The modified supercar market is huge these days. It"s with inevitability that Ferrari, Porsche and McLaren"s latest wares (not to mention a whole heap of other marques) will have power, torque and carbon thrown unsympathetically at them mere months after they"ve been signed off by their own engineering team. We"ve become immune to the whole thing. But then occasionally there"s a supercar so sublime, upon hearing it"s had some aftermarket tuning we fear for it. It"s already perfect (or thereabouts) and making it louder, faster and shinier just seems wrong. News of Novitec getting its hands on a Ferrari 488 Pista sent us running to our bunkers to hide from the world, then. We needn"t have worried. It looks good. Doesn"t it? This is as classy as supercar modification gets. There"s a bit more exposed carbon on the outside (though Ferrari"s own options list can bring the Pista to similar levels), darkened rear lights and some stockier wheels. They"re 21in up front, 22in at the rear and work alongside a 35mm ride drop to give the 488 track-special a more assertive stance.
