The F12berlinetta’s 200-bar, direct-injection 6262 cc 65° V12 delivers absolutely unprecedented performance for a naturally aspirated 12-cylinder engine in terms of both power and revs.

DISCOVER FERRARI F12 BERLINETTA
THE F12BERLINETTA NOT ONLY USHERS IN A WHOLE NEW GENERATION OF PRANCING HORSE 12-CYLINDERS BUT IS ALSO THE MOST POWERFUL & HIGH PERFORMANCE FERRARI OF THE RANGE PRODUCT.
Maximum power is 740CV for a specific output of 118CV per litre and 690 Nm of torque. 80 per cent of that torque figure is on tap from 2500 rpm, giving massive acceleration right the way up to the 8700 rpm red line.
This has helped keep the car’s weight down (50 kg has been saved on the body-in-white alone which equates to a saving of 90 kg if the previous chassis were re-engineered to meet crash legislation) and maximise the efficiency of its performance (torsional rigidity has been increased by 20 per cent).
AERODYNAMICS
The result is that the F12berlinetta is the most overall aerodynamically efficient V12 Sport in the Ferrari range ever, a fact attested to by a figure of 1.12 (double that of the 599 GTB Fiorano). Downforce has been boosted by 76% (123 kg at 200 km/h) while drag has been significantly reduced too (the Cd is just 0.299).
VEHICLE DYNAMICS
On top of pure performance figures, however, it is also incredibly fluid and intuitive to drive, thanks to its unique handling which inspires confidence at all speeds, not just on the limit on the track. This was achieved thanks in great part to the development work carried out on the layout which has helped the car take a massive leap forward in terms of agility and responsiveness, even at slower speeds, a characteristic more in keeping with mid-rear-engined cars until now.
ON-BOARD EXPERIENCE
The perfect balance between advanced technologies and the sophisticated, beautifully hand-executed detailing of the Frau leather interior reflects the values that lie at the core of Ferrari’s DNA.
Its system of guide vanes on the brake air ducts opens only in certain conditions, such as, for instance, if brake operating temperatures are high enough.
THE F12BERLINETTA’S 6262CC 65° V12 ENGINE DELIVERS UNPRECEDENTED PERFORMANCE & REVS FOR A NATURALLY-ASPIRATED 12-CYLINDER.
The main objective with the F12berlinetta’s seats was to reduce their volumes as much as possible to ensure freer occupant movement within the cabin while, at the same time, ensuring they are extremely comfortable and respect lateral containment geometries. The headrest is fully integrated into the backrest, giving the seat a very modern, track-inspired feel.
