The Ferrari F12 Berlinetta is a front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive
grand tourer. The F12 debuted at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, and
replaced the 599 grand tourer. The naturally aspirated 6.3 liter
Ferrari V12 engine has won the 2013 International Engine of the
Year Award in the Best Performance category and Best Engine above
4.0 liters. The F12 was named "The Supercar of the Year 2012" by
car magazine Top Gear.
In 2014, the F12berlinetta was awarded the XXIII Premio Compasso
d'oro ADI. Accepting the award was Ferrari's Senior Vice President
of Design, Flavio Manzoni.
A 6.3 Liter, naturally aspirated 65� V12 engine of the Ferrari F140
engine family is used. Displacement is shared with the FF, but the
F140 FC version installed on the F12 generates a power output of
730 HP at 8,250 RPM 509 lb�ft of torque at 6,000 RPM.
The engine of the F12 has been designed to be more efficient than
that of the 599, as well as more powerful. The engine management
system is fitted with Ferrari's HELE start-stop system to reduce
fuel consumption when idling. Ferrari reports that the F12 can
achieve 15 MPG - a 30% improvement over the 599 - and produces CO2
emissions of 350 g/km.
The F12 transmits power through a 7-speed dual-clutch
semi-automatic gearbox operated by the driver using paddle shifters
present behind the steering wheel. Compared to similar models, the
F12berlinetta uses shortened gear ratios to match the power of the
engine.
The F12 is built around an aluminum space frame chassis
co-developed with Scaglietti. The chassis is made up of 12
different aluminum alloys and improves structural rigidity by 20%
over the 599, whilst reducing weight by 154 lbs. The center of
gravity has also been lowered by around 1 in. The F12 weight
distribution is 48% front, 52% rear.
Carbon ceramic brakes standard and similar to other contemporary
Ferrari models, the F12 uses Ferrari's third generation CCM3 carbon
ceramic disc brakes with ABS, SCM-E magnetorheological suspension,
an electronic LSD, ESP Premium stability control and F1-Trac
traction control. The car's stability and traction control,
suspension and other settings are controlled by the Manettino dial
mounted on the steering wheel.
The F12 makes use of aerodynamic techniques based on Ferrari's
599XX and Formula One programs, developed with wind tunnel and CFD
testing. A notable feature is the Aero Bridge, an air channel
running from the bonnet, through the flanks and along the sides of
the vehicle, creating an effect that increases downforce. Another
feature is Active Brake Cooling ducts, which open to direct cooling
air only when the brakes are hot, keeping them closed at other
times to reduce aerodynamic drag. The F12 produces 271 lbs of
downforce at 124 mph - an increase of 76% over the 599 GTB - and
has a drag coefficient of 0.299
The body of the F12 is designed by the Ferrari Styling Centre and
Pininfarina, and shares some styling elements with other recent
Ferrari models. This includes a front grille similar to the FF and
headlights shared with the FF and 458 Italia. The interior, based
on the FF, features new "Frau leather" upholstery with aluminum,
Alutex, and carbon fiber trim, and has increased luggage space
compared to the 599.
The F12 TDF (tour de France) is a track-focused version of the F12
unveiled in October 2015. The name pays homage to the Tour de
France automobile race held between 1899 and 1986 and which was
regularly won by the Ferrari 250 between 1956 and 1964. The TDF
shares the same 6.3 liter V12 engine, but with power output
increased to 769 HP at 8500 rpm and 520 lb�ft of torque at 6750
rpm. The F12tdf is 243 lbs lighter than the F12, having a claimed
dry weight of 3,120 lbs. Ferrari claimed the TDF to accelerate from
0 to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds and 0 to 124 MPH in 7.9 seconds. Top
speed is in excess of 211 mph. The car has recorded a 1 minute 21
seconds lap time on Ferrari's Fiorano test circuit , 2 seconds
faster than the standard F12 and 488 GTB, 3 seconds faster than the
599GTO, 4 seconds faster that the Enzo and just 1.3 seconds behind
the fastest lap set by the LaFerrari. The TDF was designed by
Ferrari Styling Centre. Production of the F12tdf was limited to 799
units for the world and just 230 for the US Market.
