Share this post:
The Ferrari F12 is a front-engine V12 grand tourer, sold as the “F12berlinetta” from 2012 to 2017. Powered by a naturally aspirated 6.3L V12 producing 730 horsepower, it became one of Ferrari’s most powerful non-hybrid road cars of its era.
As the successor to the Ferrari 599 GTB, the F12 combined extreme performance with long-distance comfort and served as Ferrari’s flagship front-engine model before the 812 Superfast.

| Engine | 6.3L Naturally Aspirated V12 |
| Horsepower | 730 hp |
| Torque | 509 lb-ft |

| Top Speed | 211+ mph |
The Ferrari F12berlinetta accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 3.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of over 211 mph, making it one of the fastest front-engine V12 Ferrari models ever produced.
The Ferrari F12berlinetta blends grand touring comfort with a driver-focused cockpit inspired by Ferrari Formula 1 technology. Styled by Ferrari design chief Flavio Manzoni in collaboration with Pininfarina, it also marked the end of a historic design era for Ferrari road cars.
The F12berlinetta combined grand touring proportions with advanced aerodynamic engineering, creating one of Ferrari’s most recognizable modern V12 designs.
Ferrari never released an official final production total, but the F12berlinetta is widely estimated at around 5,000 units produced from 2012 to 2017. That makes it exclusive enough to remain special, while still more attainable than limited-run Ferrari models.
| F12 Variant | Production |
|---|---|
| Ferrari F12tdf | 799 units |
| Ferrari F12 TRS | 2 units |
| 70th Anniversary Edition | 70 units |
| Ferrari F60 America | 10 units |
| Coachbuilt specials | Extremely low production numbers |
The standard F12berlinetta is uncommon on the road, while special editions are significantly rarer and often command major premiums.
F12berlinetta values have stabilized rather than depreciated, and the gap between an average car and an exceptional one now exceeds the gap between model years.

Every F12berlinetta on the market is now out of its original factory maintenance coverage, so condition and paperwork separate a good car from an expensive one. These are the six items our technicians check first.
Ferrari intervals are time-based, not mileage-based — roughly every 12 months or 12,500 miles, whichever comes first. A low-mileage car that sat unserviced for three years is a bigger risk than a documented 20,000-mile example. See what Ferrari maintenance actually costs.
The original seven-year Genuine Maintenance program has expired on every F12 built. Confirm whether the car carries active extended coverage and whether it still qualifies for enrollment.
Carbon-ceramic discs were standard on the F12 and are measured by wear percentage on Ferrari diagnostics. A set near replacement threshold is a real cost at purchase. [Insert your current disc replacement figure.]
The seven-speed dual-clutch records clutch wear that can be read directly during inspection. Ask for the percentage rather than an assurance that it “shifts fine.”
Carbon fiber packages, Daytona seats, and rare factory colors carry real resale premiums. Match the car to its build sheet, since specification strongly predicts how an F12 holds value over time.
Paint depth readings across every panel reveal repair work a clean history report may miss. Verify there is no structural repair before the conversation reaches price.

The Ferrari F12 TRS is the rarest car built on the F12berlinetta platform, commissioned through Ferrari’s Special Projects program in 2014. Only two examples exist, with values estimated between $4.2 million and $4.5 million. The design pays heavy homage to the iconic 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa.
Ferrari removed the roof entirely to create a low, buttressed speedster body, added a transparent bonnet window that exposes the red-crackle cylinder heads of the V12, and stripped the cabin of non-essential audio and climate controls.
Production Note: While automotive blogs initially reported a third car, Ferrari only built two physical chassis. The second car left the factory in black but was later sent back to Maranello and entirely rebuilt into a Liquid Silver variant, causing the initial media confusion
The Ferrari F12tdf is the lighter, faster, and more aggressive evolution of the F12berlinetta.
Created as a tribute to Ferrari’s Tour de France racing history, it shed 220 pounds and introduced “Virtual Short Wheelbase” — a rear-wheel steering system that coordinates with the front wheels for sharper agility, paired with a wider rear diffuser and larger rear spoiler that increased downforce by 87%.
| Variant | Horsepower | 0–60 mph |
|---|---|---|
| F12berlinetta | 730 hp | 3.1 sec |
| F12tdf | 769 hp | 2.9 sec |
799 built worldwide
The F12tdf rarely reaches the open market, and cars that do are usually placed privately. Our specialists track tdf availability nationwide and can register your interest ahead of a listing.
