While Ferrari targets the rich crowd with an entirely new toy, christened the 12Cilindri, Novitec isn’t willing to let go of the model’s predecessor, the 812. As a result, they have left their mark on yet another one, and while it may seem just under the OTT line to some, it is tuning done right.
Over the weekend, Carlifestyle took to its social media to release images of this tuned gem. The supercar features many updates and a new shade, and it certainly stands out in a sea of exotic vehicles for all the right reasons.
The first thing that stands out is the new wrap (unless it’s a paint finish, which we doubt). The famous Tiffany Blue was applied to all body panels, and the Prancing Horse logo in the middle of the grille. The lighting units feature a dark look, and the front ones sport add-ons next to them that make them look bigger than they are.
Since Novitec is known for going mild on its projects, the aftermarket add-ons are discreet. These comprise a tweaked front bumper with a few attachments, including the more serious chin spoiler, the aforementioned components next to the headlamps, an extra brake light at the rear, a large wing, and what seem to be new tailpipes.

The center-locking wheels are another interesting highlight of this build. The alloys have a black finish and a V-spoke design and are wrapped in sticky rubber. They also feature a hint of red, just like the brake calipers, whereas the attachments have a black look.
Breathing air from behind the grille and resting under that long hood is a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12. The motor produces 788 hp (800 ps/588 kW) at 8,500 rpm and unleashes 530 pound-foot (718 Nm) of torque at 7,000 rpm every time the driver abuses the loud pedal. The stock Ferrari 812 Superfast tops out at 211 mph (340 kph) and needs just 2.9 seconds to reach 62 mph (100 kph).
However, this is the N-Largo, and besides the added bits and bobs mentioned above, it also has a bit more power. Previous Novitec N-Largo 812s had 828 hp (840 ps/618 kW) to play with and 554 pound-feet (751 Nm) of torque. As a result, it should be one or perhaps two-tenths quicker than a stock 812, with the maximum speed likely rising to 214 mph (345 kph).
Now, we may not be fans of the Tiffany Blue look, but we absolutely love every other aftermarket touch on this Ferrari 812. So, if you were the proud owner of such a model, what color would it have? Would you go for something traditional like red or a darker hue to make it look more sinister? It would probably be the latter for us.
