Novitec turns the wick up further on Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale
Renowned tuner has extracted a bit more from the Prancing Horse's hybrid V8 flagship.
Ferrari models bearing the label 'XX' were always designed exclusively for driving on racetracks.
The SF90 XX Stradale, therefore, represents the first hybrid supercar to be developed in Maranello that offers the extreme performance properties of pukka GT race car, but that is still road legal.
More power
Enter Novitec where they start by fitting a high-performance exhaust system that not only provides a wilder exhaust note, but it also results in considerable performance improvement.

With the Novitec system, the SF90 XX Stradale's power output jump to 607 kW from the standard 587 kW. At the same time, torque of the combustion engine increases 804 Nm to 840 Nm.
Being a hybrid with battery electric assistance, the total system output of the SF90 XX increases to 780 kW.
Mechanical changes
The Novitec exhaust system consists of 100-cell metal catalysts, while all the components can be manufactured from either stainless steel or light Inconel, the high-end metal alloy also used to manufacture the exhaust systems in Formula 1.
The optimised exhaust gas routing lets the twin-turbo V8 expel the gases more efficiently. In addition, the thermally insulated system also lowers the temperature in the engine bay, which likewise contributes to the performance increase.

Even further improved heat dissipation of the Inconel variant can be achieved with optionally available 999 fine gold plating.
The Novitec mufflers are available with or without electronic sound management by means of actively controlled butterfly valves.
The sophisticated aerodynamics of the SF90 XX Stradale that are designed for maximum downforce remain untouched.

Designed with American manufacturer Vossen, the wheels are available in three different designs and in a variety of colours.
Novitec sports springs are available to lower the ride height of by about 25 mm at both axles. This ensures an even more aggressive look while also contributing to further optimised handling.
