812 and F12 are great but it's extremely difficult for me to buy a sports car with the engine in the front.....having driven an F12 I just can't see that happening.....

Understand it's cooler as does Ferrari in the back but if one wants a V12 front seat V8 back seat not sure there is any performance difference.

I like how Ferrari went sports car turbo in the V8 and left the GT V12 NA.

V12 sounds vs the V8 sounds are worlds apart as is the build fit and finish.

The v12's feel finished better than the v8's?? They are built using same methods and materials, how is that possible?

Take it! I'm dying to get my hands on mine. Plus, it's the last NA V12 from Ferrari. As much as I like the styling/handling of the 488 there is nothing better than hearing a screaming V12 behind you.

Yes and no - they are two completely different builds.

Base 488 245k - F12 msrp 319k.

Weight 3404 vs 3593

if any analogy appears - it have to be said that a Vette starting with the C7 looks like an F. and not the other way around.

Starting with the C7? You must not recall the '60s or '70s ...

Ferrari V12;s are their highest depreciating assets

They will pick up the numbers needed in their other models Ferrari has stated the V12 NA will stay. The V8's will be offered in the Lusso but not the 812.
