For Sale: 2014 Ferrari 512 Berlinetta in Saint Louis, Missouri

By the 1990s, Ferrari's series of mid-engine flat twelve-powered machines was showing its age. The roots began in 1973 with the 365 GT/4 BB and included the 512BB, Testarossa, 512TR, and 512M. The mid-engine cars served Ferrari well, but the time was right for something drastically different. Customers and many within the factory walls longed for a return to the classic front-engine GT car, and in 1996, they got their wish when Ferrari introduced the 550 Maranello. It was the first time in 23 years that a flagship Ferrari had its V12 engine in front of the driver. Nearly as soon as it broke cover, fans hailed the 550 as the spiritual successor to the legendary 365 GTB/4 Daytona. The public and the press delighted in its blend of tradition with modern technology, reigniting the passion for the classic front-engine V12 layout that is integral to Ferrari history. The 550 backed the hype with superb chassis dynamics, a powerful engine, and vastly improved technology and build quality. Along with the evolutionary 575M, and entirely new 599 of 2006, the door was thrown open to a new generation of twelve-cylinder supercars from Maranello, blending the latest in advance technology in a traditional layout cherished by marque enthusiasts. In 2012, Ferrari once again redefined the front-engine performance car with the all-new F12 Berlinetta. As the replacement for the 599, the F12 featured a new aluminum alloy spaceframe chassis developed in partnership with Scaglietti, wrapped in a Pininfarina-designed body with F1-derived active and passive aerodynamics. Beneath the hood sat a naturally-aspirated 6.3-literTipo F140V12, producing a bonkers 730 horsepower at 8,200 RPM. It had a nearly 130 horsepower advantage over the 599 and was even more potent than the track-only 599FXX. The F12 was also slightly lighter and boasted 76% more downforce than the 599. The impressive spec sheet included a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, carbon-ceramic brakes with active cooling, electronic differentials, ultra-quick steering, adjustable magnetic suspension, and much more. Every aspect of the car's astonishing performance is accessible via the steering wheel-mountedManettinodial, transforming the F12 from relaxed GT to thundering hypercar at the twist of a knob. The F12 vanquishes 60 mph in 3 seconds, 120 mph in 8.5, and tops out at 211 miles per hour, all while also cosseting occupants in a gorgeous, leather-clad cockpit with a generous cargo area in the rear hatch. Beautiful, brutal, and yet remarkably practical, the Ferrari F12 will surely leave an indelible mark in Ferrari lore for years to come. It is with great pleasure that we offer this stunning 2014 F12 Berlinetta, presented in a beautiful and rare shade of Bianco Fuji over a gorgeous Iroko brown interior.
