    Hello to all of you.

    I'd like to share my first impressions on my F12 Berlinetta I received Yesterday.

    Having had different sport cars ( I had Gallardo, Huracan, Huracan Performante, 430, 458, 488, 991 Turbo S and 997 Turbo S) I was willing to try a 12 cylinders.
    My biggest concerns were the differences in weight and in the position of the engine.

    In order not to make a big mistake I wanted to enter the 12 cylinders world from a F12.

    I drove it for the first time yesterday (and it was raining) and wanted to share my feeling.

    Sound: it is incredible. One of the best among the cars I had even if it is too low inside (but this is a GT I must remember). I appreciated that, when cruising on the highway, you do not hear the noise of the engine and this is a plus to me.

    Handling: very good. You can feel the weight but the car is very easy to predict and it does what you ask it to do. I have not pushed too much but I already understood how it reacts.

    Engine: immense. It is a beast and it pushes like crazy in every condition. Really a great engine.

    Brakes. Probably the best of the Ferrari I had. They have a great feeling and great modulation. You can feel the weight of the car but this is normal.

    Now I fly to Sardinia but when I'll be back I'll start to use it and get back!
