Ferrari F12 from Geneva Auto Show 2012

Thanks for sharing. The car looks fantastic.

Is the engine bay in the first shot all carbon?

 

Interesting looking exhaust headers. What are the bolted on extensions at the front of the intake plenums?

-F

 

I could happily have that engine sitting in a glass case in my living room.

 

Put a pair of driving shoes on em and they look like legs!

 

Thanks for sharing

 

The bolted extensions on the intake covers are called "resonators" which apparently help maximize cylinder filling...don't really understand the science behind it, but would like to.

 

went to the show yesterday to see the f12.
gotta say.....i like it.

its not the most beautiful shape ever but it has a mean and purposeful look to it. those hood side vents will take some getting used to, but i guess they work. the rear end looks slightly unfinished, but it works too.

overall it looks much better in the flesh than in the pictures.

but i still wont be buying one. waaaaay too much money.

 

Anybody took more detailed photo of the trunk space?
I am especially interested to find out whether you can fit two golf bags in there.

Thanks.

 

I dunno if you have ever seen a 2 stroke quad.. I had a friend that used to race yamaha banshee's way back in the day. He built one of his race engines and had a "boost" bottle on the back of the intake which was just extra air for the engine to draw in as it got up higher in the rev range.

I could be way off base here but I think they may serve the same function. Extra air available as needed or like you said maximizing positive intake pressure of cold air.
