"No, it’s not Ferrari’s first diesel as the name might seem to imply, tdf stands for Tour De France. Not for the bicycle race that this front-engine V12 supercar has nothing to do with, but for the long ago motor race of the same name. More importantly, what the tdf means is more power and more sharp-edged performance than the standard F12, that and knowing you have those three letters on the end of the badge. You want some cool tech to help real in all that power? Well meet VSW or Virtual Short Wheelbase. That is a fancy way of saying rear-wheel steering. With a tail-happy tendency the VSW is there to help real it in a bit although not enough to ruin the fun of it. What is the true appeal of a front-engine V12 Ferrari? One single rev to the 8,900 rpm redline will answer that."—Official description[1]
The 2015 Ferrari F12tdf is a rear-wheel drive grand tourer by Ferrari.
It appears in Forza Horizon 3 as part of the VIP Membership and as standard in all subsequent main series titles.
Synopsis[]
The F12tdf is a limited-production exotic grand tourer and high performance variant of the Ferrari F12berlinetta, with only 799 units produced. Its 'tdf' moniker pays homage to the Tour de France automobile race held between 1899 and 1986 and which was regularly won by the Ferrari 250 between 1956 and 1964.[2]
The F12tdf uses a variant of the F12berlinetta's 6.3 liter (6,262 cc) V12 engine, codenamed F140 FG. Redlining at 8,900 rpm, the V12 produces 769 hp (573 kW) and 520 ft·lb (705 N·m) of torque. The F12tdf also weighs 242 lb (110 kg) less than the normal F12berlinetta, leaving the weight as 3351 lb (1520 kg), which then yields a power-to-weight ratio of 506 hp (377 kW) per tonne.
Performance[]
The F12tdf is a faster F12berlinetta that improves the 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) acceleration time from 3.1 seconds to 2.9 seconds, while also being 1 second faster for 0 to 100 mph (161 km/h) acceleration due to requiring only 6 seconds. The wider gear ratios enable a top speed of 216 mph (348 km/h) in Forza Motorsport 7, and 239 mph (384 km/h) in the Horizon series.
Braking efficiency has also been increased over the F12berlinetta. Coupled with a lower weight, the F12tdf passes through corners more efficiently than the F12berlinetta. It is the sharpest-steering road-legal Ferrari that is front-engined, capable of at least 1.2 Gs on the lateral skidpad at 120 mph (193 km/h).
