Ferrari F12 Berlinetta

Only 67 cars in this catalogue share the same V12 and RWD pairing as the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, placing it in a very specific corner of a 600-car collection. That distinction becomes clearer when the F12 is viewed against the full catalogue: its 730 bhp places it 78th for power, its 2.9 second 0-100 km/h time places it 83rd, and its 340 km/h top speed ranks 67th. It is not simply a fast car within its own category, it is a car positioned deep into the upper reaches of the entire collection.

The reason those numbers matter is the combination behind them. The F12 Berlinetta brings together a naturally aspirated V12, rear wheel drive and a 6,262 cc engine in a two seater fixed-head coupé. Across the catalogue, only 90 cars use a V12 layout, 68 pair that layout with RWD, and 54 are naturally aspirated V12 cars. The F12 sits where several defining characteristics overlap, making its specification less about a single headline figure and more about a particular formula.

That formula also places it firmly among the more expensive choices available. With a used price of £220,000, the F12 ranks 165th by price, meaning 435 cars in the catalogue are less expensive. Its cost per bhp is £301, a measure that reflects the balance between its performance output and its position as a high value collector purchase.

The F12 Berlinetta represents Ferrari’s presence within this landscape with precision. Ferrari contributes 53 cars to the catalogue, while 118 cars originate from Italy, giving the F12 a place within two of the collection’s strongest groups. Its manufacturer’s history reaches back to 1939, but the appeal here comes from the measurable qualities captured in the catalogue: V12, naturally aspirated, RWD, 730 bhp and a 340 km/h top speed.

This is the car for a collector who wants a focused centrepiece built around a rare combination of engineering choices rather than a simple chase for the highest number. In a dream garage, the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta brings a specific character: a front-engined Italian supercar defined by the meeting point of V12 power, rear wheel drive and naturally aspirated response. It is the kind of addition that shapes the identity of the cars around it.
