    About six months ago, Fabspeed Motorsport embarked upon one of the biggest builds that we have taken on to-date: to build the first and only Novitec N-Largo widebody California T in North America.

    The car arrived to us as a fully stock California T in sparkling Rosso California. The first stage was to install the Fabspeed Valvetronic Exhaust System and tune the ECU to unleash the full power potential of the twin turbo V8. We raised the peak horsepower from 499whp to 560whp, with consistent gains of over 125whp in the mid range!

    With the California now packing a serious punch, it was time to begin the Novitec N-Largo body work. After meeting with a number of local body shops, we partnered with SG Paint Worx in Lansdale, PA to tackle the project. Shaun and his team did an absolutely phenomenal job, putting in a staggering amount of hours getting each and every panel lined up perfectly before hand-molding everything into the body and spraying it all with a fresh coat of Rosso California. When all the work was complete, the paint looked even better than it had when it rolled off the ship from Italy.

    When SG Paint Worx was completed with the car, we finished up by installing a full clear protective bra over the entire body.

    The end result was nothing short of jaw-dropping. Now a full 11 inches wider than a standard California T, this N-Largo has a presence that is simply unmatched. Even seasoned Ferrari enthusiasts have asked us if it was a special edition F12!

    Without further ado... it's my pleasure to introduce the only Novitec N-Largo California T in North America, built by Fabspeed Motorsport and SG Paint Worx!

    What it should have been from the factory. Tasteful and that color is gorgeous.

    Couldn't agree more - should have came like this from the factory!

    Thank you, so are we :)

    Thanks Chris!

    Wow. That really does look great. I love the aggressive look, without being over the top. And the color is perfect for that look. Well done, Gents!

    Cool project.

    If I may ask what are the panels made out of? Are they fiberglass bonded to the factory metal?

    I am not usually a fan of these N Largo cars but this looks good, I prefer the standard wheels and no rear spoiler but apart from that looks really good!

    Thanks Paul! As my body shop said, "It looks like we did nothing to the car, and that's a good thing." The car should have came like this from the factory.

    Here you go Michael. The clip below showcases our valved Maxflo muffler system for the California T. We also have a "race" version in the works for the owners that like their cars more aggressive. Any feedback would be appreciated! :)

    Thanks Anthony! The panels are made out of a blend of carbon fiber and fiberglass, and are bonded to the factory metal. This isn't the easiest task as you may know, but our body shop went above and beyond with bracing everything so we can make sure the paint and work stands the test of time (and speed :))

    The finished product looks great; very aggressive. I imagine the California would've been received more warmly had it looked like this from the factory. Is the owner of this car in New York?

    That bodywork has actually made the Cali . . . dare I say it . . . . attractive (I wasn't much of a fan originally). As others have noted - Should have been the factory form.
    Like 360CS, I'd like to see it without the rear spoiler.

    Thank you! It is a Florida car.

    It certainly transforms it! I've attached a real quick edit with the wing removed.

    Very, very nice. I would have considered a Cali over the 430 if it is was setup like this. Too soft for me otherwise. I would love to see the fit and finish in person. Also, regarding cost for the body work, I assume it is in the $30K range? Is this about right?

    Car stays in New Jersey a bit - if you're ever up our way I will gladly show her to ya! Yes, a $30k ball park is good to assume.

    After showing the Novitec N-Largo wide body Ferrari California T build at First Class Fitment, we made a journey deeper into NJ to personally deliver my clients car. I personally set up and oversaw the entire build with huge help from SG Paintworx who I can't thank enough for amazing job they did on all the bodywork/paint.
