The Ferrari F12 carries 730 hp from a V12 with no turbos, and you hear all 12 cylinders.
The Ferrari F12berlinetta is a front-engined, 2-seat V12 coupe, the last Ferrari with the 6.3 liter naturally aspirated V12 before the 812 took over, making 730 hp with no turbo in the way. Renters book it over a mid-engined Ferrari for a V12 day on the coast, since they want the engine more than the crowd a red 488 draws.
The V12 pulls from idle to an 8,700 rpm redline with no lag at any point, because there is nothing between your foot and 12 cylinders, and the long hood turns in like a smaller car since the engine sits behind the front axle. This is an experience car, the drive is the reason.
Ferrari sold the F12 as 2 cars, the F12berlinetta that ran for the model's full life and the limited F12tdf that closed it out with more power and rear-wheel steering. We run the F12berlinetta.
The Ferrari F12berlinetta is the standard car and the one we run, in satin black over black leather with red stitching. A 6.3 liter naturally aspirated V12 makes 730 hp through a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox to the rear wheels, with carbon ceramic brakes, magnetic dampers and the Aero Bridge channels cut through the hood. There was a single trim, the options list did the rest.
The Ferrari F12tdf was the limited run that ended the model, 799 built, named for the Tour de France road races Ferrari once won. It took the same V12 to 769 hp, cut about 110 kg, widened the front track and added rear-wheel steering, with a stiffer ride and far less trim in the cabin. We do not run the F12tdf.
