2013 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta

The 2013 Ferrari F12berlinetta is the fastest Ferrari road car in the world, and will be available for sale in late 2012.

This sports car was created as the successor to the classic 599 GTB Ferrari Fiorano, and leads the way for new innovations in V-12 engine cars.

The Ferrari F12berlinetta was designed by a joint venture with Pininfarina, with the goals of efficiency and speed in mind. It's available in colors such as a silver shade of "aluminum" or a reddish hue called "Rosso Berlinetta."

Performance

The most stunning feature of the car is its speed, achieved by innovations in aerodynamic design and a high-performance engine.

The F12berlinetta packs 730 Horsepower with 509 lb-ft of torque under the hood, in a 6.3 liter V-12 engine that can accelerate from 0-62 miles per hour in 3.1 seconds. It's a new speed record in its class, delivering maximum revs of up to 8,700 rpm.

In this Ferrari, you can cruise up to a top speed of 211 miles per hour in style. Like other Ferraris, this car delivers the best precision handling you would expect from the creators of top formula one vehicle, and this car definitely offers more of a racing feel.

The seven speed dual clutch transmission is similar to those used in formula one cars.

It is made with 12 different new aluminum alloys that reduce the overall weight of the car to approximately 1.68 tons, making it 360 pounds lighter than the 599 GTB Fiorano.

Top Specifications

Other highlights of the F12Berlinetta include: fuel consumption is 30% less than previous Ferrari models and 16% less carbon emissions than its predecessors. Braking is helped by specialty high performance carbon ceramic brakes (CCM3) along with a top performance Anti-lock Braking system.

2012 PG Elektrus

Caution: the 2012 PG Elektrus is not for the faint of heart. It's also not for those who like to blend in.

Instead, this electric car is for the person who wants to stand up and out and be noticed by one and all, because that's exactly what happens to people who buy this car. Not only do you look good, but you get to help the environment.

Familiar Look

The 2012 PG Elektrus is based on a Lotus frame, so if the car looks familiar to you, that is why. The Elektrus combines the sexy smoothness of the Lotus with a gnarling open grill that makes one think Mad Max might be just over the horizon.

It's an electric car with both an attitude and a new look on life. It also likes to go fast. How fast? How does zero to 60 mph in three seconds sound? We agree: it's pretty impressive.

Performance

Under the hood of the PG Elektrus sits a 268 HP engine that manages 258 lbs-ft of peak torque. Just so you know, this isn't a Prius. With a top speed of 155mph, the PG Elektrus is made for the person who has just about everything; everything, that is, except the coolest electric car on planet Earth.

Electric

Made in Germany, the PG Elektrus has a range of over 200 miles. That in and of itself is quite impressive when it comes to an electric car. The Elektrus can be charged from a standard outlet, which means you can plug this awesome car in while you are baking a casserole.

Of course, it takes about eight hours to charge, but it's worth it. There is simply no other electric car on the road today that is as cool as the PG Elektrus. It also comes with its own solar panel, which is mounted on the back and continually collects power from the sun.

Handling

The Elektrus has excellent handling, and when it takes corners it shows its true racecar lineage. This is a driver's car meant for someone who truly enjoys everything about a sports car, from the look to the feel to the sound to the smell. If you are interested in saving the planet while you find its coolest roads, the Elektrus is the car for you.
