We drove a tuned 746 BHP Novitec Ferrari 430 Scuderia on the STREET!

Of all the lightweight V8 Ferraris, picking a favourite is easy for me - the 430 Scuderia. It keeps most of the rawness of the 360 Challenge Stradale while implementing some of the chassis tech that wound up in the 458 Speciale like adaptive suspension and an E-diff. It’s noisy, involving, has the most snappy and visceral single-clutch paddleshift gearbox, and I’d say 503bhp is the perfect amount of power.
But this is 2024, and you can now buy a Mercedes C Class with 670bhp, so in outright numbers, the Scud has been long since left in the dust of the power race. Not this one though, because some crazy person had €60,000 of supercharger fitted, and all of a sudden, we have a Scud with more power than a 488 Pista (746bhp to be exact). But does all that power ruin what makes the Scud so great? I didn’t have to be asked twice to have a go and find out!

This channel is so underrated. Reminds me of old school EVO Magazine. Just pure driving, no gimmicks, no non-sense, just nice and crisp editing with great sound capture that makes you feel like you are there I urge everybody that reads this comment to like and subscribe so that the YT algorithm pushes this channel more.

[@scd]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@MichaelBoyens]

Totally agree, I have been a car enthusiast for over 40 years and just about watched anything worth watching on KZbin, and once I discovered this channel have been binge watching it ever since. They do a great job of putting you in the drivers seat, and the overall quality is at least 10/10!

[@johnmitchell2269]

The best thing with this channel is that they haven't changed. Never change!

[@Evan-McM]

Agreed. That’s exactly the way to describe it.

[@Rascallucci]

Sounds amazing and you are right you can't hear the supercharger whistle, even better!

[@scd]

Exactly!

[@rahulsudhir666]

Fantastic! I didn't know Novitec had the supercharger kit for the F430 range too. I remember seeing a 360M with the Novitec supercharger n addons over a decade ago. The thing was an absolute monster! It made around 565hp or so at the wheels n was finding it difficult to gain traction with the Pirellis of the time. The owner chose not to have any Novitec badges on it apart from what you'd see on the supercharger. He used to regularly outrun 996 Turbos S Porsches with ease n most people had no idea that the car was modded. This was at a time when there were barely 2-3 dozen supercars in the entire country (India) n nobody really modified those cars. If you're a fan of racing you probably would've come across an infamous rally video from India where the navigator screams "Sammy, no Sammy no. You'll break the bloody car". Well, the Sammy in question is the one who had/has that Novitec 360M.

[@rayrodrigo3999]

Bhai I believe the kit has been discontinued

[@conner.9262]

Even though this car has had massive upgrades, it’s presents and design still looks modern to me, i presume that down to timeless design …. Beautiful car !

[@scd]

Agreed 🙌🙌

[@ziggyfreud5357]

Absolutely

[@gregoryfranks7347]

do you know this is the only video where a twin supercharged novitec car has been really reviewed, a couple talked about them but nobody ever whipped on it like a dominatrix as intended. so I personally thank you so much. I've been a fan since the Ruf you did. these novitec twin blown cars are so cool and different. I think novitec should still be focused on the performance and doing things nobody else does. wicked car!!! cheers

[@scd]

Pleasure was all ours! A rare beast indeed 👍

[@sdd1994]

The fact it just sounds like a very aggressive Scud is 😍

[@scd]

It’s honestly the most wild thing

[@JohnAgustinScuderia458595]

No order Ferrari in my opinion that will beat the rawness of this 430 Scuderia an absolutely amazing machine!

[@scd]

It’s really is peak Ferrari 🙌

[@Keiferdrives]

[@lukewaring2832]

Epic just another outstanding video. Escaping from the normal day life the supercar driver way. And I got to watch it on the big screen game alone for amd hour .. bring the noise.. Thanks guys another one nocked pit the park..😎

[@scd]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙌

[@gadjules7334]

Looks lovely, I generally hate modified cars but this remains looking classy and a great number plate too

[@scd]

Agreed! Looks factory doesn’t it

[@miguelmarques4362]

Amazing car . And the supercharge adds the power to be fast as a actual Ferrari .

[@baderattieh8119]

Absolutely perfection!

[@scd]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Mark-iz1uh]

The only thing this video was missing was a tunnel run and the absolute sounding lunacy of gear changes while flooring it within

[@863rafael]

The perfect F430!

