Ferrari will debut the F12berlinetta at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed from July 11-14.
The company will also show a bespoke FF, a ‘Tailor-Made’ 458 Spider and Eric Clapton’s SP12 EC, produced by Ferrari’s Special Projects division.
The front-engined F12berlinetta is the newest generation in Ferrari’s lineage of 12-cylinder sports cars. Aerodynamic efficiency was a top priority in the styling and development of the F12berlinetta, which features increased downforce and reduced drag figures.
Its 6.2-litre direct-injected V12 produces a maximum output of 740hp and recently won the title of ‘Best Performance Engine’ in the International Engine of the Year Awards.
While the car the most powerful road-going Ferrari ever produced, it delivers fuel consumption and emissions levels that are 30 per cent lower than that of the previous generation. Mated to Ferrari’s 7-speed dual-clutch F1 transmission, 0-60mph is reached in just 3.1 seconds and a top speed of over 211mph.
Ferrari will also be represented by the Scuderia Ferrari team, who will be demonstrating their 2010 Formula 1 car throughout the weekend, driven by Scuderia Ferrari driver, Marc Gene. The F10 chassis, no.285, was piloted by Fernando Alonso to four victories in 2010, including an Italian Grand Prix victory at Monza.
