It has Novitec fingerprints all over it which has some goods and some bads in terms of looks. But overall I think it looks pretty good. But I would never want to own one. That engine must require maintenence worth multiple times the car.

A 4.3 L V8 making 480 odd hp in normally aspirated form is pretty stressed, but taking it up to 636 hp is going pretty steep. If the engine was built extra tough to start with then it should not be OK, but Ferrari has never had the reputation of Porsche for innate engine strength (though over the last few years they really have liufted their game).

But still...I would not say no to a 636 hp Ferrari...

Extremely impressive, as fo rengine stress, sure, its gotta be pushing the limits and beyond, but certainly it is obviously possible. Im certain Novitec would have ran some serious tests first....

Or at least you would think that, right?

I think we get into the issue of reliability vs. durability: maybe Novitec can give you a pretty good guarantee the thing will hold together for 35,000 miles (?) before requring a rebuild. As long as you can be sure the thing won't blow up b4 then, well, I think that is fair, given the power from the small capacity.
