Ferrari F12 revealed!
http://www.autoweek.com/article/2012...NEVA/120229814
Ferrari revealed the F12 Berlinetta on Wednesday, and it packs 730 hp and 509 lb-ft of torque from a 6.3-liter engine (6,262 cc). Ferrari is billing this new supercar as the fastest its ever built, and that’s reinforced with nearly breathtaking statistics. It can sprint from 0 to 62 mph in 3.1 seconds and clocks a top speed of more than 211 mph. That’s a significant jump from the performance specs of the 599, which made 611 hp and is being replaced by the F12 in the company’s lineup.
In keeping with tradition, this new berlinetta has a mid-front-engine configuration with a transaxle layout.
This F12 can lap the fabled Fiorano circuit in 1:23, which is faster than any other Ferrari road-going model, and it gets a Formula One-style dual-clutch gearbox, replacing the 599’s six-speed automated manual. The naturally aspirated engine makes 80 percent of its torque at just 2,500 rpm, and the revs can soar all the way to a limit of 8,700 rpm. The cylinders are banked at 65 degrees.

The big difference between those two numbers will be the intensity of the 'chick magnetism' generated by the two cars. While the first category is pretty close, I don't think that can be said about the second.
Being an old fart, I think I'd have to go with the first. The second would probably kill me all by itself.

Stunning! Best looking Ferrari in a long time.
The rear is the most challenging aspect. I think I could grow to love the unusual styling back there, but the fog light is tacky. Yes Ferrari, I know it's a nod to the F1 cars.......but it looks naff on a road car.
