F12 Berlinetta at Pebble Beach

Done in Rosso Berlinetta. As others have noted, it is very handsome in the flesh.

Thanks for posting. It's a terrific looking car. All they need now is a convertible top version so it can be the V12 supercar version of the California.

Also, seeing how minimalist the exhibit was, I know now why Ferrari only needed a handful of workers Saturday night to get their exhibit up.

This car reminds me very much of this (in a good way).

Yes, styling the front to add the brake inlets does add a shark-like impression to the front, very different than the FF that was close by.

 

I'm sure the car and color is beautiful in the flesh but am sick of seeing this spec and the matte aluminum as well.

would be nice to see other color and option spectrums.

 

I don't think they have many display cars yet. Then again, they could pull a Carroll Shelby and repaint the same car over and over for the press.

 

The car looks great in person, one thing that I think is great is that it is closer in size to a 550/575 than a 599. It is nice to see the car get a bit smaller.

 

Its relevant that no photos were taken of the back ...

Pete, the back actually looks pretty good in person, has some Alfa 8C

 

You can say that again! It still has great road presence in it's new form.

Note that this does not look like a US spec car. No side markers. Possibly flown over for the show.

There is no 'bad' way to think of that fine fellow.

 

Thanks for that....very nice!

 

Yes, it´s 100% certain a European version and no US specs car.

 

Lars are you going to Octoberfest this fall or Maranello? We need pics of US spec F12 production models out on the road...

How good does that car look in those moments as they slide back the cover! Yet another home run from Ferrari.

 

Ha, to both, of course!

Visiting Oktoberfest is very easy for me, as my office is just a three-minute walk from where the party is. So I can go there in my lunch break and after work daily if I´d like to.

I´ll probably visit Maranello in October, as I´d like to combine it with the Auto Moto d´Epoca car show in Padova. However, probably there will be no US-model F12´s being test driven yet, as in my experience production usually starts mainly with European LHD models, with the US models following a few months later.

One of my local dealers told me that they expect their F12 demo car to arrive mid-September. The brochures arrived already last week, which is very quick for Ferrari (over the last many years they usually first arrived several months after deliveries of the actual cars had already started).

 

Hello,

I have to ask. At what point are wheel sizes too big? "22 s used to pimp out old Caddilacs. Now they'er the benchmark for performance cars?



Joe

 

Could you please specify which dealer expects the F12 demo car to arrive in September, presumably Saggio will get it first?!? I still had no opportunity to see the car:-(

Regards from Munich

 

Thanks Lars! Oktoberfest sounds very convenient...
Maybe an F70 lurking around Maranello if no USA F12 examples are being built when you visit. I agree very surprising that the F12 brochure arrived so quickly and demo cars. Demo cars are a surprise for a car that often sells itself on reputation alone for repeat buyers.
CH

 

Yes indeed, it was Saggio staff that told me they expect their demo car to arrive in September - I´m much looking forward to seeing it!

 

Well, there will hardly be any visual difference between Euro and USA specs (just the sidemarkers), so I think the Euro cars should be just as interesting, hopefully in lots of colours not yet seen on other pics!

 

Welcome to the club!!!! My office is approx. 5 minutes till the first tent.

 

Saw it in person, and definitely isn't bad looking. But then Later I see a random 599GTO on the grounds and well, that was all she wrote.

Sorry, guess I'm the odd one out.
