Rosso Race 606 by Novitec

We've seen our fair share of tuning packages for the Ferrari California, but we may have a new contender for the best of the bunch.

Dubbed the Race 606, the car features a front lip spoiler, a ventilated hood, an aggressive rear diffuser, and plenty of carbon fiber accents. Other goodies include a lowered sport suspension (which reduces the ride height by 35mm), a hydraulic front lift system, and three-piece NF3 wheels with Pirelli PZero tires.

Under the hood, the 4.3-liter V8 has been outfitted with a supercharger, an intercooler, a new intake manifold, larger fuel injectors, a revised ECU, and a high-performance exhaust system. Thanks to these tweaks, the engine produces 606 PS (446 kW / 598 hp) and 603 Nm (445 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 146 PS (107 kW / 144 hp) and 118 Nm (87 lb-ft). This enables the roadster to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph).

No word on pricing, but the Novitec Rosso Race 606 will be officially unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show.

Hamann Ferrari California Tuning Programme

HAMANN Motorsport has developed a full tuning programme for the new Ferrari California. Promising to make Ferrari fans' hearts beat faster, HAMANN made changes to the entire car.

The 4.3-litre normally aspirated V8 has a standard power rating of 338kW (460hp). That will be increased by 20% to 406kW (552hp). To achieve that figure engineers are working on, among others, the engine management system as well as a sports exhaust.

It doesn't stop there. The exterior has a new aerodynamic kit that includes a lift-reducing front spoiler, a carbon fibre bonnet, side skirts that calm the air between the axles, a rear spoiler that increases contact pressure and a 3-part rear diffuser. Maximum grip is thus attained.

Still on maximum grip the car comes running on 245/30ZR21 tyres with 9.0Jx21 rims up front and 345/25ZR21 rubber on 12.5Jx21 at the rear. The wheels are black varnished multi-piece HAMANN aluminium with titanium bolting and are quite light to help reduce unsprung weight.

A full customisation application is available for the interior and ranges from a complete leather interior to personalised floor mats.
