The F12berlinetta’s design strikes the perfect balance between maximum aerodynamic efficiency and the elegant proportions typical of Ferrari’s front-engined V12 cars.
Its designers and engineers worked in tandem to sculpt its surfaces so that they seamlessly incorporate the car’s many innovative aerodynamic solutions by subtraction rather than having it bristling with different appendages.
The result of this collaboration is an innovative system of air flows which make this car absolutely original and unique, a true marriage of technology and
aesthetics, an essential requisite for all Prancing Horse cars in which form and function are inextricably linked.
The F12berlinetta has low, sleek coupe lines with powerfully sculpted flanks whose contours curve and dip to channel the air flows from the bonnet. The
two aerodynamic channels, created by reducing the volume between the wings and central bonnet bulge, pass below a bridge in the area between the front wheelarch and the bottom of the A-pillar, before flowing into scoops in the flanks, lifting and lightening the car’s side volume.
The 6262cc 65-degree V12 is the most powerful naturally-aspirated V12 yet. Maximum power is 740CV for a specific output of 118CV per liter and 690 NM of torque. 80 percent of that torque figure is on tap from 2500 rpm, giving massive acceleration right the way up to the 8700 rpm red line.
