Swathed in gleaming carbon fibre, the F430s V8 has been significantly reworked; the two superchargers have their own lubrication system and intercoolers, reinforced drive belts, new injectors, an oil cooler and a reprogrammed ECU. The result of which is a mighty 656bhp and 470lb/ft of torque just four horsepower and 14lb/ft shy of the Ferrari Enzo. Performance is also within a whisker of Ferraris flagship, 0-62mph takes 3.7 seconds versus 3.6 and a top speed of 217mph against 225mph, largely academic unless you happen to be on an Autobahn near Novitec Rossos home town of Memmingen in Bavaria.
