Mafalda, 0-100 is 3,0 sec, not 3,3

oops, typo

I have verified at the moment.... this F12 test seems to be faster than some Aventador test and slower than other.
The AutobildSportscars Aventador test is the fastest test I have, where the Lambo was slightly faster than the F12 and tested at 25 degrees. The SA Supertest of the Lambo was the least convincing.

I expected a bit more. Probably the first Ferrari after some time that has not reached its claimed performance figures in QR (0-200 km/h, 100-200 km/h).

Anyway, still amazing for an allround GT car. 0-100 km/h in 3,0s is an achievement for a front-engined RWD car. Brakes very good as well in comparison to Aventador.

 

[Mafalda]

ok this is just teh 1st F12-full test, and 0-200 8.8s is not so bad
anyway, F12 was the fasterst QR ever about 0-200; 100-200 and 1 Km, and also best ever speed @ 1/4 mile

The LP700 and F12 seem to be very close with a nod towards the F12. However since both cars are handmade, one may have more hp and another may have less. For instance the LP720-4s will just have LP700 engines that ended up making a bit more power. And if they are optioned differently different F12s and LP700s will weight different amounts too. Race two sets of different F12s and Aventadors and the results will likely vary quite a bit.

Does that explain why they didn't continue accelerating up to 300 kph ?

I still can't find any tests for F12 accelerating up to 300 kph

I've asked to QR about 0-300, they answered "no 0-300 sorry, the measure stops @ 1 km"
