This Ferrari is beyond incredible for all of you fans out there. Geneva preview of the Novitec Rosso Ferrari 599 GTB.

Novitec Rosso has struck once again with an even more powerful version of the Ferrari 599 GTB.

Novitec claims a 0-60 mph time of 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 214 mph.

Painted in matte white and black and including all of the Novitec goodies, like a special aero kit, 20 and 21-inch wheels with a massive brake upgrade and a height adjustable suspension, Novitec will build just three 848 Race models.
