Exclusive NOVITEC TORADO refinement for the Lamborghini Huracan‏

Sophisticated modifications further sharpen the profile of the Huracan’s front: the production bumper is upgraded with a front spoiler, central blade and side flaps from NOVITEC TORADO. In addition, the company developed a special trunk lid with integrated air duct. Wind tunnel tests have demonstrated that the new aerodynamic-enhancement components reduce lift on the front axle, thereby further improving handling stability at high speeds.

NOVITEC TORADO rocker panels, carbon-fiber mirror covers and new side air intakes on the rear windows that also optimize the air supply to the engine bay elevate the side view of the ten-cylinder rocket to a new exhilarating level.

Of course, the rear end of the Huracan also undergoes extensive revisions: the combination of NOVITEC TORADO rear airfoil and diffuser gives it a racing look and generates maximum downforce on the rear axle. Owners of the two-seat sports car who prefer a more subtle look can opt for a NOVITEC TORADO rear spoiler lip instead. The carbon-fiber rear surround for the taillights fits both variants.

An optimal symbiosis of good looks and efficiency is also available for the hood: two hood scoops shuffle more air to the engine and create an even more exciting appearance.

A tailor-made carbon-fiber cover creates an out-and-out racing atmosphere in the engine bay as well.Of course, the NOVITEC TORADO styling for the Lamborghini also comprises tailor-made high-tech wheel

s: the three-piece NL1 alloys feature five delicate double spokes and are manufactured using state-of-the-art forging technology.

Their staggered combination with diameters of 20 and 21 inches emphasizes the wedge shape of the Italian sports car. Pirelli P-Zero high-performance tires of size 245/30 ZR 20 on 9Jx20 rims at the front and size 325/25 ZR 21 tires on 12.5Jx21 rims at the rear make optimal use of the available space under the wheel arches. The wheel variant with carbon-coated outer flanges brings out the motor racing flair of the conversion.

The NOVITEC TORADO sports springs, which lower the ride height of the two-seat sports car by about 35 millimeters, are calibrated specifically to this tire/wheel combination. Huracan drivers preferring even sportier damper settings can opt for a height-adjustable coilover suspension that is currently under development.

Of course, there is also virtuoso acoustic tuning for the V10 engine of the Huracan in the form of the NOVITEC TORADO sports exhaust systems, available with or without active sound management by means of a controlled butterfly valve – optionally even at the push of a button in the cockpit. The high-performance exhaust systems are made from stainless steel or from the even lighter INCONEL, a material used in Formula 1 racing.

Consequently, the NOVITEC TORADO high-performance exhaust systems not only deliver an optimized power delivery, but also offer weight savings over the production system. In addition, the company also offers lighter and more efficient sports catalysts.

It goes without saying that NOVITEC TORADO also fulfills individual customer requests when it comes to designing the interior. Every inch of the finest leather and Alcantara in any desired color is finished with meticulous precision.

Ferrari California T by Novitec Rosso

NOVITEC ROSSO tuning for the new Ferrari California T An extra 63.3 kW / 86 hp, 323 km/h and sporty accessories. Engine tuning to deliver an additional 63.3 kW / 86 hp that give the two-seat car a top speed of 323 km/h, and a wide range of sporty options for the bodywork, suspension and interior: NOVITEC ROSSO, the leading global refinement specialist for the sports cars from Maranello, now also offers tuning for the new Ferrari California T. The new 3.8-liter eight-cylinder twin-turbo engine provides the perfect starting point for powerful tuning.

The NOVITEC ROSSO engine technicians developed a new performance kit for the California T that unleashes the hidden reserves of this engine without compromising its durability. Extensive series of tests were conducted to develop special mapping for the two NOVITEC ROSSO N-TRONIC plug-and-play modules, which are adapted to the electronic engine management system of the vehicle. As a result, the tuned V8 develops an impressive 475 kW / 646 hp at a low 7,400 rpm and produces its peak torque of 856 Nm at a low 4,600 rpm - 101 Nm more than the stock engine!

Performance on the road benefits accordingly: the tuned two-seater sprints to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds. Top speed jumps to 323 km/h. On the road, the NOVITEC ROSSO power upgrade not only delivers better performance, but also even more instantaneous throttle response and even more in-gear pulling power. As the perfect complement to the engine tuning, NOVITEC ROSSO sells various versions of precisely calibrated stainless-steel high-performance exhaust systems for the new Ferrari California T. The version offering sound management by means of actively controlled butterfly valve is available with the NOVITEC ROSSO SWITCHTRONIC feature, which allows regulating the sound between subtly quiet and powerfully sporty by radio remote from inside the cockpit. In addition to more power, NOVITEC ROSSO of course also offers refinement options for the bodywork, suspension and cockpit.



