Powering to 100km/h in 3.1 Seconds, Felt Through the Rear Wheels

As we have highlighted on OPENERS multiple times already, theF12berlinetta" is a classic Ferrari FR coupe, featuring a transaxle layout with the transmission positioned just ahead of the rear axle and a naturally aspirated V12 engine mounted at the front.

The engine, which allows for 8,700 rpm, produces a maximum output of 740 ps at 8,250 rpm and a maximum torque of 690 Nm from 6,000 rpm. Furthermore, 80 percent of this maximum torque is available from 2,500 rpm, resulting in astonishing specs of 0-100 km/h in 3.1 seconds and 0-200 km/h in 8.5 seconds, which have already been released.

Despite its immense power, the vehicle weighs just 1,525 kg, with a Cd value of 0.299. While its performance is a subject of immense curiosity, the British media outlet "AUTOCAR" has tested the F12berlinetta at Ferrari's home ground, the Fiorano Circuit, and on public roads, releasing a video of their experience.

Matt Saunders, who is at the wheel in the video, gives an initial positive assessment, stating that the F12berlinetta offers an exceptionally comfortable ride, unlike any high-performance car he has encountered before. Its stability in everyday driving conditions also appears to be high.

On the other hand, during cornering, the rear tends to break away quickly, perhaps due to its immense power. However, he notes that it is easy to control, with responsive throttle input and an engine that is simple to manage. The acceleration is, as expected, tremendous, and the performance figures advertised in the specs seem to be accurate. For further details on its handling, and the four-wheel control discernible from the state of the wheels, pay close attention to the video.
