The F12 is a front-mid-engine car which means that the engine block sits behind the front axle instead of sitting over it which results in better weight distribution for better handling dynamics. The 6.3L V12 generates 731 horsepower at 8,250 rpm along with 508 foot pounds of torque at 6,000 rpm through a seven speed dual clutch transmission that is lightning fast.

The Cabin is full of premium materials, you can choose between Alcantara, perforated Leather of your choice or whatever you want with the tailor made program. The dash is full of Formula 1 inspired switchgear especially the flat-bottom steering wheel that has most of the controls you need on it.

The long, low body of the F12 Berlinetta is covered in dramatic, swooping lines.-The Car Connection
The Long hood and the short deck design language suits the thrilling nature of the F12. The swooping lines seem as if wind itself shaped the Berlinetta. From the outside the F12 looks gorgeous and elegant which suits its beastly character.

The long and wide stance of the F12 helps to give it aggression which most cars in this category lacks. Being a GT car the F12 is still light at 3,594 pounds of curb weight.
Some of the safety features are-
2016 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta vs. 2016 Aston Martin Vanquish
The Vanquish is the flagship from the Aston Martin also has a naturally aspirated 5.9L V12 that puts out 568 horsepower which is quite a lot but compared to the F12 seems less. Both the coupes look gorgeous and one would find it difficult to choose one over the other.
To decide which car is better is a tough job, if you are looking for something more affordable, the Aston is a great choice but it lacks the poise, power and razor-sharp handling of the F12 along with the prancing horse badge.
2016 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta vs. 2016 Lamborghini Aventador
When compared to the Aventador the F12 seems tamed, the Aventador is an all-out supercar with a 6.5L V12 that makes 700 horsepower through a single clutch transmission whereas the F12 has a dual-clutch transmission which feel decades ahead of the Lamborghini's transmission.
The Aventador will cost you over $400,000 and it is one of the craziest car that you can currently buy. Both the F12 and the Aventador will make you grin every time you rev the engine but the Ferrari feels more modern and sophisticated in comparison while the Aventador feels like an old school supercar.
The Ferrari F12 Berlinetta is full of performance and poise, it has razor sharp handling with precise steering input along with gut churning acceleration. The crown jewel is the V12 engine which offers exhilarating driving experience.
Every manufacturer seems to be moving towards turbochargers for power and efficiency Ferrari seems to be chasing after purity and enjoyable driving experience which is the reason why Ferrari is at the top of the food chain of supercar manufacturers. Overall, the F12 is a masterpiece from Maranello that is surely going to wake you up early every morning just to admire it.
