Ferrari F12berlinetta

Interiors of the Berlinetta are designed in such a way so as to reduce the volume of the cabin without altering the comfort. The cabin provides a sporty feel with maximum comfort. Ergonomically arranged controls on the dash unit provides an enhanced Human Machine interface which allows the driver to reach the control without leaving the steering wheel. The information center displays all the basic information required by the driver. An optional display unit is also provided which keeps the passenger active over the entire ride. The central bridge accommodates F1 gear box and a couple of hazard warning light buttons. The innovative new air vents to the dashboard are inspired from aeronautic planes. They are compact and made from carbon-fibre and alloy. A special set of algorithm detects the car's status on the basis of various dynamic parameters. It will then inform the driver to act accordingly.

Interior Comfort:

The central bridge of the F12 accommodates Alcantara-lined storage space and a cup-holder. Longitudinally adjustable armrest which is hinged at the side in order to access the storage compartment below also accommodates a conventional USB port. The TFT screen on the dashboard displays infotainment information. Right hand side pod features satellite navigation, stereo with audio streaming via. Bluetooth. It also enables smart phones to connect to the Internet to listen web radio, podcasts and download Apps. Clustering of all the controls on the steering wheel links you to the world of racing. Paddles equipped near the steering makes driving more pleasurable and brisk.

Interior Measurements:

In order to reduce the cabin volume, the brand has altered the interior, still no compromise is made with the comfort of the vehicle. The seat can accommodate an individual up to 1.95 m. Though it facilitates a boot space of 320 litres, but the luggage space could be increased up to 500 litres by lowering the rear bench panel, thus making Berlinetta ideal for long travels.

Stereo and Accessories:

F12 comes with JBL Professional Premium Hi-Fi Sound System that transforms the whole car in to a concert hall. The sound system of the Berlinetta is the true dedication and refinement of acoustic engineers. The dash board of the F12 is engraved with couple of infotainment gadgets. Right hand satellite pod has the controls for TFT screen which displays entertainment as well as information to the driver. It also accommodates satellite navigation, stereo with audio streaming via Bluetooth. The sound system also features voice activated track, artist, album and song title selection. It also comes with smartphone connect feature that connects to the Internet in order to listen to web radio, Podcasts and download apps.

The exterior of the Berlinetta is the amalgamation of technology and aesthetics. Wide open grille in the front enables the F12 to transfer adequate amount of air to the engine bay. The sculpted hood of the Grand Tourer accommodates an innovative air flow system. Air channels are provided on the either side of bonnet, that starts from the bulged portion of hood and ends up between the A-pillar and wheel arches. Air striking on the bonnet, funnels through the channel and passes to the wings on the sides, due to which a down force acts on the body which eventually increases traction. For rapid cooling of brakes, electronically controlled vanes are provided in the bumpers that open when the brakes reach high temperatures and at the same time shuts down in order to cut out the drag force. The rear of the F12 has a Kamm tail silhouette that unifies the rear fence and the diffuser. T-shape profile at the rear end, accommodates two full LED circular tail lights and the F1 inspired fog lamps.

Exterior Measurements:

With a L X W X H dimension of 4618mm X 1942mm X 1273mm, it has the perfect aerodynamic trait that a sports car should have. The rear overhang is reduced by 82 mm and front one is increased by 65 mm. Front track of 1665 mm and rear track of 1618 mm making it stable enough to encounter sharp turns. The wheelbase of the F12 is set at a decent figure of 2720 mm.

Wheels:

The 20 inch alloys of the Ferrari F12 are fitted with Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires with a tyre specification of 255/35 ZR20 at the front and 315/35 ZR20 at the rear that does a fine job in transferring the power of the V12 on the road.

The multi-spark technology (which implements three successive spark of different intensities and duration) in the V12 reduces the fuel consumption by 30% as compared to that of Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. HELE start-stop technology equipped in the Berlinetta allows it to achieve a combined mileage of 6.6 km/l.

The naturally aspirated 6262 cc engine of the Ferrari F12 is from the Ferrari F140 engine family. This 65º V12 power house churns out a maximum power of 730 hp at 8250 rpm. The multi-spark technology in the engine initiate three sparks of different intensities on different duration owing to which it delivers a maximum torque of 690 Nm at 6000 rpm. Similar to all other Ferrari, the F12 houses a 7-speed dual clutch automated semi automatic gear box, which is operated by paddle shifters.

Power:

Naturally aspirated 6262 cc power house of the Berlinetta allows it to churn a maximum power of 730 hp at 8250 rpm making it boost a maximum torque of 690 Nm at 6000 rpm.

Acceleration and Pickup:

The official track record of F12 in reaching the 100 km/h mark is 3.1 seconds and the 200 km/h mark is just 8.5 seconds. With a maximum speed of 340 km/h, the Berlinetta is recognized as having the fastest acceleration than any other road legal Ferrari.

The brakes are equipped with carbon-ceramic braking system (CCM3) with a blend of new material mix for the rear pads. Active Brake Cooling system at the front improves the elimination of brake fade thus delivering a stopping distance of just 131 m from 200 km/h. It uses a traditional Double Wishbone suspension at the front and Multi-Link at the rear. The new SCM-E Magnetorheological dampers offer an adaptive suspension system which is ECU controlled. This results in precise bump controls and improves ride comfort.

Safety and Security:

The activation of CT, ESC and ABS makes driving more safe and comfortable. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) equipped in the vehicle provides better traction to the vehicle by providing precise amount of power to all four wheels. High Performance AntiLock Braking System/Electronic BrakeForce Distribution transfers equal amount of brake force to all 4 wheels. The third generation electronic differential allows equal amount of power to be transmitted to each wheel while turning. F1 Traction control equipped in the car provides adequate traction by managing all wheels separately thus reducing the risk of slippage. The adaptive Magnetorheological suspension control alters the dampers through the ECU thus providing excellent ride comfort. The crash resistant body which is resistant to lateral pole impact and roof roll-over, enables maximum safety against crash.
