One of the nicest guys on the net takes one of the fastest and most beautiful supercars on the market for a really fast ride then burns five sets of rubber with it. Totally worth your time. Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Harris meets the F12 Berlinetta. Enjoy!
We've already featured the first tuning package for the Ferrari F12 by Novitec Rosso. But at that time, it was before the N-LARGO bodykit for the F12 was designed, so the package only included performance upgrades and new wheels.
With the new N-LARGO kit, things got more interesting. The new carbon fiber wide body kit includes everything from new front and rear bumpers to side skirts, extended wheel arches and rear spoiler. The front hood has also been elegantly modified without compromising the original down force generation system.
Performance upgrades include an optimized ECU and a sports exhaust system that will push the maximum out put to 781 Hp and 722 Nm of torque. Thanks to the new engine tweaks, the F12 Berlinetta gained 10 km/h in top speed compared to the original 340 Km/h of the standard car.
Now between the DMC SPIA and this, the choice is hard to make. Check out the mega photo gallery after the jump and tell us what you think!
We've already seen what German tuner DMC can do to make the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta an outrageous beast. But if you want something more conventional and just as breathtaking, this F12 Berlinetta by SR Auto Group is just for you. It rides on PUR 9INE Monoblock wheels measuring 21inches at the front and 22inches at rear. The wheels face is finished in Brushed Silver with a Gloss Anthracite windows. More pictures of the beast in the gallery below.
After months of teasing, German tuner DMC finally and officially unveils its interpretation of the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. And the result is pretty stunning. We're also happy to see that the final model comes in Ferrari red instead of the dark blue we've seen in the first renderings.
The body kit includes a new front splitter, side skirts, a rear diffuser, a new front hood and a roof scoop, all made from carbon fiber. The 6.2-Liter V12 now develops an extra 24 Hp which means the total output has jumped to 764 Hp. That allows the beast to achieve a top speed of 350 Km/h which means it's even faster than Novitec Rossos's F12.
The car rides on 21 inches-front, 22 inches-rear forged alloys wrapped in Pirelli Sport Tires measuring 255/30 and 332/25. More pictures of the beast in the gallery below.
After revealing its performance upgrade kit for the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta and showcasing its capabilities on the German Autobahn, Novitec Rosso released two teasers of its styling package for the ex-fastest road going Ferrari. The body kit includes hugely revised front and rear bumpers, new side skirts as well as a new rear spoiler, all made from carbon fiber.
As a refresher, the first performance upgrade released by Novitec Rosso for the Italian beauty helps increase by 23 Hp (and 13 Nm) for a total of 763 Hp. That will allow the Berlinetta to have an additional 5 Km/h in top speed for a total of 345 Km/h (214.5 mph).
German tuning company DMC, known for its outrageous creations like the Lamborghini Aventador LP900 Molto Veloce, introduced its tuning package for the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta dubbed "SPIA". The body kit includes a new front splitter, side skirts, a rear diffuser, a new front hood and a roof scoop, all made from carbon fiber. The 6.2-Liter V12 now develops an extra 24 Hp which means the total output has jumped to 764 Hp. That allows the beast to achieve a top speed of 350 Km/h which means it's even faster than Novitec Rossos's F12.
Wheels are 21/22 inch forged alloys wrapped in Pirelli Sport Tires measuring 255/30 and 332/25. More pictures of the beast in the gallery below.
After Novitec Rosso and Wheelsandmore, here's what Oakley Design has to offer for Ferrari's most powerful road going supercar. The car features a new carbon fiber front splitter, side skirts and the quadruple exhausts were replaced by single ones. No details about the performance upgrades have been released yet. So until the car takes shape in the real world, enjoy the high res renderings in the gallery below.
Yes, another F12 Berlinetta review... But this one is quite interesting because it puts it against the latest greatest thing from Ferrari: the 599 GTO. Compared to the 599GTB Fiorano and its 620 Hp V12, the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta belongs to another planet. With 730 Hp coming out of its V12 heart, it simply has the most powerful V12 that ever equipped a road going Ferrari. So if there's a Ferrari model that can compete with the beast, it must be the 599 GTO. With 661 Hp, it still produces 69 ponies less than the Berlinetta, but the 599 GTO is a technological masterpiece that is meant to be a track beast for the road. Besides, it has one of the fastest gearboxes that have ever been fitted in a road going Ferrari model, coming straight from its F1 car. Let's see what the EVO guys think of the prancing horse duo...
The Ferrari F12 Berlinetta is the fastest, most powerful road going Ferrari ever built. It's also one of the most beautiful. British car magazine AutoCar got their hands on the Italian beauty to test it on the road and on the track in Italy, for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
After revealing its new fastest road going machine two days ago, Ferrari released a picture of its 65 degree V12 engine. And as always, the engine its self is a wonderful piece of art.
Not convinced by its looks? Don't worry, the most interesting part lies under the front hood. A 730 Hp naturally aspirated ferrari V12! And according to Ferrari that makes it the new fastest (road going) Ferrari ever built, outperforming cars like the Enzo and the 599 GTO. What makes the F12 Berlinetta a very fast machine is its aerodynamically optimized body and its relatively low weight of 1525 Kg, especially compared to its predecessor. Its body is also 20% more rigid and generates a downforce of 123 Kg at 200 km/h. The F12 Berlinetta hits 100 Km/h in 3.1 seconds and has a top speed of 340 Km/h. Perhaps one of the most interesting parts is the Active Brake Cooling, "...a system that opens guide vanes to the brake cooling ducts only at high operating temperatures".
