Ferrari Purosangue V12 is louder than ever

Since Ferrari launched its first SUV, the Purosangue, many tuners have based their projects on this model. One of the latest is Novitec and its equipment kit that takes the Ferrari SUV to the next level.

Novitec has equipped the Purosangue with a new set of sport springs, which lower the car by 25 to 30 mm. The springs are compatible with the factory lift system, and can also be paired with aluminum spacers for a wider track and a more aggressive stance. There is also a set of gold NF11 forged wheels, and NF9 and NF10 wheel sets are also available in any color.

Under the hood is still a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine with 715 hp (526 kW) and 528 lb-ft (716 Nm) of torque, paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox whose performance is 35 percent higher, transmitting up to 1,200 Nm in dynamic torque during gear shifts. Buyers can choose between a racing exhaust system without flap-regulation and a racing exhaust system with flap-regulation, sport metal catalysts and stainless steel tailpipes, which can make the sound of the V12 engine one of the loudest on the planet. This will attract the attention of many, but many will also want to hear it again.

It should also be noted that Novitec has not prepared any body components, at least not yet. They will arrive in a few weeks.

Ferrari Purosangue upgraded by Road Show International

Since Ferrari unveiled its first SUV, the Purosangue, in mid-2022, several tuners have based their projects on the model. Now, one comes from American tuner Road Show International.

The exterior of the car will definitely attract attention but also cause mixed comments. It is painted in a dark burgundy color and features new tinted headlights and taillights, windows and windshield. The suspension has been lowered by 10 mm, and the car has also received a new set of chrome 24-inch multi-spoke Forgiato wheels and yellow brake calipers.

While the exterior can be said to have a passing grade, the interior is the epitome of luxury. Dark brown leather covers the seats, ceiling, center console and door panels, while red trim and metal trim create a contrast. There are also plenty of carbon details and black leather on the dashboard.

There have been no changes under the hood. Ferrari Purosangue is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine with 715 hp (526 kW) and 528 lb-ft (716 Nm) of torque. It reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 192 mph (310 kph). The engine is paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox whose performance is 35 percent higher, transmitting up to 1,200 Nm in dynamic torque during gear shifts.

1984 Sbarro Super Eight is for sale

At the 1984 Geneva Motor Show, the small Swiss high-performance replica and sports car company Sbarro unveiled a special edition car, the Sbarro Super Eight. The car was designed by company founder Franco Sbarro for Bernd Grohe, and is now for sale.

The car is powered by a 3.0-L Ferrari F106 V8 engine with a factory rated 240 hp, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear axle. The engine is equipped with dual overhead camshafts on each cylinder bank, four valves per cylinder, and Bosch fuel injection. It sits on 15″ multipiece BBS wheels wrapped in Yokohama AVS AV1-40 tires.

This unique red Sbarro Super Eight is based on a Ferrari 308 GTB whose frame was shortened before being fitted with a two-door fiberglass body, a nose panel that extends over the headlights, a chin spoiler, an offset cowl vent, flared fenders, straked intake vents ahead of each rear wheel, ghosted horizontal stripes along each B pillar, simulated straked vents behind the rear windows, and a rounded rear profile with a painted heckblende and quad upturned exhaust outlets. Ventilated disc brakes and double-wishbone independent suspension with coilover shock absorbers and anti-roll bars at front and rear, were taken from the Ferrari 308.

The interior is covered in brown leather with cloth inserts over the two-place seating and door panels. In front of the driver is a MOMO three-spoke steering wheel wrapped in brown leather and a five-digit odometer showing 30,011 km (~19k miles). Additional equipment includes color-keyed carpeting, wood door caps and dashboard accents, shoulder belts, a lockable console storage compartment, a gated shifter, power windows, and a Clarion component stereo system with a cassette player and an equalizer.

The auction ends on December 11th and the highest bid at the time of writing was $145,000 USD.
