Sorry, but I've got to give credit to Ferrari boys:

13.5:1 compression ratio
Active brake cooling
Blown rear diffuser
Twice as aerodynamically efficient as 599
0-125 in 8.5sec. vs 11sec for 599

Wow!

that is one fu(king unreal promo. What a car. I do not think I would care if I could not get it in manual. Since it is a dream car I will dream that I got one in a 6 speed. I look forward to it on Top Gear and JC staining his pants.

I was surprised to find out that unmistakable sound was patented by Ferrari

It gets even better.

54% of the weight on the rear axle, pretty close to a F1 car and my Scuderia.



Brake cooling resolved !!!

Just when you think "how could it get any better?" Very cool.

The silver lining, to the extent that there is one in a +$350k car, is that front-engine V12 Ferrari depreciate faster than their other models. So in 3yrs or so I should be able to pick up a bubble-wrapped F12 that was only driven on Sunday by Miss Daisy for a nice discount.

WOW, very impressive!!!

I am not a big fan of the 599/F12 body design, imho it's too much GT cruiser and not enough sports car, but the performance should certainly be wicked.

They don't know how to name one, but they know how to make a video showcasing one.

For every amazing car their should be an amazing marketing department behind it like this one.
