a few months ago bearing a host of improvements to the car's performance, handling and styling. But rather than leave its existing owners in a cloud of exhaust smoke and burnt rubber, Ferrari has announced that it is making the HGTE package available to existing owners of its premier V12 supercar.

Launching first in the UK, the HGTE package – complete with comprehensively revised suspension, grippier wheels and tires, a new exhaust system and more – can be had for £17,213 (about $28k in American greenbacks). For owners of newer models equipped with Ferrari's F1-derived sequential gearbox, an upgrade to the throttle response and transmission shift times is also available for an extra £2490. The kit can be installed by any certified local Ferrari dealer, and the only thing which the factory-equipped version gets that the upgrade package lacks is the interior trim kit.

Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano - Get In Line

It's not often an automaker makes its customers wait 24 months -- read: two years -- before they can get their hands on a vehicle. Ferrari can do that, or so it appears, with its new 599 GTB Fiorano, back in action as a two-seater, six-liter V12.

As one would expect, Ferrari spared no expense on the gizmos. Suspension/transmission settings abound, offering the driver to choose between settings for snow, rain, sport and race (or turning the CST off altogether), as if anyone is going to drive a Ferrari in the snow. 90 percent of the vehicles will come with optional F1 sequential paddle shifters, capable of shifting gears nearly as quickly as formula one cars. Under the hood is no joke either, what with 620 horsepower and 448 lb-ft of torque from the front-mid engine V12 launching the Fiorano up to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. Optional carbon ceramic brakes offer up enough stopping power to tame it, however.

Pininfarina can be credited with the design, and it's easy to say that it's sleeker and sexier than the 575M Maranello it replaces.
