If there’s one German tuner we can rely on to enhance, rather than diminish, the supercars it works with, it’s Novitec. The company has now set its sights on the 12Cilindri, and it hasn’t held back in refining Ferrari’s V12-powered grand tourer even further.
The upgrades begin where the wind first meets the car. Novitec fits a new carbon fiber lip spoiler that does more than lend a motorsport edge; it increases downforce across the front wheels for steadier handling at speed. The clamshell-style hood, already dramatic in its sculpted form, now gains two functional air outlets cut neatly into its surface. Just ahead of the windshield sits another addition—a carbon fiber panel that ties the design together while aiding airflow management.
Some subtle, yet welcome, modifications have also been made to the rear of the 12Cilindri, including a carbon fiber lip spoiler and a new diffuser. Crucially, these parts aren’t over-the-top and don’t ruin the supercar’s original design.
Complementing the carbon components is a set of wheels developed in partnership with Vossen: 21-inch wheels at the front and 22-inch wheels at the rear, clad in 275/35 front and 325/30 rear tires. To complete the look, Novitec has dropped the ride height by 30 mm (1.1 inches) using new sport springs. It has also added carbon fiber wing mirror covers.
However, it’s not these parts that transform the 12Cilindri’s look the most. By painting the black strip between the headlights in body color, Novitec eliminates one of the car’s few awkward design details. The effect is truly transformative, giving the front end a seamless, more cohesive appearance—something Ferrari itself might have considered.
Then there’s perhaps the highlight of Novitec’s upgrades: a high-performance exhaust system. This exhaust can be manufactured from lightweight Inconel if the customer wishes, and it even features 99 fine gold plating, adding both performance and an exclusive touch of luxury.
With these thoughtful enhancements, Novitec has taken the Ferrari 12Cilindri to a new level—improving performance, handling, and aesthetics without compromising the original supercar’s character.
