'One of one' right-hand drive Ferrari F12 70th Anniversary model supplied new in the UK
As part of activities to mark the 70th anniversary of the Prancing Horse, Ferrari Tailor Made, together with the designers of Centro Stile have put a modern twist on the stylistic features and elements that distinguished 70 of the most beautiful Ferraris in history and in so doing have created 70 unique 'designs'. Seventy exclusive liveries, each created just the once for every car in the current range, blend the past with the future to create the icons of tomorrow. All the cars are distinguished by the exclusive commemorative logo of the 70th anniversary along with an ID plate with the name of the model that inspired it." – Ferrari.
To celebrate its 70th anniversary in 2017, Ferrari decided to offer 70 distinct liveries to celebrate 70 historically significant models from its past, all of which would have individual paint schemes, interior colours, and other exclusive features courtesy of Ferrari's Tailor Made programme. Ferrari had five models in production at that time: the 488 GTB, 488 Spider, California T, GTC/ 4 Lusso, and F12 Berlinetta, that offered here being one of the 70 special 70th Anniversary versions of the latter. It is number '24 of the 70 designs produced - California Dreaming'
Introduced to the motoring public at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, the Ferrari F12 replaced the 599 family of front-engined Gran Turismos. Ferrari's gorgeous new berlinetta was soon garnering critical accolades, being voted 'Supercar of the Year 2012' by Top Gear magazine, and in 2014 received the coveted 'Premio Compasso d'Oro ADI', one of the world's oldest and most prestigious design awards.
It is an oft-stated cliché that 'the heart of every Ferrari is its engine', and the F12's 6. 3-litre, 65-degree, normally aspirated V12 is acknowledged as one of the finest ever. With 730bhp on tap, this award-winning power unit - one of the most powerful ever installed in a Ferrari road car – delivers stupendous performance, propelling the F12 to 100km/ h (62mph) in 3. 1 seconds on its way to a top speed of 211mph. Around Ferrari's Fiorano test track, the F12 proved to be 3. 5 seconds quicker that the preceding 599 GTB and 2. 0 seconds quicker than the mid-engined Enzo; even the hardcore 599 GTO was slower. And all that from a comfortable and civilised Gran Turismo.
