Novitec produces a body kit, wheels and an engine boost for Maserati MC20

Famous tuning shop Novitec has graced another European sports car with its attention: the sleek Maserati MC20 Cielo Spider.

The accessories offered are partly compatible with the MC20 Coupe as well, but let’s focus on the topless version for the time being. To help minimize the raising force at the front axle, the Novitec-tuned Cielo gets a special carbon-fiber splitter. It also receives a ducktail spoiler and carbon inlets for the front air intakes.

As usual, the company bundles the exterior package with forged wheels co-designed with Vossen. The set seen here is known as the NF11 and features five pairs of spokes that overlap the entire rim up to its outer edge, making the wheels seem a whole size or two larger than they actually are. A 25-mm (1-inch) drop in ride height also helps with the sporty look.

In turn, the V6 under the hood gets a high-flow exhaust system (various finisher tips available) and an ECU remap that raises its output by almost a hundred horsepower and Newton-meters of torque. Novitec has measured the results at 711 PS (701 hp / 523 kW) and 818 Nm (603 lb-ft). Tuned like this, the MC20 Cielo sprints 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 2.8 seconds and doubles that acceleration in 8.4 seconds.

Last but not least, the company offers a complete interior makeover with lots of things to customize.
