Ferrari F12 Berlinetta

Car image      

The Ferrari F12 Berlinetta is the most powerful Ferrari ever made.It is a smaller and more powerful car than a 599. The F12 has a V12 with the pistons at an angle of 65 degree V. The F12 shares the same engine as a 599 GTB Fiorano,  ie it shares the same 6262 cc capacity and the same angle configuration(65 degrees) but its power output is increased by 80 bhp to make it a 730 bhp output and it produces 509 Nm of torque. All these reasons shows that the F12 is the most powerful on road car Ferrari has ever made.It has a curb weight of about 1525 kgs and this cars performance is extraordinary, ie this thing delivers 0-100 km/h  in 3.1 seconds and 0-200 in 8.5 seconds  

What I like of the appearance is the new aluminium space frame chassis which is mixed with 12 different types of alloys to reduce weight and structural rigidity. It also has exceptional aerodynamics, the highlight to me is the aerobridge. This is observed on the bonnet, there is a funnel air way from the top to the bottom which will push down the air therefore increasing the down force which I think is very clever engineering. I like the grill design but what I think is that the symbol on the grill shouldn't be there because since the main logo is right above it, there is no need the put just the horse right below it, And I like about the overall looks is that it the car is a mix of a Ferrari 458 Italia and a 599 GTO.

What I think of the performance is that it is very efficient as it produces 350 g/km of CO2 which I find very impressive for an engine with that much power.
