Blue Label Auto – Black Ferrari FF
The Brief
A Sinister Grand Tourer. Engineered for Performance.
HG Performance partnered with Blue Label Auto to transform a Ferrari FF into a refined yet performance-focused grand tourer. The goal was to preserve what makes the FF special—a front-engine V12, rear-wheel-drive Ferrari built for high-speed touring and long-distance driving—while adding a more aggressive character and a hidden performance edge.
Finished in black with a deep red leather interior, the Ferrari already had an unmistakable presence. HG Performance took it further with a carefully selected combination of Novitec performance and aero upgrades, DPE wheels, and Pirelli tires.
The result was designed to remain classy and comfortable enough for daily driving and long trips, while delivering the sound, stance, and performance expected from a properly modified Ferrari V12.
What We Did
HG Performance installed a Novitec Group Stage 1 Performance Package, centered around a custom exhaust system and ECU calibration.
The custom exhaust system was developed from the front of the vehicle and incorporates a precisely crafted X-pipe through the center section. At the rear, the system removes the restrictions of the factory setup, allowing the Ferrari’s naturally aspirated V12 to produce a much more aggressive and unmistakable exhaust note.
To complement the hardware modifications, the Novitec Stage 1 package includes ECU calibration, allowing the engine management to take advantage of the upgraded exhaust system and deliver a sharper overall performance character.
The suspension was upgraded with Novitec lowering springs, giving the FF a lower, more purposeful stance while retaining the elegant proportions expected of a Ferrari grand tourer.
The factory wheels were replaced with DPE wheels, measuring 21 inches at the front and 22 inches at the rear. Finished in satin black, the wheels reinforce the car’s dark, understated appearance while being paired with Pirelli P Zero Nero tires.
To complete the exterior transformation, HG Performance installed a selection of Novitec carbon fiber aerodynamic components, including carbon fiber tail light housings, side skirts, rear diffuser, and lip spoiler.
Once the mechanical and exterior work was complete, the Ferrari was sent to CE Detail for a complete paint correction and polish, bringing the black finish to the level expected from the finished build.

The Result
The completed Ferrari FF became a more aggressive interpretation of the traditional Ferrari grand tourer, combining long-distance usability with a much stronger performance presence.
The lowered stance, staggered DPE wheels, satin black finish, and Novitec carbon fiber components give the car a dark and sinister appearance, while the deep red leather interior adds the contrast and refinement expected from a Ferrari.
Underneath the understated exterior is where the character really changes. The Novitec exhaust and ECU calibration unleash a far more dramatic V12 soundtrack, transforming the FF from a discreet grand tourer into something that demands attention the moment the throttle is opened.
The finished build successfully combines luxury, long-distance capability, aggressive styling, and V12 performance, creating a Ferrari FF that looks sophisticated at a glance but reveals its true character when driven.
HG Performance was proud to collaborate with Blue Label Auto on the project, with the finished Ferrari FF prepared for display at SEMA 2015.
