    Think people who commit now will be able to get, but ya never really know for sure. The story seems to be taking hold that this will definitely be the last NAV12-only before more general deployment of hybrid going forward, which in itself is definitely a consideration (at least for me). Another thing is some of the key tdf tech. Living with the GT3RS every day has opened my eyes to the greatness of 4WS and the F12 would seem to be able to benefit from it even more than the 911. Weight savings would be nice too although given the power on tap that's just icing on the cake.

    Not everything on the Internet is real guys... These shapes in these pics aren't supported by what we have seen in camo.

    I have to say that I suspect that will be down to the driver. You clearly really need to be talented and with cojones to extract the maximum from the tdf. Put both cars in the same hands, and remember the 120kg difference, and there will be a difference. Ferrrai are not idiots.

    Am sure it is old news but mine is confirmed and its a group thing, no factory tour but tech presentation and show round. At factory. Basically half a day.

    Hope helpful.

    After you go to the factory maybe the tech presentation would confirm for you if the mechanical lifters were exclusive to the tdF motor and not something for the M edition to? They help create that unique tdF motor sound...

    I am told very recently yet again, by very high sources, that this will certainly not happen. F60 and a number of SP's occupy that space and they will not have competition.

    I do wonder why, whatever follows the F12 in 2021, could they not do a coupe and Spider like the 488 range as that way lies more volume and greater profits as well as opening the road to LE variants of each, again a la 488.

    Why there is no production open top V12 in the range is impossible to understand. Seems so logical.

    Family can be boring sometimes. This forum NEVER

    550 had the Barchetta.... 575 (def. an interim update!) had the Superamerica... the 599 had the SA Aperta... It seems illogical that FCA would leave that much money on the table, but then again I was convinced there would be an "F8" after the F12 and the TDF with the passo corto virtuale system was obviously going to be named the F12 SWB... (Would love to see an official use of the name Daytona, but we shall see....). The right people seem to be saying that an F12 Aperta is not happening, but I think there is going to be some time before the F12M's are on the street..... oh yeah merry Christmas / happy Hanukkah

    The F12 Aperta already happened and is done. It's called the F60 America. They made ten. Done.

    Yes, but they are all limited run production cars with some weird tops, why not a F____n' standart spider with a classic softop and a regular production along the coupe...
