Ferrari F12berlinetta

Engine and fuel economy

The 65-degree V12 belongs to the F140 engine family and shares its 6262 cm³ displacement with the FF. It is equipped with direct gasoline injection for the first time and is designed to be more efficient than in the 599. The HELE start-stop system reduces fuel consumption at idle. Ferrari claims 18 mpg, a 30 percent improvement over the 599, and CO2 emissions of 350 g/km.

Aerodynamics

The aerodynamic solutions stem from Ferrari's 599XX and Formula 1 programs, developed in the wind tunnel and via CFD simulations. Alongside the Aero Bridge, the active brake cooling ducts open only when the brakes are hot and otherwise remain closed to cut drag. At 124 mph, the car generates 123 kg of downforce—76 percent more than the 599 GTB—with a drag coefficient of 0.299.

Chassis and brakes

The aluminum spaceframe was developed with Scaglietti and consists of 12 different aluminum alloys. The center of gravity is roughly 25 mm lower than in the 599. Equipment includes third-generation carbon-ceramic brakes, magnetorheological dampers, an electronic limited-slip differential, and F1-Trac traction control, operated via the Manettino on the steering wheel. The Michelin tires measure 255/35 ZR20 at the front and 315/35 ZR20 at the rear.
