  • Ferrari reveals first photos of an upcoming Limited Edition series

    2021 Ferrari Limited SeriesThe first official images of Ferrari’s last limited-edition lineup have been published. This new model is the expression of the brand’s concept of an extreme front-engined Berlinetta, and adopting the characteristics of the 812 Superfast to new levels. The result will be a vehicle that adopts Ferrari’s engineering experience of the past 70 years and will aim at the brand’s most passionate collectors and connoisseurs.

    As with any other Ferrari unit, the new family member features an advanced drivetrain system – in this case, this is Maranello’s famous 65° V12 engine that reaches the highest output to date – 830 cv – and revs to 9,500 rpm. Further characteristics include a new valve timing mechanism and a new exhaust system along with many others.

    Furthermore, the technical refinement also adopts independent steering on all four wheels and the overall weight reduction. This is achieved by using extensively carbon fiber, both on the exterior and in the cockpit. Last, but not least, the new model also comes with version 7.1 of the renowned Side Slip Control vehicle dynamics system.

    In terms of aerodynamics, one of the most striking aspects of the new Ferrari model is the research that the engineering team has done before coming up with the vehicle’s final design. This includes focusing mainly on enhancing the downforce of the vehicle by including new front air intakes, diffusers, and rear exhaust configuration, and patented design approaches. All these changes and additions follow bran’s notion of form following function.

    In terms of interior, the vehicle reflects the design concept of the 812 Superfast, retaining the main dash and door panel interfaces and volumes, including the signature diapason motif. Also, the door panel has been redesigned to reduce weight and, combined with the introduction of the H-Gate theme on the tunnel, more modern expression is achieved.

  • Ferrari Unveil Their Most Powerful Supercar to Date

    2017 Ferrari 812 SuperfastFerrari has never failed to impress over the years, but the new 812 Superfast could have just set the bar even higher.  The new 12-cyclinder engine is able to produce an output of 800 CV (8,500 RPM) which exceeds what the original F12 Berlinetta was capable of.

    To achieve this, engineers at Ferrari had to work on increasing the amount of air that could be drawn into the engine and this has helped build a much more efficient engine.  Aerodynamics was also a major focus when designing the 812 Superfast. Without question, these changes have clearly paid off in terms of the car’s performance statistics.  With a top speed of 340kph and the ability to reach 0-100kph in only 2.9 seconds, this is quite unbelievable considering that the 812 Superfast does not look like some ‘zooped up’ racing car. Just making a machine of this nature road legal is an achievement in itself.

    One of the more interesting features, in fact, is the new electric powered steering system which has again, helped to improve the overall driving experience. More specifically, the new steering system allows for greater agility on the road and a quicker response time to steering wheel movements.

    In terms of exterior design, the 812 Superfast looks simply magnificent.  Ferrari has been able create a more elegant shape but at the same time has been successful in retaining that imposing look which Ferrari has always had. With the V12 engine positioned at the front, this has given the car a beautifully elongated bonnet, much like the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta and Ferrari California. The extra focus on aerodynamics has also created more muscular wheel arches, only adding to its dominating presence on the road.

    2017 Ferrari 812 Superfast

    The 812 superfast made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland and is said to have stolen the show at this year’s event.  There have been, however, a few comments about the name of the model with some people saying the name sounds slightly childish, but this is unlikely to stop the 812 Superfast from being another success story in Ferrari’s books.  Already, the car is in high demand from those who can afford the hefty price tag of £241,000.

  • DMC Ferrari Berlinetta F12 SPIA Spotted In Hong Kong

    DMC-Ferrari-Berlinetta-F12-SPIA-THUMBThe luxury tuning experts at DMC are now gaining popularity in China, and the proof for this is that a DMC Ferrari Berlinetta F12 SPIA was recently spotted in Hong Kong and captured by the photo wizard Linus Lam.

    The DMC F12 SPIA has unique white exterior, which makes perfect contrast to the DMC carbon fiber kit which was installed at a later time. In fact, the refinement gives the Ferrari even more aggressive look and improved aerodynamics.

    To go into details, the front diffuser was substituted with a prominent new lip splitter. The latter extends the car and also enhances its road stability. Next, the front hood was entirely replaced with a carbon fiber version. An optional roof scoop is also visible here and it definitely contributes towards DMC’s F12 bolder appearance.

    What is more, the extended side skirts add to improved road stability, because they utilize a pair of diffuser plates. They also feature flaps which go in harmony with those found on the front diffuser. The trunk has received a 599XX spoiler wing, which goes well along with the newly designed rear diffuser.

    Inside, the package is finalized with an interior refinement. DMC has used here Italy’s finest leathers and carbon finer. Plenty of buttons and trims and a redesigned steering wheel are also present.

  • Ferrari F12 Berlinetta – Options List

    Ferrari cars are not for everyone, because they are too expensive to buy and to maintain. This is especially true for the F12 Berlinetta, which is the newest and most powerful Ferrari, ever. The starting price is $315,888, but the optional extras are insanely expensive.

    This particular order form for such car shows, how the price easily increase to over $380k just for several additional extras. As the author of the picture showed one of the most ridiculous options is the carbon fiber cup holder for whopping $3,533 – this is too much even for billionaires. There are also other unnecessary extras like carbon fiber dash inserts for $7,227, carbon fiber bridge for $3,051  and grey-painted brake calipers for $1,445.

    Everybody admits that the F12 Berlinetta is one of the best sports cars in the world, but these prices just can ruin the whole idea!
