Novitec touches up the Ferrari 296 GTS

German tuner Novitec unveiled its tuning plan for the part-electric Ferrari 296 GTB coupe last year, and is now following up with a similar tuning for the Spider version of it. The exterior, the powertrain and the suspension all get their share of improvements.

Starting from the outside, the 296 GTS seen here is wearing an elegant carbon-fiber body kit that accentuates the original design of the Maranello supercar without disrupting it. Included are a front spoiler, side skirts, side mirror caps, air intake trims, a ducktail spoiler and a diffuser. Novitec NF10 forged wheels sized 21” large at the front and 22” at the back complement the rest of the car nicely, partly thanks to a 35mm (1.4-inch) drop in suspension height.

The performance tune is what you’d expect from a hybrid supercar. The electric motor stays untouched while the 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 gets massaged for an additional 38 PS (37 hp / 28 kW). The combined output goes up to 868 PS (856 hp / 638 kW). Owners are invited to consider a high-flow exhaust system with their tuning, which can be optioned with gold-coated or carbon-wrapped tailpipes. There is even an Inconel alloy exhaust on the list for those seeking to maximize heat insulation.

A full interior makeover rounds off the list with a variety of trimming materials and colors to choose from.
