Ferrari F12 berlinetta - the new flagship of the brand - the most powerful and the fastest Ferrari of those that do can drive on public roads. For the first time the car was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show 2012. It was also announced that the car will change the model 599 GTB Fiorano. The new machine has a number of smaller dimensions than its predecessor - is shorter by 47 mm (4618 mm) by 20 mm (1942 mm) and squat by 63 mm (1273 mm). The widespread use of aluminum and some special alloys in the body structure to allow Ferrari F12 berlinetta also lighter by 70 kg - up to 1525 kg. Rigidity while conversely increased by 20%.
Design Ferrari F12 berlinetta developed his own style of Ferrari Centre in collaboration design company Pininfarina. Many of the design elements of F12 is somehow tested on other models of Ferrari. In particular, grille, small headlights, wings outstretched to LED running lights are found on all the latest car brand, and above all on Ferrari FF and, in part, on the 458 Italia. Tail lights - traditionally round, but also, in line with current trends, drawn from the LEDs.
Exterior Ferrari F12 berlinetta sporty, but without exaggeration and excessive aggression inherent in modern sports. Body - the classic two-door coupe, which emphasizes sportiness elongated hood forward and developed podshtampovki on the wings and doors. Podshtampovki, however, carry and aerodynamic load, providing even and reducing lift. In general, it is clear that the design is quite conservative.
Salon Ferrari F12 berlinetta made in the same style - sporty, but no frills. By and large this is a luxury car interior with sporty features. Interior design could not do without the elements for a long time became a business card Ferrari. Central among devices is the tachometer, where the lowest position - at six o'clock on the dial, set aside to zero. At the idle engine tachometer needle is directed vertically downward. By the way, light tachometer looks impressive usual black - buyers can choose. All instruments crammed into deep wells, plastic and raised quite high, relative to the point of view of the driver. Steering wheel is lowered, and the lower part of it - straight, not pie. This can also be considered a tribute to the design of racing cars.
Traditionally, in the center of the front panel - three air nozzles. Just as traditionally, many buttons, switches, levers, designed so that it appears the second time, implantation into the interior compartment of the prestigious car. By design - should remind owners attachments racing car prototype, built-in interior indiscriminately.
By the way, because the shift paddles on the Ferrari is not provided, many switch controls displayed on the steering wheel. Without it, we could have done, but intense various buttons and switches steering wheel allows the driver to feel the wheel of a sports car.
Almost curved console between the seats, which are three buttons - the first, closest to the driver - engine start, then - back up, and the farthest - Enable automatic transmissions. The location of this button tells the driver that he is not behind the wheel of the car, where the transfer switch automatically. Manual transmission can be changed using the shift paddles, the petals. Transfer number will be displayed on a small screen on the face of the tachometer. You can start the engine and the red button located on the steering wheel, you can feel like driving a racing car.
Engine for the Ferrari F12 berlinetta offers only one - petrol atmosfernik V12 with the collapse of the cylinders 65 degrees, the volume of 6.3 liters and 740 hp. Torque - 690 Nm. The engine is paired with a seven-speed robotic gearbox with two clutches. F12 engine is at the front and the transmission - at the rear. This arrangement provides a decent vehicle weight distribution on axes - 46% on the front axle and 54% on the rear. Propulsion system allows the car to accelerate to 340 km / h With up to 100 km / h F12 accelerates in 3.1 seconds, and up to 200 km / h - 8.5 seconds. The machine is very cost effective - the most lightweight design, powerful engine and perfect aerodynamics helped to reduce fuel consumption by about 30% compared with the 599 GTB Fiorano.
In addition, as with all modern cars Ferrari, on the F12 Berlinetta installed HELE (High Emotion Low Emissions). The package includes, on the one hand, the equipment is automatically controlled by the parameter of the power plant and energy users on the machine, and the other system "start-stop", the ability to start the engine stopped for 230 milliseconds. To start with a traffic light, for example, just press the gas pedal and the engine re-starting work without jerking. Application HELE led to not only reduce emissions, but also a serious fuel economy - for 100 km F12 consumes 15 liters of petrol. The fuel tank on the F12 Berlinetta - 92 liters, so the car can go long. This "Gran Turismo."
