Novitec makes the Ferrari 12Cilindri's styling match its power

Last May, Ferrari launched the spectacular 12Cilindri, a new supercar that captivated us mainly for its naturally aspirated V12 with no kind of electrification under its bonnet, and not so much for its styling, which in my opinion is perhaps too restrained and not bold enough for a model with 830 CV of power, and which arrived to replace the beautiful 812 Superfast.

Despite everything, the Ferrari 12Cilindri is a truly beautiful car that anyone would want in their garage. Owners who are fortunate enough to have one and want to give it a more radical touch can always turn to Novitec, the German tuner specialising in modifying Maranello’s cars, and, as could only be expected, the latest addition to the Ferrari range has also passed through its workshops.

Novitec always stands out for adding its personal touch to every model it works on, and with the Ferrari 12Cilindri it is no different: a radicalised look without excess, keeping as much of the original styling as possible. Novitec has fitted a series of parts in carbon fibre and, starting at the front, the lower part of the bumper is modified with a new, larger splitter which obviously aids aerodynamics, blending perfectly with mouldings and side fins. A little higher up, on the bonnet, the air outlets now also feature carbon fibre trim.

Looking at the side view, we can see new carbon fibre inserts for the side gills located behind the front wheel arches and, at the bottom, the sills are also newly made from the same material as all the previous parts. These sills sit framed between the new wheels made by Vossen, measuring 22 inches at the rear axle and 21 inches at the front, the model in the photos wearing the NF11 version with a centre-lock nut and painted black, although Novitec offers the choice of several more colours. The rear now certainly draws even more attention, thanks to the new rear spoiler and diffuser, which gives greater prominence to the four exhaust outlets.

The exhaust will precisely be the star of this Novitec mechanical preparation, as the brand’s engineers are currently developing the changes they will make to the Ferrari 12Cilindri’s engine, so the 6,500 cc V12 continues to deliver a considerable output of 830 CV. Nevertheless, Novitec offers the option of fitting the various exhaust lines it has available, all developed to produce a unique, brutal and punchy sound, and fitted with active-control butterfly valves, also giving the rear a much more radical look thanks to the 112 x 100 mm outlets available both in black and in an exclusive 999 fine gold finish.

As for the interior, just as with the Ferrari itself, Novitec customers will be able to choose for their 12Cilindri from a wide variety of designs and materials, creating an interior to their own taste and feeling part of the project.
