Ferrari F12 Berlinetta (2013-17)

 

The F12 was Ferrari's front-engine V12 grand-touring coupe for most of the 2010s. It was introduced for the 2013 model year as the replacement for the 599 in Ferrari's lineup and is powered by a naturally-aspirated 6.3-liter V12 with 731 horsepower and 509 pound-feet of torque. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is the sole transmission option for the F12 Berlinetta, which sends power to the rear wheels. It launches from zero to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds and can accomplish a top speed of 211 mph. Standard mechanical features on the F12 Berlinetta include an adaptive suspension, limited-slip differential, carbon ceramic brakes with red calipers, a front axle lift system, and a rear liftgate instead of a traditional trunk lid. Inside, the F12's interior is swathed in mostly leather and some carbon fiber and aluminum trim. It also contains an analog tachometer with two configurable digital displays beside it and a decent amount of cargo space for a two-seat supercar. 

Production for the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta concluded in 2017 and was succeeded by the 812 Superfast for 2018. The example pictured in this post is a 2014 model year and is currently for sale at my local Porsche dealer priced at around $275,000. This particular Ferrari was my main motivation for my first vehicle showroom visit of the year, and before Saturday, it had been over a year since I had last seen an F12 Berlinetta up close. In addition, it is quite rare for an exotic car like this one to go up for sale in my local area, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to check this F12 Berlinetta out before it potentially gets sold and is no longer on display inside my local Porsche showroom. Overall, the F12 Berlinetta is a great front-engine V12 supercar and one of the best and my favorite modern Ferraris.
