Ferrari claims that its new F12 Berlinetta is the most powerful and high-performance road car ever.
Performance
The heart of the F12 Berlinetta is the naturally aspirated 6,262cc
V12 engine, which develops 730bhp
at 8,500rpm and 509lb ft of torque at 6,000rpm. The power unit is coupled with
Ferrari's F1 dual-clutch paddle-shift transmission. The car accelerates from
0-62mph in 3.1sec with a top speed of 211mph.
DesignThe F12 Berlinetta features a shorter wheelbase than the 599 that replaces. The two-seater has compact exterior dimensions – it is 4,618mm long and 1,942mm wide.
Ferrari has worked with Scalietti to develop an all-new spaceframe chassis using 12 different kinds of alloy. That results in 20 per cent increase in structural rigidity as well as a 70kg weight reduction.
The Ferrari F12berlinetta features new aerodynamic devices such Aero Bridge and Active Brake Cooling. Some of the highlights are a Carbon-ceramic brakes, and adaptive damping and electronic control systems (E-Diff, ESP Premium and F1-Trac).
The new Ferrari is designed in collaboration between the Ferrari Styling Centre
and Pininfarina. The first cars will hit the market at the end of 2012.
