A new car has been released by Ferrari took type in Spider
Concept. Its name is 2012 Novitec Rosso Ferrari 458 Spider. Carbon fiber is not
only the top choice in Formula 1 racing, but also for the NOVITEC ROSSO
aerodynamic-enhancement components for the Ferrari 458 Spider. The designers
concentrated not merely on striking looks, but first and foremost on
aerodynamic efficiency, which was fine-tuned in the wind tunnel of the
University of Stuttgart.
The standard front fascia is upgraded with a two-piece front
spoiler and side flaps for further reduced lift at high speeds. To round out
the carbon-fiber look the wings in the air scoops and the ventilation grilles
in the front fenders are also manufactured from this material. Tasteful
carbon-fiber covers on the exterior mirrors complete the ensemble.
Further NOVITEC ROSSO styling features are black taillights,
which are also emphasized visually with carbon-fiber bezels, black side markers
and the black auxiliary LED brake light.
The new NOVITEC ROSSO NF4 forged wheels perfectly combine
visual assets with increased driving dynamics thanks to reduced unsprung
weight. To give the Ferrari even more of a wedge-shaped appearance a staggered
tire/wheel combination with diameters of 21 and 22 inches was developed.
Despite their king-sized dimensions – 9Jx21 in front and 12Jx22 on the rear axle – these wheels with five delicate double spokes weigh just 21.8 lbs and 29.7 lbs. This makes the NOVITEC ROSSO wheels some of the lightest of their type in these sizes. Technology partner Pirelli supplies PZero high-performance tires in sizes 255/30 ZR 21 and 335/25 ZR 22. The popular three-piece NOVITEC ROSSO NF3 wheels with diameters of 20, 21 and 22 inches will continue to be available as an option.
This makes the 458 Spider perfectly suited for an extra helping of power. The most powerful version to date is the NOVITEC ROSSO Performance Level 1. In this case the 4.5-liter V8 is fitted with a special carbon-fiber air box with modified air routing and a NOVITEC ROSSO high-performance exhaust system. The exhaust system, manufactured from INCONEL, a highly stress-proof yet extremely lightweight material also used on exhausts for Formula 1 engines, consists of two high-performance manifolds, sport catalysts and a rear muffler. The latter is optionally available with a butterfly valve for changing the exhaust note with the Manettino on the steering wheel. The sport exhaust plays not only a crucial role in the increase in power by 39 hp, it also weighs 46.2 lbs less than the production exhaust.
