0-200 in 7.5sec is completely nuts and it can probably go round corners at decent speeds as well. It seems to be more of a baby hypercar than a 488 competitor tbh..

Yes it will be NA. From what I've heard it will both drive and look more aggressive than the current model, sort of a happy medium between the F12 and tdf. Not fully confirmed of course but there are a few guys who are pretty well connected over at ferrarichat who usually know what they're talking about.

According to 488 owner friend, next F12 is a Hybrid following the La Ferrari path.

I was told the F12M is supposed to be a NA V12 and the last one. I would love to pick one up, but don't want the Cali T, GTC4 Lusso and used 488 I would need to buy along with it....

This member isn't exactly correct:

0-60 mph: 2.8s
0-120 mph: 7.6s
max: 212 mph

I find that relatively hard to believe, especially since there was an autobild LT that did that time
0-50 kph: 1,4 s
0-100 kph: 2,8 s
0-160 kph: 5,2 s
0-200 kph: 7,6 s
0-250 kph: 12,2 s
0-300 kph: 22,4 s

There are rumours of this but I'd put my money on that it won't be hybrid.

Define "next f12". Because if you're talking about the one thats about to come out this year, then here are the official specs. However, if you're talking about the one that comes after this, then thats something else.

From fchat

Summary -

Introduction done inside Fiorano Race Track in a large and over heated tent. There were 7 cars on display prior to the preview - 125, 275 GTB, 365 GTB/4, Testarossa, 550, 599, and F12. All V12s.

Introduction by Enrico Galliera who called Fiorano the "Temple of Racing". F1 testing could be heard during the presentation. Whole performance revolved around the "12th Dimension". Not sure what that means.

Intro speech focused on reducing emissions but at the core and heartbeat the the NA V12.

Fabio Menegon introduced the technical aspects of the car.

V12 with 6.5 Liter
New SSC 5.0 software
Version 2.0 Parso Corto Virtuale (all wheel steering system)
800 HP
0-100 kmh under 3 sec. 0-200 kmh under 8 sec
Car was called F152M and V12 Sport
718 Torque
Triple injection
80% max torque at 3500 RPM
Upshifts 30% faster
Downshifts 40% faster
New passenger display - 8.8 inches wide with 1240 x 140 pixels
New electric steering rack
2 new wheels with normal wheel and sport wheel (really cool!!!)

2 cars - one model and one functional car. Functional car is painted in "Rosso 70 Anni"
Serial number of new car is #222990

Keyless Go

Lots of horizontal lines in the car and was a point mentioned running through the inside and outside of car.

Overall the front rocks. Very aggressive. New LED headlights.
Back seems plain to me.
Cockpit lacks the third center vent
Rear diffuser looks like it is floating off the back.


hope that helps!

You're confusing the 720S quoted times (which are accurately quoted) with real life LT times. I expect the 720 will be quite a bit quicker in real life tests, just like Porsche's cars.

When are you going up?
I'm heading up on the 15th. We are going to see the car at the latest showing then grab some dinner in the city.

My 675LT was stupid fast and sounded great.

So all the buzz made me wondering. After reading rave reviews about the 570S, I test drove one yesterday. OMG!! Holy cow acceleration. Turbo lag is not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. The car pulls faster than the RS no doubt. Likely more than the TTS at higher speeds (It's been 2-3 years since I had th 991TTS so not back to back comparison). Perhaps because it is a lighter car but the GT3/GT3RS felt more planted on braking. They certainly do better in turns. I recall chasing a 570S at COTA, and the car would lose my RS on the straights but I'm back on its back at the turns. Have there been less straightaways, the RS would have been faster. That said, the sheer acceleration and smooth(er) up/downshift and the beauty of the 570S, made me trade. The RS is going in and I pick a beautiful Onyx Black 570 tomorrow morning (9 am, to be precise). I won't be tracking as much as I did with the GT3 (and less so with the RS) so looking forward to enjoying this. I really wanted a GT2RS but it is unclear whether or not I will be able to get one (feels unlikely) so for now, I will enjoy the 570S that I got proved nicely under MSRP.
