Hear Ferrari, think Novitec.

In the world of motoring, there will always be limitations, regulations and laws to dull the experience. Car manufacturers have to abide by these or their car isn't allowed to be sold in a country where the laws are enforced.

Luckily, tuning companies have much more lenience from the law makers.

For example:
A Mercedes E 500, a fast car with a large 5.5L V8. Great, but you can't hear it and its not that fast. This is where a tuning company comes in and turns the large cow in to a raging bull. Mercedes has gone a step further and made a tuning company, AMG, an in-house division of the brand.

Many will argue that a Ferrari needs no such tuning, but the company is subject to the same laws as the aforementioned Mercedes.

The solution to this problem is Novitec Rosso. Ferrari's tuning partner, though not an in-house tuner. I agree with most enthusiasts that the cosmetic changes verge on Mansory vulgarity, but one cannot argue that the sound from a Novitec tuned Ferrari is of epic proportions.

Here's a great clip of what I mean.

And, of course, a few wallpapers. Click for the large version.
