Istorie
The body of the F12berlinetta is designed by the Ferrari Styling Centre and Pininfarina, and shares some styling elements with other recent Ferrari models. This includes a front grille similar to the FF and headlights shared with the FF and 458 Italia. The interior, based on the FF, features new "Frau Leather" upholstery with aluminum, Alutex, and carbon fibre trim, and has increased luggage space compared to the 599. It was the most powerful road-legal Ferrari at launch.

The body of the F12berlinetta is designed by the Ferrari Styling Centre and Pininfarina, and shares some styling elements with other recent Ferrari models. This includes a front grille similar to the FF and headlights shared with the FF and 458 Italia. The interior, based on the FF, features new "Frau Leather" upholstery with aluminum, Alutex, and carbon fibre trim, and has increased luggage space compared to the 599.
The F12berlinetta uses a 6,262 cc, naturally aspirated 65° V12 engine shared with the FF, but producing 730 hp at 8250 rpm and 690 N·m of torque at 6000 rpm, making it the most powerful road-legal Ferrari at launch. This allows the F12berlinetta to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in an officially reported 3.1 seconds, 0 to 200 km/h in 8.5 seconds and a top speed of over 340 km/h. It is theoretically possible for the F12berlinetta to even reach 362 km/h.
The engine of the F12berlinetta has been designed to be more efficient than that of the 599, as well as more powerful. The engine management system is fitted with Ferrari's HELE start-stop system to reduce fuel consumption when idling. Ferrari reports that the F12berlinetta can achieve 15.7 L/100 km – a 30% improvement over the 599 – and produces CO2 emissions of 350 g/km.
The F12berlinetta makes use of aerodynamic techniques based on Ferrari's 599XX and Formula One programmes, developed with wind tunnel and CFD testing. A notable feature is the Aero Bridge, an air channel running from the bonnet, through the flanks and along the sides of the vehicle, creating an effect that increases downforce. Another feature is Active Brake Cooling ducts, which open to direct cooling air only when the brakes are hot, keeping them closed at other times to reduce aerodynamic drag. The F12berlinetta produces 123 kg of downforce at 200 km/h – an increase of 76% over the 599 GTB – and has a drag coefficient of 0.299.
The car is built around an aluminum space frame chassis co-developed with Scaglietti. The chassis is made up of 12 different aluminum alloys and improves structural rigidity by 20% over the 599, whilst reducing weight by 70 kg. The center of gravity has been lowered by around 25 mm. The F12berlinetta's weight distribution is 46% front, 54% rear.
This car has covered 1230 Km.
