Limited to just 799 examples, the F12tdf pays homage to the Tour de France automobile race by stripping 110 kg from the F12berlinetta while elevating the atmospheric V12 to an astonishing 780 hp with mechanical tappets and variable geometry intake tracts. Compared with contemporary rivals like the Aston Martin DBS, the Ferrari is a fierce, uncompromising driver's machine boasting radical aerodynamics and Maranello's pioneering Virtual Short Wheelbase rear-wheel steering. Investigating Ferrari F12 maintenance guidelines demonstrates that a car with this level of performance demands rigorous verification of track usage, suspension geometry and chassis integrity.