The appearance of the two-seater is upgraded with a sporty-elegant aerodynamic-enhancement kit, which is optionally available with a clear-coated carbon-fiber finish. The shape of the NOVITEC ROSSO front spoiler was optimized in the wind tunnel and lends the front-engine sports car an even more dynamic profile. What's more: its sophisticated design also reduces lift on the front axle, which in turn optimizes directional stability at high speeds.



Tailor-made inserts for the two air intakes in the hood also lend the California T a further sharpened profile, as do the gill-shaped covers for the side air outlets in the front fenders and the clear-coated carbon-fiber covers for the two exterior mirrors. In addition, there is also a carbon-fiber radiator grille. The sides of the sports car receive some added dynamic lines with the NOVITEC ROSSO rocker panels and side flaps. These aerodynamic-enhancement components also improve the airflow between the front and rear wheel arches. NOVITEC ROSSO offers a clear-coated carbon-fiber roof skin for the folding hardtop of the California T.

NOVITEC ROSSO offers full-blooded motor racing looks with the rear diffuser and the clear-coated carbon-fiber diffuser fins as well. The NOVITEC ROSSO rear spoiler lip upgrades the rear appearance and minimizes lift on the rear axle. A carbon-fiber rear trim panel as well as clear-coated carbon-fiber covers for the tail lamps round out the sporty looks for the Ferrari California T. The NOVITEC ROSSO staggered alloys with diameters of 21 inches at the front and 22 inches at the rear look stunning and enhance the driving dynamics even further. In sizes 9Jx21 at the front and 12Jx22 on the rear axle, the one-piece and especially lightweight NF4 high-tech forged wheels with five double spokes put even more emphasis on the wedge shape of the sports car. Technology partner Pirelli supplies high-performance tires specifically tailored to this vehicle. They are mounted on the front axle in size 255/30 ZR 21. Tires of size 315/25 ZR 22 at the rear provide optimal grip.

The NOVITEC ROSSO sports springs, which lower the ride height of the Ferrari by about 35 millimeters, were designed specifically for this tire/wheel combination. In addition, the suspension specialists developed a feature that makes the California T even better suited for everyday use. The hydraulic front lift system makes it possible to raise the front end by 40 millimeters from inside the cockpit. As a result, entrance ramps of underground parking garages or speed humps are easier to navigate. By slightly pressing the button, or automatically upon reaching a speed of 80 km/h, the front end reverts to its original position. The personal requests of every owner of a Ferrari California T with regard to the interior can also be made reality. Exclusive NOVITEC ROSSO interior appointments crafted from the finest leather and Alcantara captivate with their perfect craftsmanship and the multitude of available upholstery colors and patterns.


This Novitec Rosso tuning package for the California T is now available at ZR Auto!

The Ultimate BMW M5 by G-Power!

The ultimate BMW M5 is coming soon! Our partners at G-Power specialize in everything BMW, and their new 740 hp kit for the F10 M5 is their latest masterpiece!

With a power output of 740 hp, the G-POWER M5 with its 4.4 V8 bi-turbo engine is on the same performance level as the very first versions of the legendary G-POWER M5/M6 Hurricane with supercharged V10 engines.

With a torque peak of 975 Nm, it is even clearly ahead of the game! At the same time the track to the power summit is not as hard as it used to be, thanks to the bi-turbo layout of the current BMW M5 V8 engines. G-POWER is approaching from two sides in order to increase the power output from the standard 560 hp/(412 kW) and 680 Nm to 740 hp/(544 kW) and 975 Nm.

First the electronic engine management is optimized than the back pressure of the exhaust system is reduced significantly. The Bi-Tronik 5 V4 performance package thus consists of an external performance module based on a microprocessor and a lightweight exhaust system made from titanium, featuring racing catalysts.

Optionally the G-POWER Bi-Tronik 5 V4 can be topped off by the G-POWER V-MAX increase for the BMW M5. Then the G-POWER software for the M5’s ECU increases the limit of the top speed to a new speed value of 350 km/h.

Naturally the performance figures benefit from the G-POWER modifications as well. The figure from stand still to 200 km/h is now just 10.5 seconds and the top speed is well above 300 km/h.

The G-POWER modifications to the BMW M5’s engine are completed with the engine cover made from visual Carbon fibre that highlights the otherwise standard engine compartment. The G-POWER badge mounted in its middle gives a subtle hint to the power output enhancement.

Of course that might be superfluous once the mighty V8 engine is fired up. Hearing the sonorous sound of the V8 emitting through the 4x100 tail pipes made from Titanium or Carbon fibre at your choice should be hint enough that this BMW M5 has coem out of ZR Auto.


The powerful appearance of the G-POWER M5 is supported by the 21 inch G-POWER Hurricane RR forged wheels, wrapped with tires from the G-POWER’s technology partner Michelin in the dimensions: 255/30 ZR 21 and 295/25 ZR 21.

