The Ferrari F12berlinetta (Type F152) is a front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive grand tourer produced by Italian automobile manufacturer Ferrari.

The F12berlinetta debuted at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, and replaced the 599 grand tourer.

The naturally aspirated 6.3 litre Ferrari V12 engine used in the F12berlinetta has won the 2013 International Engine of the Year Award in the Best Performance category and Best Engine above 4.0 litres.

The F12berlinetta was named “The Supercar of the Year 2012” by car magazine Top Gear. The F12berlinetta was replaced by the 812 Superfast in early 2017.

The Ferrari F12tdf (tour de France) is a track-focused version of the F12berlinetta unveiled in October 2015.

The name pays homage to the Tour de France automobile race held between 1899 and 1986 and which was regularly won by the Ferrari 250 between 1956 and 1964.

The F12tdf shares the same 6.3 litre V12 engine with the F12berlinetta, but with power output increased to 780 PS (574 kW; 769 hp) at 8500 rpm and 705 N⋅m (520 lb⋅ft) of torque at 6750 rpm.

The F12tdf is 110 kg (243 lb) lighter than the F12, having a claimed dry weight of 1,415 kg (3,120 lb) and kerb weight of 1,520 kg (3,351 lb). Ferrari claims an acceleration time for the F12tdf of 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds and 0 to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 7.9 seconds.

The top speed was claimed to be ‘in excess of 340 km/h (211 mph)’. The car has recorded a 1-minute 21 seconds lap time on Ferrari’s Fiorano test circuit, 2 seconds faster than the standard F12berlinetta and 488 GTB, and just 1.3 seconds behind the fastest lap set by the LaFerrari.

F12tdf was designed by Ferrari Styling Centre.

Production of the F12tdf was limited to 799 units.
