To bring the front engine V-12 GT Ferraris up to date, meet the Ferrari F12. Replacing the 599 GTB in 2012, the F12 had a slight reduction in wheelbase and who would be surprised to see a healthy increase in power? The F12's 6.3 liter V-12 made 730 hp at 8250 rpm and 509 ft-lbs of torque at 6000 rpm. Curb weight was down substantially -- from the 599 GTB's 3,955 pounds to 3,595 pounds. No manual transmission was offered. I do not have production numbers for the F12.

Late in the production run, an F12TDF (for Tour de France) model was offered with 769 hp at 8500 rpm. Just 799 cars were built.

In 2017, the F12 was replaced by the 812 Superfast on a similar chassis. The 812SF featured a slight displacement bump to 6.5 liters with -- you guessed it -- more power: 789 hp at 8500 rpm.

The 812 Superfast was produced through 2022. I do not know how many were built. It also appears to me that Ferrari has stopped offering a front engine V-12 GT car; the only V-12 in the lineup is the Purosangue FUV with its 6.5 V-12. I would not be surprised to see Ferrari offer a V-8 version of the Purosangue in the future.

This brings my survey of Ferrari up to date. There are a few special models that I have not addressed yet, so I am not completely done.
