    Looks like all the journalists will be getting a red one; just like the 458 intro.
    However if one or two become 'unavailable' perhaps they will drag out the TdF Blu F12!!!

    You don't need to know Italian to see that the piece is filled with superlatives. :)

    Great post thank you...

    They seems to think that the car is so well balanced, it feels like an MR car. Awesome !

    yes

    "avvicina la velocità di percorrenza di una sportiva a motore centrale"

    it has almost the same cornering speed of a mid-rear engined car

    Yeah. I'd even settle for the skills of a decent 4-time Le Mans winner. :(

    I was just at the factory on July 5th and got to see two of these "beasts" rolling around within the gates. What an AMAZING sound even at idle or 20mph. Ahhhhhh.

    We were able to see a couple on the assembly line (2 stations from endpoint) and it took the group a while before we grudgingly moved.

    I dearly love my F430 but may have to start discussions F12 with wife. :)

    Great video. I love it when drivers have real fun.

    They do seem to enjoy the PR stuff more than Kimi ever did.

    My first thought was "someone get him a phone book to sit on".
