    No, speedo values. My performance box still sits in my race car that I have not seen for 8 months now :-(

    Have seen a verified 345kph GPS in a frensh magazine test. There are pics of the tacho reading 359kph, which I asume comes close to 345 GPS.
    The F speedos dont seem to be that far of like Porsche speedos.

    Yep...I already booked my detailer for when the car arrives...the paint on my 458 was a pure embarrassment!! I still can't believe how poor the quality is from such a storied brand.

    Try to have the dealer detailer skipped. Nothing good on those.

    My paint quality is very good. there is only like 1 or 2 µ difference in thickness of the paint over the whole car. Very impressive.

    Ferrari speedometers were notoriously inaccurate in the '70s, '80s, and '90s - I imagine they're a bit better these days.

    Your F12 is stunning - congratulations! Can you share with us the serial number?

    They are very accurate nowadays. At an indicated 340 kph, the 458 is actually doing 330.

    Experienced amazing months with the F12.
    After difficult start at F1 track Hockenheimring due to a defect of the ABS sensor the car keeps going strong ever since :)

    Went to the Nuerburgring Nordschleife with a friend and did 3 laps in public traffic. Wow. Then off to Spa Franchorchamps for a whole track day. This was heaven on earth.

    Did an F12-only track day by Ferrari on the Nordschleife a couple of Weeks later. Like 40 F12 on the track, with no other cars. Wow.

    Met Sebastian Vettel with a couple of other Ferraristi and had a chat with him. Cool guy.

    Did 351kph on the Autobahn with my brother as passenger. Was funny. Car is absolutely stable.

    2 days ago was on the Nordschleife again. Amazing weather and soft traffic. I humiliated about everything I came across. A couple of McLaren, GT3 RSs, Ruf Turbo R, Nissan GT-R, Race e46 GT3, and so on. Only a very strong 964 turbo with a decent driver pushed hard, so I let him pass because I did not want to be pushed off the track. He made like a couple of seconds on me, though I would have been faster on the straights, he was way faster in the tight corners.

    In the end it is all about the driver. But I think the F12 allows normal intermediate hobby drivers to be fast and safe. Only had one drift exiting Ex-Muehle corner in Race mode. Absolutely neutral and easy to handle but so much fun nevertheless.

    Car is completely in the air with all 4 wheels at 3 points of the track. It lands on all 4 wheels and makes me feel very comfortable.

    The long uphill part after Bergwerk is mind blowing. I never had to lift with my other slower race cars. With the F12 I started to not only lift but also did break in the beginning. So funny. Endless ooomph.

    There are 3 speed limits of 250kph and 200kph on the Nordschleife since a race car went airborne and killed one spectator behind the FIA fence.
    Nevertheless I went WOT for like the first 90% of the long straight Doettinger Hoehe. Shifted into 7th and speedo showed 310kph (194mph) ... so I let the throttle go a bit. Car still pulled strong at this speed though it is going uphill quite a bit.

    More later...
