Me and Phil were just talking about what Ferraris new Fxx Car was, looking at pictures of the F40 and F50.

But heres the F12, what are your thoughts on it :)

Like the 599 GTB Fiorano which it replaces, the F12's undoubted USP is that thumping great V12. A reworked version of the unit that first appeared in the FF, it shares the same 6262cc capacity and 65 degree configuration, but its power output is increased by approximately 80bhp to just over 730bhp (740CV), and it produces 509 torques. In other words, the F12 is the most powerful road-going Ferrari ever. Factor in a dry weight of 1525kg and you can imagine what sort of performance this thing delivers: 0-62mph in 3.1 seconds, 0-124mph in 8.5, and a top speed of 211mph. So, quite fast, then. Fast enough, in fact, to blitz Ferrari's Fiorano test track in 1min 23 seconds, a time that outpoints even the Enzo supercar to make this the quickest Ferrari road car to lap the famous circuit.

Wow! Ferrari just got right on this one. Really a great follow-up to 599. I've heard this is the fastest street car the business has ever made, and that it will be introduced in Geneva. The car certainly appeals the inner 10-year-old inside just about every gearhead.

Ferrari F12 will be the fastest road car from Maranello yet

It does look very nice!

Looking back say over the past 15 years, I'd say only the following has ever appealed to me:

F355 Berlinetta
Enzo
599 GTB
and now the F12

I might be forced to admit some of the F430's looked ok, but only the limited specials in certain colours.

The 599 is probably my favourite modern Ferrari so the new one is going to have to be very good to be a worthy successor.
