"Ferrari’s fastest road car ever is also a car that can be your daily driver, provided, of course, that you can afford it. Exquisitely engineered, the F12 berlinetta will handily beat an Enzo or 599 GTO on the track. Yet all that power is refined; the 730 bhp and 509 lb-ft of torque are delivered in a manner that is calculated and smooth to the point of simplicity. That’s not to say its 0-60 time of 3.1 seconds or its top speed of 211 mph is any less exciting, it just means that the fun factor translates into a slightly more sophisticated feel than that of a track car. This V-12 sounds superb from idle to redline, and its power delivery is ferocious at any RPM."—Official description[1]
The 2012 Ferrari F12berlinetta, abbreviated as Ferrari F12, is a grand tourer by Ferrari that debuted in the December IGN Car Pack for Forza Horizon and is featured in all subsequent Forza main titles as well as Forza Motorsport 6: Apex.
In Forza Motorsport 7 it was rewarded during the Forzathon event Forza World Tour Part 1 held from December 13, 2017 to January 5, 2018.
Synopsis[]
The F12berlinetta was introduced in 2012 as the successor to the Ferrari 599 GTO and Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. It was replaced by the 812 Superfast in 2017.
The F12berlinetta features a new 6.3L (6,262 cc) V12 engine, codenamed F140 FC. The F140 FC engine produces 730 hp (544 kW) at 8,250 rpm and 509 ft·lb (690 N·m) of torque at 6,000 rpm. To date, the F12 has the third most powerful naturally aspirated, non-hybrid V12 engine for any road-going Ferrari, following the 812 Superfast's 789 hp (588 kW) and F12tdf's 769 hp (573 kW).
The F12berlinetta uses a seven-speed dual-clutch automated semi-automatic gearbox which has paddle shifters behind the steering wheel and drives power to the rear wheels. To match the engine's power, the car uses shortened gear ratios.
The F12berlinetta uses aerodynamic techniques based on Ferrari's XX and Formula One programmes, with a notable feature being the Aero Bridge. It is an air channel running from the bonnet, through the flanks, and along the sides, increasing downforce. Active Brake Cooling Ducts open to direct cooling air upon detecting hot brakes and are closed at other times to lower aerodynamic drag. The F12 produces 271 lb (123 kg) of downforce at 124 mph (200 km/h), an increase of 76% over the 599 GTB Fiorano, which results in more efficient handling.
Performance[]
It is claimed to do 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.1 seconds, 0 to 124 mph (200 km/h) in 8.5 seconds, and a top speed of 211 mph (340 km/h).
Rivaling the Enzo Ferrari and 599 GTO, the F12berlinetta features smooth power delivery at any RPM and has a quick acceleration thanks to using shortened gear ratios intended to match the V12 engine's power.
Its shortened gear ratios mean that unless properly tuned, even a fully upgraded F12berlinetta will not be able to take advantage of the increased top speed that can be gained through widening the gear ratios. In Forza Horizon 3, an F12berlinetta with the wider gearing of either the F12tdf or the LaFerrari is capable of 250 mph (403 km/h) while still being in S1 class.
