LOMA Ferrari F12 Berlinetta Front View Ferrari F12 Berlinetta is one of the most wanted vehicles around the world. If anyone has every seen it on the streets or even had the opportunity of driving it, he or she stays deeply and forever touched. Famous for its beautiful exterior, aerodynamic proportions and powerful capabilities, the Berlinetta is a true masterpiece and legend among other cars.

This Ferrari is driven by the staggering 6.3 liter naturally aspirated V12 engine, which produces 740HP (544 kW) and 690Nm (509 lb-ft) of torque. And for this reason, the tuners at LOMA decided not to do anything about increasing the power output of the F12.

So, in other words, the beautiful supersports car has received minor updates that further enhance its appeal and bring forward its athletic character. What kind of changes has been made? The answer is very simple ones.

Touring Superleggera F12 Berlinetta Lusso Inspired by Italian Golden Era

Staring at the pictures of the Touring Superleggera Ferrari F12 Berlinetta Lusso I am amazed by the detailed work the tuners have done. The car is a main star at company’s stand at the Geneva Motor Show and so far has gathered many glances. The good news is that there will be more than one car produced. Precisely – only five. But they are enough if we are going to see the same precision and individuality applied.

But let’ see why the Berlinetta Lusso is so attractive. First of all it is a natural born street legal two-seater. Secondly, its visuals are stunning, given that they have been inspired by the golden era of Italian “fuoriserie”, literally meaning a “custom build car.”

Next, luxury is to be found everywhere: from the exterior with its long bonnet to the unique cockpit. The Azzurro Niourlague paint finish further strengthens the sense of freedom evoking images of the Mediterranean Sea in a sunny day. In contrast, the interior has been decided in dark shades but harmonized with blue accents like the stitching.

Based on F12berlinett’s chassis, the car has also kept many of its characteristics unchanged. This means that there is no improvement to the engine, electronic equipment or technology. However, more than twelve different types of alloy – have been used for the modification of this car with the sole purpose of saving more weight. The result is a body mass of 1.525 kg better torsional stiffness, outstanding performance and probably some improvements in efficiency.

The other material used here is of course carbon fiber. The bonnet, front bumper, skirts, tailgate, front splitters and rear diffuser have all been made of it. But enough talk! Dive into the gallery below and see how detailed this modified car is. Impressive, isn’t it?
