It didn’t take long for the first videos of the new Ferrari F12berlinetta to trickle down through the internet after the Italian automaker began inviting the press for test drives at the Fiorano circuit.
Among the first magazines to post a review of their encounter with the V12-powered supercar is UK car publication Auto Express, while US-based magazine Road & Track took the passenger seat with Ferrari test driver Raffaele de Simone handling the wheel.
Until Ferrari presents the replacement for the Enzo, rumored to be named F70, the F12berlinetta will be the most powerful and quickest model in the range.
Thanks to its 730-horsepower (740PS) 6.2-liter V12 engine, the Ferrari model can complete the 0-62mph (100km/h) sprint in 3.1 seconds with the 0-124mph (200km/h) acceleration taking only 8.5 seconds.
And if you happen to be on a race track or the Autobahn, you may experience what it feels like to reach a top speed in excess of 211mph or 340 km/h.
Note that, as pointed out by many YouTube commentators, AE's Jack Rix meant to say carbon-ceramic and not carbon-fiber disks 4:30 into the video (but remember, we all make mistakes...), though the brake description is posted in the correct form on the magazine's online article.
Enjoy the videos of the F12berlinetta right past the break

First video, instead of showing us the car we get to watch the dick-head driver talk, are you kidding me.
Yeah, exclusive track action that we don't get to see. R. & T. FAIL.
Second video, Instead of the tutorial on Fiorano and its corners, and the driver telling us how the car feels and reacts on that track, all everyone wants to see is the car actually Driven hard on that track Fuck teasers! And Road & Track can suck my left nut.
This is why I stopped reading their magazines 10 years ago, too many game players calling the shots. To many weasels pandering to advertisers, by spreading out the information among five or six issues, so they can avoid paying writers, drivers and support people over a much wider range of vehicles, while the same time screwing their readers and subscribers out of the information they should be providing. All this to maximize profits for the magazine's parent company. Fuck them, their tax havens in the Cayman Islands, and their $12 million villa in Monaco.
Yeah this quite disappointing. I was more excited reading about the car then actually watching this review. It felt lackluster and very luke warm.
We just need to wait for Top Gear to give us an over exaggerated review then wait for Evo (but they have been a let down recently) or wait for Drive to do a review.
Also no need to get furious about this..
No guy is ever going to marry you, you are are always bitching.
LMAoff!!!
Maybe Nino Karotta will get a crack at it Aaron, that should be some crazy Hungarian fun.
Somebody has sand in their vagina... but oddly enough, you are right Mr. B.
