F12 Berlinetta - The Mutant Horse!

Here is the 'mutant' looking at you!  

I mean it, you can only smell its smoke.  

Nothing special about the interior, except for the passenger 'brake' pedal ;-)  

I hate Ferrari’s V12 ever since it became a front engine sissy car more than a decade ago. Now, this ‘mutant horse’ emerges! At 6.3L, 730bhp, 0-60mph at three seconds and a top speed of 210mph, it is Ferrari's most powerful road production model yet! F12 Berlinetta stands for Front engine, 12 cylinder and Sporty coupe in Italian. It boasts two unique features which may be the first in its class. The first is ‘Aero Bridge’, a unique tunnel-like streamline design which maximises the amount of down force generated by the bonnet. The second is ‘Active Brake Cooling’. In this feature, the front brakes are cooled by a system that opens the flaps on the basis of operating temperatures. This ensures that drag is reduced when heavy use is not being made of the brakes. This is power and beauty to behold! While the horse prances high, I love Ferrari V12 once again!
