Click the image above for more high-res pics of the Novitec F430 TuNero.
Amidst the countless tuner displays gracing the Frankfurt Messe, one vehicle caught the attention of our lens and caused the hairs on the back of our necks to stand at attention. The Novitec Ferrari F430 TuNero, swathed in matte black from its body to its brake calipers, is pure evil incarnate, and it's got the motivation to match.
Sporting a duo of race-ready superchargers, air-to-water intercoolers, a revised intake system, individual oil coolers, new fuel injectors and a host of other mods, the TuNero puts out 707 HP at 8,350 RPM and 525 lb.-ft. of torque at 6,300 RPM. 62 comes up in 3.5 seconds and Novitec claims that a top speed of 216 MPH is easily within reach.
We've assembled a number of live and press pics in the gallery below, so go forth and be intimidated.

Don't be taking it racing - you might get had up for copying the Feze's idea's...

Looks nice. Interesting how they modified a 360 modena front bumper for the 430

Jesse James from West Coast Choppers did the same thing 3 years ago with his Ferrari -
get rid of the ghetto stuff and it might look good (just flat black)

So beautiful, this (F430) will be on my car dream list next to Porsche 911 GT2, Skyline GTR R34, and TVR Sagaris.

I'm surprised they didn't do a flame treatment as well... the matte black effect is getting a little long in the tooth. At least spinners and neon lighting are nowhere to be found these days.

Haha. I JUST built this in Forza Motorsport 2, minus the matte paint (which I NEED).
Zero-to-sixty comes in at 3.515s and Top Speed is in 201.3, but with a little tuning a maybe some sort of air flow upgrade will be able to up both.