[@ziggyfreud5357]

That sounds like and is one super scud. Absolutely gorgeous. Love it. And the sound is transcendental

[@scd]

What a machine 🤯🏁

[@royd72]

Cool car, cool review, nice one Matt 🏁

[@scd]

Thanks Royd 🙌

[@ricsu3462]

As a scud owner,I would be concerned with the gearbox…even on the stock car it’s not uncommon to see the gearbox explode once it hit higher miles. The scud wants to kill me and this extra power just accentuates that personality so kudos to a death wish lol

[@scd]

It’s an occasional use car, roll it out, cling on, put it away and sit in a dark room for a bit 😂

[@mrporsche4236]

Every turbo ferrari should have a supercharger instead. In fact every turbo should be replaced with a supercharger

[@LawrenceTimme]

In some cars like an Impreza or and Evo the turbo lag ads to the character, but I agree in most sports cars the supercharger is more fitting.

[@jstoli996c4s]

Why? Turbo boost is awesome ✌️

[@gabes1004]

super underrated channel, please keep it up !

[@richard-markdodds305]

Sounds fantastic

[@scd]

[@BorisBidjanSaberi11]

Holy shit this is the dream car…. Awesome review dude

[@preeteshpatel3962]

I have a scud . Amazing car . I can’t imagine adding another 200hp. I don’t think the brakes can handle the extra power . Great video and keep them coming ……..

[@scd]

Agree, brakes need upgrading

[@GM-fh5jp]

Totally badass.

[@andreaovolante3325]

Such an amazing car, imho I would have liked to have seen a simple shot of the car accelerating and showing the dashboard and rev counter

[@Sunedosa]

Not entirely true about the Veyron being the only production car available in 2009 with more than 746 hp, Koenigsegg had both the CCX 806 hp and the CCXR 1016 hp for sale in 2009.

[@mangomanthe1st981]

It's perfect with the extra power

[@scd]

It’s WILD

[@Gaaaaaaaaaaad]

What a car

[@scd]

It’s wild!

[@AngryManSki]

Those brakes may not be getting hot enough to be effective. Owner should consider steel for street use.

[@christianfloehr]

Amazing!! Sounds great! Wonder if the gearbox can handle all the extra power?💪🏻 A „standard“ Scud is a fast car already but this has to be mental! 😮😂

[@y2kazan868]

Long live the early and late 2000’s.

[@scd]

Couldn’t agree more 🙌

[@claudekelsey4277]

PROPER!!!

[@racermaniak]

Not one clip of the supercharger shown 😢

[@ALMX5DP]

Yeah they are very well hidden (I say they because I had to look it up and this kit appears to include twin centrifugal superchargers).

[@scd]

We REALLY tried to find it in the engine bay, but it's buried really deeply underneath all of the new pipework. We tried!

[@ajfreshkid]

Any stats on how big the supercharger is or how much boost it provides?

[@yass5020]

That was the first serious car in the 2000 era before McLaren entered the game.

[@cvpuga]

ok, ive got a new dream car...

[@scd]

😂👍

[@amirhashm1]

What a car this must be. The Scud is one of my favourites and a manual just wouldn't be the same as the gearbox is just simply awesome. Wouldn't have it any other way.

[@scd]

Couldn't agree more!

FERRARI TO GETTING GIRLS IN

[@toddthezondalover645]

I wonder if a magnussen tv2650 would fit

[@svtman93]

In 2009 the Corvette ZR1 had 638hp from the factory so not just the Bugatti Veyron.

[@LawrenceTimme]

That's less than this car with 746....

[@boogboog8097]

It had 10k of work for 66k of price 😂

[@LawrenceTimme]

Yes probably most of the cost was development rather than parts. It's not exactly a bolt on kit is it 😂

[@blueman5924]

No way are you going to get an engine out performance build for 10,000 Euros, in Germany !😂

[@chesspiece81]

It would be perfect for a 6 speed manual swap instead of the flappy paddle transmission

[@filip-pi9hy]

no

[@johnmitchell2269]

Not with 746hp it wouldn't.

[@stfu6397]

Another manual transmission coomer

[@RossoFormula]

Definitely not. Seems like you know nothing about the super fast transmission and are just one of those bandwagon "would be better in a 6 speed" commentators.

[@howarddavies136]

I'd agree with you in a normal 430, but with 746bhp? Nope. No thanks.

[@MoAz786]

The plate is worth a lot more than the car I assume

[@grubasKKS]

Wiadomo rzecz gustu, ale dla mnie nawet rozjebane na drzewie jest piękne.

[@MrTimeless101]

Those huge brakes have no power? new pads perhaps.

Not sure what you mean pal 👍

[@clubsport9334]

Centrifugal supercharger yeah!? Obviously not a roots style blower that sits between the V....????

[@MLK_Sold_Black_america_out]

Or screw

[@ALMX5DP]

Yeah I think there’s actually two centrifugal units tucked under each bank somewhere. Super well integrated to look as OEM as possible or just was the best place to package them.
