Novitec Rosso Ferrari 458 Speciale is one of the hottest cars released very recently by the Italian tuner. So seeing one out in the wild is interesting, to say the least. Here we see the Novitec Speciale at what appears to be a car meet, wedged between an F-Type Jag and a classic MINI.

Even though the styling modifications on Novitec Rosso Ferrari 458 Speciale are profound, one needs to be a hard-core car guy to notice the differences at first glance. It features subtle aerodynamic changes and new wheels, and a couple other touches here and there such as smoked lights.

Look deeper and you notice this Speciale has an exclusive front spoiler flanked by a canard thingy in the grille, carbon fender inserts, side skirts, carbon mirrors, revised diffuser and a fixed rear wing. A set of black Novitec wheels complement the body kit nicely.

Bigger changes have happened under the bonnet where the standard 4.5 liter V8 engine is fitted with an INCONEL lightweight exhaust system that boosts the output from 605 to nearly 640 horsepower and increases the top speed to 330 km/h. Yep, it’s a pretty magnificent thing, this car.
