A SF90 tweaked for the racetrack, the Ferrari SF90 XX is proof that the prancing horse brand goes the extra mile to get the edge on its competitors – and this is the first model tuned by Novitec.
The road-legal race car boasts a bespoke set of NF11 forged wheels for the SF90 XX, with newly engineered springs and a completely redesigned exhaust system.
Each meticulously designed component was put there to enhance performance and push the boundaries of the XX closer to perfection.
The result: an even more visceral driving experience.

Novitec tuned Ferrari SF90 XX
The world’s first Ferrari SF90 XX tuned by Novitec saw the German tuner, which specializes in modifications for Italian luxury supercars, attempt to upgrade an already perfect machine as part of the XX Programme.
This constant pushing of boundaries was never intended for the road – until now.
“Introducing the Ferrari SF90 XX: a road-legal race car crafted for those who demand the extreme,” Novitec said.
Novitec developed a bespoke set of NF11 forged wheels for the SF90 XX, along with newly engineered springs and a completely redesigned exhaust system.
“Each component [was] meticulously designed to enhance performance and deliver an even more visceral driving experience,” the spiel continued.
Power upgrade
The result of the above tweaks is not to be sniffed at, with the engine output on the Ferrari SF90 XX increased from 986HP to a whopping via Novitec’s expert tuning.
Still powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 and three electric motors, the stunning supercar saw a performance boost from 0–62mph (0-100km/h) in a mere 2.3 seconds.
To top that, it has a top speed of 199mph (320km/h).
This is paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission with revised software for quicker shifts.
Its suspension was lowered 20mm with sport springs for improved handling and aesthetics, with wheels fitted with NF11 centre-lock wheels by Vossen – 21″ front and 22″ rear, and a Novitec muffler for enhanced sound.
There have been minimal visual changes, as the stunning factory Ferrari design has been maintained with only subtle performance hints to avoid compromising the brand’s core identity.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
