This is the Novitec Esteso: a widebody Ferrari Purosangue with shiny new shoes and an even shoutier exhaust. Although on first impressions, it’s actually quite tame by Novitec’s standards (see the bonkers 296 N-Largo for proof).
The Esteso’s chunkier hips add 6cm of width, and the lowering springs drop the ride height by 25mm. The more aggressive stance is furthered by the new aero kit, which features a mountain of sharper splitters all around and a caved hood.

Elsewhere, you’ll spot 23-inch Y-spoked Vossen alloy wheels with a hint of negative camber, and a wider-than-usual track, supposedly to improve handling. Smaller changes also include carbon-fiber surrounds for the mirror caps, front wheel-arch air vents, and an F1-style rear light to ward off your local Golf R drivers.
There’s a tweaked exhaust, too, which can be had in either stainless steel or gold-plated Inconel—with or without sound management, depending on your relationship with the neighbors. With a new carbon air filter for good measure, the new system ups the 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12’s output to 745hp (around 30hp more than standard), though there’s no confirmation whether the 3.3sec sprint to 100kph and the 310kph Vmax are affected.
Reckon the Bavarian tuner is getting all grown up with its upgrade packages?
