I'm not sure there's anything to have information on. The Aperta version of the F12 is the F60 America. That's it.
Very interesting Greg... Some of us speculated this could be in the cards.... I look forward to what they come up with!
It would be and its totally logical except for the F60's presence which is the reason I am constantly given by those that should know.
An hybrid is still a Natural aspirated engine (When there are no turbos or supercharger like on the P1). The good expression would be "the last 100% Reciprocating engine "
Always found that puzzling as what drives the F60 value is its uniquely rare build quantity and not its open top or sheet metal. They would not compete IMHO.
I hear you but if you had paid $3m for an F60, there can be little doubt it would be less valuable or sought after were there a regular Aperta surely? Maybe in return for handing over SP money, they insisted or were given assurance by Ferrari there would be nothing similar as a production car?
Yes, perhaps. The topless F12 has been discussed since the model replaced the 599. Seems odd that an Aperta would be off limits because of just 10 cars but promises could have been made. Ferrari loses here because much more could be gained with a few hundred F12 tdf (or F12m) Apertas. Perhaps they are guaranteed one for buying in at the SP price? Then they would have both of the most special editions. Values aside though, I would much rather have an F12 tdf than an F60 but perhaps that's just me.
Maybe they just ran out of time with an F12 aperta? If they did LaFerrari aperta in only 5 colours and that was the 70th than maybe the f12 aperta was too far down the priority list to justify production.
That is a reasonable speculation, but I don't buy it. If they wanted to, I think they could build it. To my mind, in the modern era, the open V12s have been limited and special. I think this is the model with which Ferrari does not want to trifle.
