The fastest Ferrari ever

The launch of new Ferrari is always special event, because few models have generated as much excitement as the successor to the 599 GTB Fiorano. And the expectations were not dashed.

The Maranello brand is preparing to make the car more powerful and faster produced since its founding in 1947, called F12berlinetta!

Due to the extreme performance supercar so exclusive (the Italian manufacturer promises more than 340 km / h and 0-100 km / h in 3.1 seconds!), Ferrari's engineers have revolutionized the traditional architecture of the cars they manufacture transaxial - wheelbase reduced V12 engine, dashboard and seats mounted lower positions in the chassis and new suspension settings later and cash to back with less volume allowed the production of very compact machine with optimized center of gravity and aerodynamic efficiency that redefines the standards reference in the class!

The sign structure Scaglietti bodywork aluminum spaceframe and the F12berlinetta rear-wheel drive, with 1525 kg car designed in partnership with Pininfarina and equipped with mechanical air capable of 740 hp (power to weight ratio of 2.1 kg / hp), box F1 dual-clutch and many leading technologies, some developed and imported competition.

The Auto Sapo already told him every detail of the New Stratos, a car born of the passion of a German businessman who uses the base of the Ferrari F430 under a spectacular body made ​​of carbon fiber by Pininfarina, was developed with the help of Portuguese Tiago Monteiro. The project's called for Ferrari to cooperate in the production of a very limited number of the vehicle, but after Luca di Montzemolo have walked to the car and wonders of the project have said, everything fell apart.

Ferrari, in a very peculiar and incomprehensible attitude, outright rejected any collaboration, as this is a brand that produces vehicles that compete directly with yours. An error, we think, because the base is Ferrari and the car may well be produced in small numbers and help, for example, the image of the Lancia, returning the name Lancia Stratos.

Despite this setback, the men behind the New Stratos arms were not stopped and the latest news say that the talks with Renault are on track and the New Stratos may well end up as a version that will revive the Alpine A110 Berlinetta ...
