Ferrari F12 Berlinetta

Ferrari has unveiled their new sportscar, Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Powered by a 6.3L V12, F12 Berlinetta is the first Ferrari to be powered by their new V12 generating maximum power of 740 PS at 8,500 rpm and peak torque of 690 Nm at 6,000 rpm allowing the new Ferrari to rocket from 0-100 kmph in just 3.1 seconds and achieve a top speed of 340+ kmph. Ferrari F12 Berlinetta will replace the 599 and is expected to be priced in the region of $400,000. Deliveries of Ferrari F12 Berlinetta are expected to begin later this year or early next year. The F12 Berlinetta, a name that references classic Ferrari’s including the 250 GT Berlinetta, can crack 0-100kph in just 3.1sec and 0-200kph in just 8.5sec. Its total torque output is 509lb ft, 80 per cent of which is available from 2500rpm. The normally aspirated V12 revs all the way 8700rpm. Ferrari also claims the new car has lapped its Fiarano test track in 1m23s, which makes it the fastest Ferrari road car ever to have lapped the circuit. Its maximum speed is claimed to be “over 340kph”. The engine, which has a specific output of 116bhp/litre in the F12, is based on the same 6262cc 65 degree V12 found in the FF. But the F12 produces 80bhp and 5lb ft more than the FF, and its power and torque outputs also eclipse those of the 612bhp 6.0-litre V12 found in the 599. While the power has increased dramatically in the F12 over the 599, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions have decreased at a similar rate.
