When we thought that Ferrari ran out of powerful ideas it has just unveiled at Geneva Motor Show, the 2013 'F12 Berlinetta' by Ferrari, they claim it is the fastest road car the company has ever produced.
The F12 attains 100km/hr in 3.1 seconds or 200km/hr in just 8.5 seconds, with a maximum speed of over 211mph (340km/hr) with 509-lb-ft (689Nm) of maximum torque. The vehicle is set to replace the company's 599 GTB 'Fiorano' on the production lines as Ferrari mansions in the brochure.
F12 Berlinetta employs a new chassis design, with internal architecture comprised of various aluminium materials and utilizing, aeronautics industry technologies to decrease weight and improve structural rigidity.
The vehicle is also more than twice as aerodynamically efficient as its predecessor, reducing down force and drag via a redesigned hood
(Which channels air away from the top of the car); and employing active brake cooling (whereby the gates of front brake cooling system
Are only opened when necessary, based on the operating temperature).
Visually the car is shorter and more low-riding, as well as 70kg lighter than the 'fiorano'. As a combined effect of its lighter weight
And improved aerodynamics, the 'F12 Berlinetta' reduces fuel consumption by 30%, and produces relatively low carbon dioxide emissions, for a high-performance sports car, at 350g/km. its V12 engine is designed similarly to Ferrari’s F1 engines to ensure rapid acceleration
.
Fuel Consumption - 15 l/100 km
Emissions -350 g CO2/km
