Scheduled to make waves at the highly-anticipated Barrett-Jackson 2024 Scottsdale auction, taking place from January 20th to the 28th, is none other than the prestigious and breathtaking 2017 Ferrari F12 TDF.
Beneath its sleek exterior lies an impressive naturally aspirated 6.3-liter V12 engine that packs a punch, delivering a commanding horsepower of 770 and torque of up to 520 ft/lbs. Thanks to this dynamic powertrain, the F12 TDF accelerates from a standstill to an exhilarating speed of 60 mph in just under three seconds flat while reaching an awe-inspiring top speed of approximately211 mph – a testament to its remarkable engineering prowess.
The design aesthetic pays homage to Ferrari’s iconic racing heritage by showcasing a captivating Bianco Fuji exterior adorned with Livrea Nero Stellato stripes. Inside, one can relish in sheer luxury within the Nero interior accentuated by striking Bianco stitching details. The aggressive sporty appearance is further amplified by eye-catching Matte Black racing wheels measuring twenty inches in diameter along with stealthily blacked-out brake calipers.
Earning its name as “TDF,” which stands for “Tour de France,” this magnificent model commemorates Ferrari’s dominance during the legendary endurance race held throughout the 1950s and 1960s. This iteration builds up the foundation laid by its predecessor, the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, but elevates the performance aspect through substantial advancements across various areas including engine capacity, aerodynamics, and suspension. The incorporation of carbon fiber elements and other lightweight materials has resulted in a remarkable weight reduction compared to standard models.
One notable addition is the pioneering virtual short wheelbase system integrated into the F12 TDF. This technological breakthrough enhances both handling capabilities and agility on the driving spectrum. A rarity among its kind, only 799 examples of this extraordinary vehicle have been crafted.
The sale of this exclusive F12 TDF encompasses a wealth of desirable features including a build book and an unopened luggage set, hence elevating its collectibility.
