2013 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta is clearly supposed to be released by the company in order to compete with another great super car maker Lamborghini, which has first introduced their 700-horsepower Aventador that has incredible acceleration to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds. Ferrari knew that their current GTB could not match the raging bull Aventador with 3.7 seconds acceleration to 60 mph, so the plan to make a comparable opponent to the Lambo but still in Ferrari’s typical of luxury was started and resulted in 2013 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta.
Exterior
2013 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta indeed looks awesome, proving by 2012 Auto Bild Design Award Winner. On the front part, you will se the solid combination of style and aggression by the lower lip and lower grille that create an evil’s grin as if it challenged you to jump on the cockpit and ride it.
