Novitec Rosso Slaps a Supercharger on the Ferrari California

Have you ever thought “My 460 horsepower Ferrari just isn’t quick enough. You know what it needs…over 600 hp. That’s the ticket.” If so, you’re in luck. Novitec Rosso, the gods of Ferrari tuning, just developed a supercharger kit for the new Ferrari California. It’s no simple power bump either – the 4.3-liter front-mounted V8 in the California jumps from a solid 460 hp – more than enough for most – to a whiplash-inducing 606 hp. Torque grows from 485 Nm to 603 Nm too, which means you’ll be burning through some serious rubber if you’re not careful.

Ferrari California Spider with 500HP V8 Tuned by Edo Competition

Supercar specialist Edo Competition is one of the first tuning firms to present a complete package with performance and styling accessories for Ferrari's newest creation, the California Spider. Modifications to the 4.3-liter V8 engine include a recalibrated ECU and an optional newly-developed high performance exhaust system featuring adjustable butterfly valves and custom designed high flow catalytic converters with a 200 cell per square inch metal core.

The result is an additional 40 horsepower and 12-lb/ft for a total output of 500HP and 369 ft-lb of torque at 5,200 rpm. The Edo Competition-prepped California Spider can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.9 seconds and achieve a top speed of 315 km/h or 196 mph (+5km/h compared to the factory model).

Customers can choose from a variety of newly-developed wheel and tire sets in 20 and 21 inches while the German tuner also offers a sport spring kit that lowers the Spider's ride height by 35mm as well as a sport suspension system with adjustable compression and rebound damping.

For the convertible's appearance, Edo Competition provides an array of upgrades including special interiors and specific leather upholstery while the company said that it also fulfills individual requests.
