The Ferrari Purosangue, already a revolutionary model as Maranello’s first four-door, four-seater “Ferrari Utility Vehicle,” has just received a dramatic makeover from German tuning powerhouse Novitec.
Their new Esteso Widebody Kit pushes the boundaries of aggressive styling and performance, turning the luxury SUV into a street-legal supercar slayer. With widened fenders, aerodynamic enhancements, and power upgrades, Novitec’s take on the Purosangue is the ultimate expression of what happens when Italian flair meets German engineering precision.
A Bold Transformation: The Esteso Widebody Design
Novitec’s Esteso kit doesn’t just tweak the Purosangue—it reinvents it. The most striking change comes from the flared wheel arches, which extend the body by 40mm on each side, giving the SUV an imposing, track-ready stance. The front bumper gains larger air intakes for improved cooling, while the rear features a redesigned diffuser and an optional carbon-fiber spoiler for enhanced downforce. Every vent, crease, and contour has been optimized not just for aesthetics but for aerodynamic efficiency.
The kit also includes custom 24-inch Novitec NF10 wheels, available in staggered widths to fill out the widened wheel wells perfectly. Lowering the suspension by 25mm via Novitec’s sport springs completes the ultra-aggressive look, ensuring the Purosangue sits just as menacingly as it performs.
Power Upgrades: Unleashing the V12’s Full Potential
While Ferrari’s 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 is already a masterpiece, Novitec’s engineers couldn’t resist extracting even more fury from it. The standard Purosangue produces 715 horsepower and 528 lb-ft of torque, but with Novitec’s performance exhaust system and ECU recalibration, those numbers climb to 760 hp and 565 lb-ft—an increase that shaves precious tenths off its already blistering acceleration.
The exhaust system, available in stainless steel or optional Inconel, not only boosts power but also amplifies the V12’s signature scream. Novitec offers multiple tailpipe configurations, including a center-exit setup that channels the engine’s roar into a spine-tingling crescendo.
Interior Refinements: Bespoke Luxury Meets Track-Focused Aggression
Novitec hasn’t overlooked the cabin, offering a range of custom upholstery options to match the Esteso kit’s exterior audacity. Buyers can opt for premium leather, Alcantara, or even carbon-fiber trim accents, with stitching and embroidery tailored to personal tastes.
The seats remain as plush as Ferrari intended, but now with the option for deeper bolsters to keep occupants planted during high-speed cornering.
A sport steering wheel with thicker grips and shift paddles enhances driver engagement, while optional carbon-fiber door sills and pedals remind occupants they’re in a machine that’s been taken to the next level.
Why This Matters: The Purosangue as a Tuner’s Canvas
Ferrari purists might balk at the idea of modifying a Prancing Horse, but Novitec’s Esteso kit proves that even Maranello’s most controversial model can be transformed into something extraordinary. The Purosangue was already a technical marvel—blending supercar performance with SUV practicality—but Novitec’s upgrades elevate it into a league of its own.
This isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about pushing engineering boundaries. The widened track improves stability, the aerodynamic tweaks enhance high-speed composure, and the power upgrades ensure the Purosangue can hold its own against hypercars. In a world where SUVs dominate but enthusiasts crave excitement, Novitec’s take on the Purosangue is a revelation.
The Future of Ferrari Tuning: Where Does This Lead?
Novitec’s Esteso kit sets a new benchmark for Ferrari aftermarket modifications. As the brand expands into new segments like the Purosangue, tuners are following suit, proving that even Ferrari’s most unconventional models can be turned into extreme performance machines.
Could this pave the way for even wilder Purosangue variants? Possibly. With Novitec leading the charge, the aftermarket scene for Ferrari’s SUV is just getting started. For buyers who want exclusivity beyond what Ferrari offers, Novitec’s Esteso kit delivers—a widebody, high-performance masterpiece that’s as thrilling to drive as it is to behold.
Final Thoughts: The Ultimate Expression of a Ferrari SUV
The Novitec Esteso Widebody Kit doesn’t just modify the Ferrari Purosangue—it redefines it. By blending German engineering with Italian passion, Novitec has created a version of Ferrari’s SUV that’s louder, wider, and more powerful than anything Maranello envisioned. For those who believe a Ferrari should always be extreme, this is the Purosangue they’ve been waiting for.
Would you drive a widebody Purosangue, or is this a step too far for Ferrari’s first SUV? Let the debate begin.
