During the F12 debut, the talent and stature of the model drew spectators from across the globe, even those who could not afford to part with a million pounds to invest in the car. In glorious awe, attendees watched as the speedster brushed aside the equivalent Lamborghini in a comparison test and come painfully close to bagging the Best Driver’s Car Title in 2013. Interestingly, according to Ferrari, “F12berlinetta” is actually a single word, but was popularized by a number of publications as “F12 Berlinetta,” subsequently breaking the term into two words.
With a soft, silky aerodynamic shape, the F12’s form is accentuated by an aluminum frame. Some of its most notable technologies included Active Brake Cooling, F1-Trac traction control, and magnetorheological dampers. The sport car operated with a front mid-engined layout, with its momentum coming from an impressive 6.3-liter 731hp V12 power plant. Despite being overshadowed by the more rigorous LaFerrari 950bhp hybrid, F12 Berlinetta had the distinction of being the most powerful non-hybrid vehicle ever produced by the Italian sports car manufacturer.
