Based on the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta

Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera is displaying these days in Geneva their exquisite Ferrari F12-based Berlinetta Lusso.

At least year's Geneva show we saw the Alfa Romeo Disco Volante based on the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione and now Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera has introduced their new project based on the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. It's not an official Ferrari product taking into account it lacks the prancing horse badges but the underpinnings have remained intact so it has the same V12 6.2-liter naturally aspirated engine pushing out 740 HP (544 kW) and 690 Nm (509 lb-ft) of torque sent to the road through a dual-clutch gearbox.

The new body wears an attractive Azzuro Niourlague paint and has been manufactured from carbon fiber and aluminum, a painstaking process which took more than 5,000 hours to complete. The interior cabin also received a series of subtle tweaks, such as an aluminum trim, two-tone leather, custom treadplates, along with different door panel accents and a slightly darker theme on some of the bits and pieces.

Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera has plans to convert five Ferrari F12s provided by clients who will have to wait about six months for the transformation to be done while the price tag has not been disclosed yet.

Is the Ferrari F12 the last in its long line of n/a V12s? Will all 12 cylinder Ferraris be hybrids from now on?

While racing in general performed on a gaming console is hardly trustworthy in terms of lap times or sprint times, some of the latest titles have gotten really good at replicating real performance.

Take Forza Horizon 3 for example. Its cars look more realistic than ever and it's quite possible that the Turn 10 Studios and Playground Games teams got it right when it comes to performance too.

What we have here, is a mile-long drag race between the Ferrari F12berlinetta and the F12tdf, courtesy of the Ericship 111 YouTube channel.

On paper, the F12tdf has a clear advantage, even though the increase in power and torque isn't all that substantial. We're talking 780 PS and 705 Nm (520 lb-ft) for the track-oriented F12tdf, and 741 PS and 690 Nm (509 lb-ft) of torque for the regular model.

The latter is slower to 100 km/h (62 mph) by just 0.2 seconds (3.1 vs 2.9), and despite the power and torque deficit, both cars feature the same top speed of 340 km/h (211 mph).

What we're seeing in the game however is the F12berlinetta gaining on the F12tdf when they get up to higher speeds - which may actually be plausible seen as how the latter was conceived with superior downforce in mind.

Is this a simple case of Forza getting it totally wrong with these two cars? Or do you think they actually got it exactly right, anticipating how the F12tdf's high downforce mods would put it at a disadvantage at very high speed. Sound off below.
