Novitec’s sister Spofec hasn’t just painted the Dawn an unusual color orencrusted the dashboard with jewels. Instead it has made actual mechanical modifications which start under the hood.
Where the Dawn comes stock with 563 horsepower and 575 lb-ft of torque, Spofec has increased the output from the 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 to 686 hp and 723 lb-ft. That’s more than enough by both counts to out-muscle the Bentley Continental GTC Speed and the Mercedes-AMG S65 Cabrio (though falling just under the latter’s torque) – both of which also pack highly potent, twin-turbo, twelve-cylinder engines displacing in excess of six liters.
