As production of the Ferrari F430 comes to a close at the end of 2009, German based tuning company Novitec Rosso has given the F430 Scuderia one last hurrah with the introduction of the Edizione 747.
Named after the power produced by the new Novitec Rosso 747 Bi-Compressor engine, the Edizione 747 is one of the most powerful supercars and Ferrari F430 tuning programs in the world. Forcing air into the combustion chamber at 7.7 psi are two cogged-belt-driven superchargers and intercoolers each mounted on opposite cylinder banks. Cooling the engine are new water and oil radiators, with a dedicated water circuit for the intercooling system. Increasing the engine’s redline by 200 rpm to a screaming 8,840 rpm is a new Novitec Rosso engine management system.
With a power output of 747 hp at 8,500 rpm and 544 lb-ft. of torque at 6,300 rpm, Novitec Rosso has increased power over the naturally aspirated Scuderia by 237 hp and 197 lb-ft. of torque. Shooting to 62 mph takes less than 3.4 seconds for the Novitec Rosso Edizone 747, while 124 mph is reached in only 9.4 seconds for the Edizione 747. Optional longer gear ratios allow the car to achieve a top speed of 218 mph.
Lowering the Edizione 747 by 1.3 inches are Novitec Rosso Ferrari sport springs that allow for greater handling dynamics. To avoid obstacles and make the car more suitable for everyday use is an optional hydraulic lift system, raising the front axle by 1.6 inches. The system can be controlled from inside the car with the push of a button, allowing the driver to raise and lower the car. At 50 mph the car will automatically lower to itself to its original position if the button is not pushed.
A two-tone matte yellow and gray color scheme gives the Edizione 747 a distinct presence. Black taillights, side markers, and reflectors complete the sporty appearance. Engine components dressed in carbon fiber with a matte finish allude to the Edizione 747’s racing character. Three-piece NF3 double-spoke wheels measuring 20 inches in diameter continue the matte yellow and gray color scheme. Michelin Pilot Cup tires measuring 245/30 ZR 20 front and 315/25 ZR 20 are used to further enhance performance.
To match the color scheme of the Novitec Rosso Edizone 747 exterior an optional two-tone interior is available. A carbon fiber and leather steering wheel featuring a flattened bottom is standard with optional carbon fiber paddle shifters allowing for easier shifting.
The Novitec Rosso Edizione 747 commemorates the end of production for Ferrari’s legendary F430 model series. Production of the Edizione 747 will be limited to the Berlinetta variant of the F430 Scuderia. Pricing for the Edizione 747 has not been released.
