Novitec TuLesto

Created by Novitec, the German car manufacturer that has become famous for its Ferrari-based extreme sportscars, the TuLesto is its first in-house developed project.

The mid-engine car features a V8 unit with dual superchargers and a rated power output of 777 hp / 571.8 kW and an aluminum/carbon fiber construction that allows to achieve a total weight of 1,260 kg, for a power-to-weight ratio of just 1.62 kg/hp.

The sprint from�0 to 100 km/h takes less than 3.4 seconds, and the 0-300 km/h time is 22.6 seconds.�Top speed�is more than350 km/h.

The design was pinned by Italian�Luca Serafini, the creator of the�Lamborghini Embolado�and the�Ferrari Concept 2008�- both exclusively presented by Car Body Design.

The TuLesto will be produced in a�limited series of eleven units.

Additional information will be available on�www.tulesto.com. Luca Serafini's portfolio is available at�sefsdesign.deviantart.com.

Technical Features

The high-tech engine produces a maximum power output of 777 hp / 571.8 kW at 8,200 rpm and a peak torque of 727 Nm at 6,300 rpm. Motorsports was also the inspiration for the power transfer:

The six gears of the semi-automatic gearbox with integrated anti-slip differential are shifted with carbon fiber paddles behind the steering wheel.

An adjustable traction control system with launch control for perfect starts guarantees maximum driving safety on the road and on the track.

As in GT-series racing, the TuLesto features double-wishbone suspension front and rear, height-adjustable struts with various selectable damping rates, and adjustable sway bars.

For easy negotiating of underground parking ramps or similar obstacles the TuLesto front�can be raised four centimeters�at the push of a button. The anti-lock braking system featuresceramic composite discs�and six-piston fixed calipers front and back.

The ultra-light light-alloy wheels with diameters of 20 or 21 inches were custom-developed for this coupe and are fitted with semi slicks up to 355 millimeters wide on the rear axle.
