Yes Doom,i put it up for our American friendsAndy you know that's v max and the "race " actually continues after the bend right down the longer straight ? It about top speed on the bruntingthorpe main straight primarily .
Still the 12 did fantastically well.
Lets have a video then please,instead of the appaling effort by autocarthe 12c owner is my friend I taught him all he knows....we have burn planned tomorrow V my 991ttS
Which 12?Still the 12 did fantastically well.
Did you get a chance to weigh the F12, yet, fully fueled up? Still curious to know if all the U.S. bound cars are going to weigh similar to Motor Trend.I have both vehicles. They feel equally fast on the straight line, perhaps the 12c by a hair. The 12c corners much flatter and I feel more confident driving it at high speed mainly because of the lack of roll, the steering and the forward driver's position. Then again I have only had the F12 for a couple of days.
That said, I think the F12 is the ultimate GT car. Lots of power, lots of grip, lots of storage, and very refined and well built. An everyday supercar. If only could have one car, this probably would be it.
No I haven't weighed it. I have the heavier all electric seats, more leather, etc and no carbon bits other than the LED steering wheel, so I suspect I would be on the portly end.Did you get a chance to weigh the F12, yet, fully fueled up?

K, thanks.No I haven't weighed it. I have the heavier all electric seats, more leather, etc and no carbon bits other than the LED steering wheel, so I suspect I would be on the portly end.
No it doesntdoes the sun ever shine in the UK?
I've just had my F12 on my scales. It's optioned out for street use: front lifter, upgraded stereo, full electric seats, alcantara interior etc. With 5 gals of fuel in the tank, it weighed 3906 lbs (picture attached). That puts it at 3876 lbs curb weight w/o fuel.No I haven't weighed it.

It's a great vid/race. I can't tell if the F12 took off faster, or if the F12 driver got the jump on the start? But I'm amazed that after the jump that the 12C stayed with the F12. I'm not at all surprised that the 12C took the turn and went away. Not sure if the F12 edged out in the end as much as the 12C let off on the gas towards the end.looks like the F12 edges out the 12C at the end of the run but overshoots. good race and thanks for the vid.
That's interesting thanks.I've just had my F12 on my scales. It's optioned out for street use: front lifter, upgraded stereo, full electric seats, alcantara interior etc. With 5 gals of fuel in the tank, it weighed 3906 lbs (picture attached). That puts it at 3876 lbs curb weight w/o fuel.
Ferrari notes in their manual that most F12s with popular options will weigh 3850 lbs curb weight, which sounds spot on for a more normally-configured car with no fuel in the tank. They also list 3594 lbs curb weight with all lightweight options, which thus means that all those street goodies weigh 256 lbs (!). It would be interesting if we can find someone with no stereo upgrade, manual racing seats, no lifter, and the sport wheels, to get a comparison weighing.
