Forum Find Friday: Someone Buy This Ferrari F12
With an original sticker price of almost $400,000 and tasteful upgrades, this is one pre-owned Ferrari F12 we’d buy in an instant.
The Ferrari F12berlinetta is just about everything you need from an Italian supercar. The rear-wheel-drive, two-seat exotic was launched in 2013 to widespread acclaim. Which isn’t surprising. The F12 had a glorious V12 slotted between the front fenders that poured out a ludicrous 730 horsepower at a shrieking 8250-rpm. In typical Ferrari fashion the F12’s astounding performance figures were packaged in bodywork that was jaw-droppingly gorgeous. Of course the F12 had a price to match its exclusivity. When it came out back in 2013 it had a sticker price that started around $330,000. No one ever said perfection was cheap.
6 Speed Online forum user Homeslice is selling his 2015 Ferrari F12berlinetta. No telling what the motivation is behind parting with such a piece of art, but it’s for sale nonetheless. The original sticker on this stunner was $389,406. Homeslice is asking $260,000 for the Ferrari. Anyway you, uh, slice it, that’s a steep discount over the original selling price. And it’s not just any F12 either. The exterior of the Ferrari has been tastefully modified with a Novitec rear diffuser, a Novitec front lip kit and Novitec exhaust tips. There is also a carbon fiber rear deck lid. The stock wheels were swapped for a nice looking set of ADV1 alloys that measure 20 x 9.5-inches at the front and 21×12.5-inches out back. The wheels are wrapped in sticky Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.
The black exterior of the Ferrari F12 has been coated entirely in Xpel Ultimate clear bra to ensure that the paint remains as perfect as the day it rolled out of Maranello, Italy. Yellow brake calipers calipers complement that back paint perfectly. Though there are no photos of the interior, from the description it sounds as nice as the outside. The black leather interior features yellow stitching that mirrors the yellow touches on the exterior. There are also a handful of carbon fiber parts. The driver zone, central bridge, cup holders and dashboard inserts are all made of the lightweight stuff. The Ferrari also has the distinctive Daytona-style seats, which have classic looking inserts and are modeled after the seats used in the classic Ferrari Daytona coupe from the 1970s.
The Ferrari is showing a mere 5400 miles on the odometer. As an added bonus the car comes with complimentary service from Ferrari until 2022. As forum member Riz1 puts it “when I win the lottery, I’m buying this car.” That’s a sentiment that we can definitely agree with.
