Ferrari F12 Berlinetta information
The F12 Berlinetta is one of the most extravagant creations of Ferrari in recent years, a very sporty Gran Turismo that today represents the penultimate step of power of the brand, only below its big brother the 812 Superfast and of course, the purest of Ferrari.
This aerodynamic design is dreamy for everyone who looks at it closely, and it is definitely a luxury car that will make those lucky enough to own it feel like an elegant racing driver on the track. But if you decide to use it as a private-use vehicle the Italian styling immediately jumps out, it’s most striking design element, smooth roof lines and prominent curves starting from the rear parallel of the door of this wide-fronted two-seater.
This Ferrari is not the only high displacement super sports car on the market, Lamborghini offers similar options, as does Aston Martin, but nothing compares to a Ferrari.
This brutal car is a must experience for all racing and competition fanatics, with acceleration that will tempt you to push that accelerator pedal to the metal in order to burn some tires.
Italian luxury shines through in this model, whose design clearly explains the origin of its name. The classic shape of the wide hood and low roof is attractive and unique in the market with aerodynamics thought through from start to finish.
The rear of the Ferrari is reminiscent of the Formula 1 team’s sports cars, once again reminding us that technologies developed for the racetrack are always carried over to retail vehicles, enhancing and intensifying the driving experience.
In conclusion, this model is clearly an Italian thoroughbred to consider if you want to spend an exciting, nerve-wracking weekend with the security that Ferrari provides.
Ferrari retakes its V12 design at 65 degrees of inclination that emanates that sound known worldwide by anyone interested in supercars. That whistle in this one represents the gallop of 760 horsepower that are released all at once, and of its 690 pounds of torque that screw us to the seat.
Its 6.3-liter displacement has a trim line at 8500 revolutions per minute, but maximum torque is available from 3000 revolutions. This engine offers a specific power, i.e. the power obtained from each cylinder of 87 horsepower.
It is a record for an aspirated engine and much more power in a Ferrari cylinder than in some four-cylinder engines of commercial vehicles, so wild is the house of the cabalino rampante. If this is not enough, there is a better tuned and more extreme version of the F12 Berlinetta called F12Tdf, which with better engine mapping and some weight changes, raises its power by 20 horsepower to 280 total horsepower.
So many horses are thirsty, and is that in mixed cycle Ferrari clarifies that this V12 consumes 15 liters per 100 kilometers, a record amount of fuel for that size of engine and which causes squeeze every last drop as long as you feel that acceleration. The average carbon dioxide emissions are 12.3 ounces per kilometer, which makes it homologable to Euro 6 and can circulate without any problem in the European Union.
This Ferrari mounts the revised generation of the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission it shares with its siblings, the 458 Italia and the California. It features aluminum or carbon fiber paddle shifters fixed to the steering column and shorter ratios to dominate the engine’s torque.
The interior is clearly sporty, but that does not mean it is not luxurious, a car of this category has to sweat sportiness to stand out from the competition. We can expect an aggressive interior design, in which both occupants are firmly attached to the seat, but it is not uncomfortable, so if your intention is to use this Italian beast to go to the office, you will be more than satisfied.
The driver’s position is low to help the vehicle’s center of gravity and make it more maneuverable in tight corners, and keeps you well aware of the car’s movements. The steering wheel is similar to the one Ferrari usually uses, but this time it is covered in fine Italian leather making it feel a bit warmer and more luxurious. The grip has also been improved, its racing shape allows us to look clearly over the dashboard.
The dashboard is also classic Ferrari, we see an analog tachometer that is the center of attention, with 10,000 revolutions marked, and indicating the gear that the transmission mounts. On the sides there are two 8-inch screens that show various information to the driver such as fuel, oil pressure, water and oil temperature and tire pressure, in front of the driver a smaller screen shows similar data.
The aerodynamics of the car conceived by the Italian design house Pininfarina and tuned by Ferrari, incorporates many revolutionary solutions for drag issues. One of the most outstanding is the aerodynamic bridge that is achieved by using lines and shapes that allow the hood to generate downforce for the vehicle.
The brake cooling system was redesigned and made active, adapting automatic dampers that open when the brake system reaches high temperatures to keep the brakes at an optimal operating temperature.
All the research work of Pininfarina and Ferrari paid off and is confirmed by the numbers. It has a coefficient of friction of 0.299, and a formidable 123 kilograms of downforce at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour.
Another highlight of this car are the tires, mounted on Bridgestone Potenza S007, designed specifically to handle all the power and torque transmitted by its limited slip differential. They employ run flat technology in case of an emergency at its top speed of 340 kilometers per hour, quite formidable numbers.
It is worth noting that Bridgestone claims that the design of these tires comes almost entirely from all the information gathered throughout all the Formula 1 seasons in which the brand has participated.