Combined with the use of ultra-lightweight aerospace aluminium for its production, the G-POWER Hurricane RR is not just a visually, but also technically, a piece of art.

Interested in outfitting your BMW M5 with the G-Power Hurricane RR kit? Get in touch with us and we'll make it happen!

New Maserati Ghibli Tuning Program by Novitec Tirdente

NOVITEC TRIDENTE, the world's leading refinement specialist for Maserati vehicles, now also enhances the Maserati Ghibli with a new N-TRONIC engine tuning program, available in different levels for the various gasoline and diesel engines of the Italian sedan.

The new tuning program delivers a power output of up to 350 kW / 476 hp in the most powerful version. Tailor-made 22-inch alloy wheels in various versions and sporty-elegant body components made of clear-coated carbon fiber give the Ghibli an even more extravagant appearance.

Suspension solutions specifically calibrated to the king-sized wheels lend the four-door car even more agile handling. Exclusive interior options round out the product lineup.

The know-how amassed by the NOVITEC engine specialists over decades provides the perfect foundation for creating the performance kits for the Ghibli. The development of the plug-and-play performance kits, which realize the increase in power through modified mapping for the electronic engine management system, not only focused on maximum power: the development goal also included a powerful torque curve, refined running, exemplary emissions and maximum durability.

Since the diesel models account for a steadily growing share of Ghibli sales, NOVITEC TRIDENTE also offers engine tuning for the three-liter, six-cylinder common-rail diesel engine. N-TRONIC tuning produces an extra 35kW / 47 hp of power and boosts peak torque by 80 Nm. With a new rated power output of 237 kW / 322 hp at a low 3,800 rpm and 680 Nm of torque at a low 2,200 rpm.

The refined Ghibli delivers even better performance in concert with the eight-speed automatic transmission: with a sprint time of 5.6 seconds from 0 - 100 km/h, the NOVITEC TRIDENTE version bests the production car by seven tenths of a second. The tremendous increase in torque gives the luxury sedan even more effortless performance and keeps fuel consumption low.



It goes without saying that NOVITEC TRIDENTE engine tuning is also available for the rear-wheel and all-wheel-drive Ghibli models powered by the V6 twin-turbo gasoline engine. It also uses an N-TRONIC auxiliary control unit with recalibrated mapping for injection and ignition plus a moderate increase in boost pressure. In the most powerful model, the Ghibli S with rear-wheel drive or the Ghibli S Q4 with all- wheel drive, both with a standard power output of 301 kW / 410hp, the NOVITEC TRIDENTE development delivers an extra 49 kW / 66 hp. Simultaneously peak torque grows by 90 Nm.

With a new power output of 350kW / 476 hp and 640 Nm of torque, constantly available between 1,700 and 4,900 rpm, the all-wheel drive S Q4 model sprints from rest to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds. Top speed increases from 284 km/h for the production car to 294 km/h.

Wheels make or break a car and the Maserati Ghibli is no exception. The new NOVITEC TRIDENTE NM1 king-sized 22-inch alloys lend the Ghibli some further added profile. The one piece wheels in an extravagant design featuring five double spokes are available as a complete set.

Customers can choose from wheels with a silver, matte black, titanium or polished titanium finish. The front axle is fitted with wheels that are nine inches wide and shod with Pirelli P Zero high-performance tires of size 255/30 ZR 22. At the rear, tires of size 315/25 ZR 22 on wheels eleven inches wide make full use of the available space in the fenders.

The NOVITEC TRIDENTE suspension solutions are specifically tailored to these high-performance tires. The height-adjustable stainless-steel coilover suspension is available for all Ghibli models with rear-wheel drive. It offers an infinitely variable ride height and shock absorbers whose rebound and compression can be adjusted to the driver's individual preferences.

The ride height of the all-wheel-drive S Q4 model can be lowered by about 35 millimeters with NOVITEC TRIDENTE sports springs. To add even more sporty character to the appearance of the Maserati Ghibli and to further optimize its aerodynamic properties, the NOVITEC designers developed clear-coated carbon-fiber aerodynamic-enhancement components with a sporty and elegant design.

The NOVITEC TRIDENTE front spoiler was sculpted for the production front bumper and lends the four-seater an even more distinctive face. What's more: at high speeds it also further reduces negative lift on the front axle. The carbon-fiber rocker panels give the sedan an even longer and sleeker look. The rear spoiler emphasizes the contours of the trunk section and likewise minimizes negative aerodynamic lift.

The complete NOVITEC TRIDENTE clear-coated carbon-fiber aerodynamic-enhancement kit is available at ZR Auto. For further information, please contact us and we'll be happy to answer any questions.
