Novarossi engines ‘for sale by mid-2024’ – Statement

After making a number of social media posts that forced Nova Engines to issue a statement to clarify some ‘very confused’ rumours, Novarossi has today published a much clearer statement about the rebirth of the iconic Italian engine brand.  The statement published on the Novarossi World Facebook is from Massimo Rossi, the grandson of Ugo Rossi founder of the Rossi Company and who’s brother Cesare Rossi was the driving forced behind Novarossi in its heyday.  Apologising for the previous Novarossi posts made on the matter, Massimo outlines the new generation of Novarossi engines will be entirely produced in Italy with the first engines ready for sale in mid 2024.

Dominic Greiner leaves Novarossi

1/10th 200mm Nitro Touring benchmark driver, Serpent’s Dominic Greiner has announced his departure from Italian engine manufacturer Novarossi. The former IFMAR 1/10th 200mm World Champion leaves behind a very fruitful 3-year campaign with the brand, that culminated in the 2016 Worlds title, and he has the following to say about his departure:

With the season hopefully starts soon I would like to announce that I will no longer race for Novarossi engines. It was a difficult decision for me but it’s time for a change. We had grateful three years together and could win some big events including my first world championship title 1:10 in Italy 2016. I want to thank the whole Novarossi factory for the trust and the support. Especially to Daniele Ielasi for the work at the track and the time for improvements. News will follow soon.
