Ferrari presented today the special edition of the F12 Berlinetta, which is called F12 tdf (Tour de France), to pay tribute to the homonymous endurance race in which Ferrari excelled in the decades of 1950 and 1960.
According to Ferrari, the F12 tdf has significant mechanical and aerodynamic improvements over the F12 Berlinetta. It is equipped with a 6.3 liter V12 engine which produces 780 hp at 8,500 rpm and 705 Nm of torque at 6,750 rpm. The power passes to the rear wheels through a new F1 DCT automatic transmission which features a 6% shorter scale that offers 30% faster changes.
The F12 tdf is able to do the 0-100 km/h to 2.9 seconds, the 0-200 km/h to 7.9 seconds and it has a top speed of 340 km/hour, while at the track of Fiorano, it has managed to make a time of 1:21.
It stands on 20 inch rims, with front tires sized 275/35 and the rear ones measuring 315/35. In the field of aerodynamics, the F12 tdf has almost 87% better aerodynamics than the F12 Berlinetta. At 200 km/h, it generates a downforce of 230 kg, 107 kg more than the F12. It has a new rear diffuser, a new spoiler which is 60 mm longer and 30 mm higher than that of the F12, new bumpers, air intakes on the fenders and a new design for the trunk.
The F12 tdf weighs 110 kilos less than the F12, thanks to extensive use of carbon and a radical redesign of the body, interior, engine and transmission. Its brakes derive from the LaFerrari, while its interior features decorative carbon, Alcantara and aluminum pedals.
