Stronger, faster and more economical
When driving a classic V12 come with 6.3-liter engine is used. This is greedy for speed (max. 8700 rpm), makes 740 hp and 690 Nm of torque braces on the crankshaft. Thus equipped, the rear-wheel drive is catapulted in 3.1 seconds to 100 km / h, 5.4 seconds later shows the speedometer already 200 km / h. Only at 340 km / h ceases the tremendous thrust. Since the car is shorter, has slimmed down by 70 kg and the focus shifted further to the rear (54 per cent of the weight on the rear axle), he will again go much more agile around the corners. When transmission is an F1 Doppelkuplungsgetriebe with even shorter shift times on board. The consumption was reduced by 30 percent compared to the 599 GTB (CO2 emissions of 350 g / km).

Design
Visually, the Ferrari berlinetta F12 is a stunner. He does voices from all perspectives, and looks even when standing still extremely fast. The front is very similar to the FF, the page looks like a strained muscle in his wheeled and well-proportioned rear making for a powerful finish. The pressure was improved by 76 percent, according to the developers. At 200 km / h to 123 kg athletes push on the road. The drag coefficient is sensational 0.299. Here you can see the entire Formula 1 know-how.

Ferrari California First Drive (2013)


CAR GARAGE | Ferrari California First Drive (2013) | An absolute pussycat for trundling around Honolulu in comfort mode, flossing with the top down, Detroit cap proudly displayed. The updated 2013 Ferrari California is the kind of car Robin Masters, the mysterious benefactor from the "Magnum PI" TV series, would have left for Tom Selleck to drive if the show were set in present-day Hawaii. If you've been scanning the photos of the exterior updates for 2013 California, you can stop now, Because There are not any, save a piece trim color here and there, depending on the package and customer preference.  California's roughly 8000 have been sold to date, with 30 percent coming Stateside.


Ferrari Officials forcefully made the point That this is about as powerful as They want this car to get. Believe us, it's plenty, and any car with a launch button in the center console has our immediate attention. The California will launch Itself in as little AS 3.5 seconds to 60 mph and an 11.9 second quarter at 117.4 mph - a time we recorded in the previous car. Mash the gas and it's go time to 8 grand in all seven gears, flat-plane crank V-8 Wailing Madly.

The bend tightens and the optimized ECU starts transmitting instructions furiously at a 50 percent faster rate to the car's SCM Magneto rheological damper system, ordering it to keep the California from rolling under hard cornering (you can get the SCM setup separately for $ 5,200). The package also features revised HS, Quicker steering and a stiffer set of springs all around (15 percent front, 11 percent rear).


"We did not want to go too Overboard with HS and change the mission of the car," said De Simone. Given its role as a Strictly defined GT in the brand's pantheon, Ferrari is keen to keep California from straying into the super sports car territory. Yes, we'd choose the HS option, and Ferrari thinks some 15 percent or more of Americans will, too. In Addition to the engine and handling updates, Ferrari's aluminum fabrication team got busy mixing in new alloys, implementing advanced techniques, and reducing steel use for the car's updated chassis, saving some 66 pounds off of the 3916-pound Curb weight of the 2010 car we tested.


Inside, the California has all the style and panache we've come to expect from the Italians - a small cattle herd's worth of leather; enveloping, infinitely adjustable seats; and Numerous other upscale touches. If you have more than Warren Buffett's bank, you can visit the Ferrari design center and pimp out your interior any way you want it. Bottom line, the California is a car in the which the Magnum and his mustache would feel right at home, impressing the bad guys and hot chicks alike - that is, if That crotchety old bugger Higgins would ever give him the keys.

Ferrari Previews V12 Hybrid-KERS System For Upcoming Supercar



For fans of performance cars, there is nothing in the world quite like a Ferrari. You don’t even have to like cars at all to love the Ferrari, the epitome of European excess and luxury wrapped in a sleek supercar package. Yet unlike other European automakers, like Porsche, who has embraced hybrid and clean-diesel technology, Ferrari has only utilized green-tech on the race track for the performance advantage it confers. Until now.
Ferrari has now confirmed what many were speculating; a new V12 motor linked to a kinetic energy recovery system, also known as a KERS or flywheel hybrid. This engine is slated to be introduced in the next-generation successor to the popular (and wickedly expensive) Ferrari Enzo.
The prancing horse brand has utilized a KERS hybrid system in Formula 1, using the energy recovered from braking to spin a flywheel. The stored energy can then be dumped into electric motors, giving the cars a brief power boost. Ferrari had shown off a similar system back in their 599 HY-KERS Concept in 2010, and speculation has been swirling that the next mid-engine supercar would be a hybrid of one sort or another.
For a while now, Ferrari has managed to become a leader in efforts to curb individual automaker emissions (mostly because its emissions were so high to begin with) without going hybrid, electric, or diesel
Exciting news for greenies and gearheads alike. Ferrari now joins other supercar makers including Jaguar and McLaren in bringing high-powered green supercars to the table. This is the direction more green cars need to go. Almost everyone idolizes a Ferrari, and the wealth it embodies. Whether the new Ferrari gets a power boost button or not remains to be seen, but I can already tell you that a hybrid Ferrari will piss off some people, while being the envy of many, many more.
I don’t care how much you hate hybrids, I doubt that any of you would turn down a ride in a Ferrari hybrid.

Ferrari Patents New Hybrid System


CAR GARAGE | Ferrari Patents New  Hybrid System | The latter seems a speculative, but cool: The Dino, Ferrari's first mid-engine sports car, used a fantastic-sounding V-6. A hybrid concept 599 Appeared at the 2010 Geneva auto show, packing a V-12 engine and a Formula 1-inspired KERS hybrid system. Patent applications we've uncovered, however, show That Ferrari is planning a far more conventional hybrid system. KERS stands for Kinetic Energy Recovery System. While most hybrid gas-electric systems in automobiles recover kinetic energy in some way, KERS Typically refers to a system That uses the car's brakes to spool up a flywheel; the flywheel, in turn, briefly holds the energy until the driver wants a short burst of added power. In Addition to Ferrari, Porsche and Volvo have experimented with KERS hybrid systems.


But Ferrari's patent describes what sounds like a more conventional, non-hybrid KERS setup. One more detail Important: The patent application describes the system as being set up in a car with a front-mounted, 90-degree engine. That means Ferrari's talking California, as the V-12 cars have a 65-degree bank angle engine.  Although Ferrari has been experimenting with the KERS hybrid system, however some patent applications have turned up recently reveal That Ferrari's plans to implement a more conventional, and seemingly more efficient, hybrid system.


Last month, Amedeo Felisa, Ferrari's chief, Revealed That the automaker was in the process of developing hybrid technology for the V12 models, V6 power and that 'even has potential. The KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) technology has already used Ferrari That operates by transferring energy from the brakes to a flywheel, the which holds the energy as it spools, releasing it as the driver needs. Ferrari's patent Appears to Achieve the same end result, minus any performance loss.


As the patent Outlines, the new concept uses two electric motors, one for propulsion and one to maintain ancillary systems, plus a battery and a super capacitor for energy storage. Using the two separate electric motors That means all of the torque will remain with the internal-combustion engine, allowing for improved performance over KERS. Let us know what you think about Ferrari's V6 and hybrid.
