NOVITEC developed a performance upgrade for the Ferrari SF90 Spider with plug-in hybrid drive. The work focused on the V8 with two turbochargers. New maps for injection, ignition and the electronic boost pressure control were developed in complex testing. They are introduced into the engine management system of the two-seater by a NOVITEC N-TRONIC module for each cylinder bank. The developers identified further potential in the exhaust system. The production catalysts can be replaced with custom-developed 100-cell metal components, which optimize emission control. They ensure enhanced performance, as does the meticulously tuned NOVITEC highperformance exhaust system. High-temperature insulation lowers the temperatures in the engine bay, which likewise contributes to improved engine performance. The versions with 999 fine gold plating dissipate the heat particularly efficiently and are of course also very attractive to look at.
During the design and tuning of the system, the focus naturally also was on a thrilling exhaust note. Owners of an SF90 can choose between variants with and without electronic sound management by means of actively controlled butterfly valves. To give the rear appearance a further upgrade as well, NOVITEC also offers 112mm tailpipes with carbon embellishers. The combination of all NOVITEC high-performance components bumps peak output of the combustion engine by 80 kW / 109 hp and peak torque by 118 Nm. The three electric motors plus the tuned combustion engine's 654 kW / 889 hp at 7,300 rpm add up to a system output of 816 kW / 1,109 hp. As a result, the NOVITEC-tuned hybrid sports car accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in a mere 2.4 seconds and reaches 200 km/h in just 6.5 seconds. The top speed increases to more than 340 km/h. At these speeds, the aerodynamics play a crucial role. That is why the NOVITEC designers went into the wind tunnel to develop spoilers that further optimize the handling stability. All parts are made from naked carbon, which lends the #Ferrari full-blooded racing looks to boot.
