Another review of Ferrari F12 Berlinetta

Steve Sutcliffe of the British Autocar, had the opportunity to drive for the second time Ferrari F12 Berlinetta , spending a day on the snaky roads of Maranello, just outside the factory Ferrari. The British impressed by the F12, describing us how perfect all the.

Let me remind you that under its hood lies the V12 naturally aspirated engine of FF 6.3-liter (6,262 cc) with an included angle of 65°. Delivers 740 horses at 8500 rpm with 690 Nm of torque to 118 horses / liter. 80% of torque is available from 2,500 rpm thus offering a seamless acceleration up to 8,700 rpm where the revs V12. Mated to a 7-speed F1 gearbox with short gear ratios which has been created exclusively for F12 Berlinetta.

0-100 km/h makes in 3.1 seconds, the 0-200 km/h in 8.5 seconds with a top speed of 340 km/h. Has an average consumption of 30% less than that of 599 emits 350 g/km CO2. At Fiorano turns to 1:23.

It features active aerodynamics with aerodynamic coefficient only 0.299 Cd. The vertical output power has increased by 76% compared to 599, after the 200 km/h produces 123 kg of downforce. Important role in the car’s aerodynamics play two things. The Aero Bridge which uses the lid to create downforce channeling the air from the top of the car, on the side, which cooperates with the air exiting the front wings thereby reducing the aerodynamic drag.
