Engine
The F12 Berlinetta is powered by a 6.3 liter V12 engine producing 763 HP at 8500 RPM that allows it to reach 214 MPH. This performance gain was possible due to a newly calibrated injection and an ignition boost.
The added HP is gained by adjusting the calibrations on the engine, not by changing anything to it. Similar to the California, 458 Italia and the FF model, the Berlinetta uses a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
Performance
Ferrari introduced their new high-tech wheels which are now the lightest of its kind in the world. This caused the Berlinetta to behave a bit more agile when compared with the previous model. At the same time, the increased downforce adds more stability at high speeds and under steering is no longer an issue as in early models.
Exterior
The exterior design of this version of the F12 Berlinetta is almost the same as the stock version. Novitec changed the front and back tire size to 21 and respectively 22 inch. Other than the tires, the Novitec version did not receive any visual improvements. The main focus was the improvement of performance and handling.
Interior
The Novitec Rosso’s F12 Berlinetta did not receive any changes in its interior. It comes with the same carbon fiber and leather interior options
At first glance, the 2012 Novitec Rosso Ferrari F12 Berlinetta resembles the 599 series. A few subtle design and performance tweaks allow it to stand out. The new car from the Italian manufacturer and Stuttgart based tuning company Novitec Rosso has given this offering higher horse power output, improved handling an improved reliability during tight corners.
