Looking for F1 acceleration in your drive car? If so, the Ferrari F12tdf is the car for you with a zero to 100 km/h in the unbelievable time of 2.9 seconds.
Unfortunately there is no use in camping outside the Ferrari showrooms as you have to be invited to buy, not the other way around. What a marketing ploy is that!
This strictly limited variant takes the standard F12 Berlinetta as its starting point but then adds lessons learned from the company’s XX development program, which prepares cars for serious circuit work. Those are cars that Ferrari keeps and you have to let them know you want to come down and have a drive in your own very expensive car!
