F12berlinetta
Unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Motor
Show, the F12berlinetta replaces the
599 series and offers an improved
specification of the 599 GTB Fiorano.
The 65˚ V12 is more powerful and
efficient, producing 750 bhp and
enabling a top speed of 211 mph.
Fuel efficiency has been improved
with this car too, in fact it is 30 per
cent more efficient than the 599, and
Ferrari’s HELE stop-start system
reduces fuel consumption when idle.
The space-frame chassis was co-
produced with Scaglietti, utilizing
12 different aluminum alloys to

improve structural rigidity while
also reducing weight. Inspired
by F1 design, the F12berlinetta
employs aerodynamic technology,
developed with wind tunnel testing
and extensive computational fluid
dynamics simulations (CFD).
Downforce is created by the Aero
Bridge, an air channel that runs
from the bonnet along each side
of the car, which also gives the
F12berlinetta a notable feature.
Aerodynamic drag is reduced by the
Active Brake Cooling ducts, which
only open when the brakes are hot.
On the Fiorano test circuit it was
able to achieve a lap in one minute
23 seconds – one second faster than
the 599 GTO.
