The downshifts sound messed up due to the computer controlled tranny but it sounds good other than that.

The car looks fantastic when it drives into a shadow and you can no longer see the hideous indentation on the side between the wheel wells.
 
The shifts, the V12 sound, the looks......damn....what a piece of art!
 
Wow ! What fun that looks like!
 
I think they got the F12 right!
 
Me like. At 700+hp should be something. I wonder how the front engined but higher horse powered car will compare to the F458?
 
My guess is that it will crush the 458 around a race track. The price tag on this thing is going to be astronomical so it'll have a lot to live up to. I wouldn't be surprised in the least to see a heavily optioned out car coming real close to $500k, which is mind boggling. Looks like it's a whole lot of fun to murder around a race track. With that transmission and 740 hp, it should be pretty blistering in a straight line.

May be good straight line run for a 2013 Shelby.

Leaves about $640K differential for upgrades in the Shelby for improvement in the sound department.
 
Dear mother of God! That V12 sounds SIIIIICK!!!
The sound is near to the 599 XX, but a little bit more human.
BTW, the black California in the video is the turbo-charged prototype Ferrari. Sounds really really bad.

Looking forward to my visit to Modena this year as well. Last year was just amazing.
 
Sign me up for 2!

When I was at the Fiorano track last month driving the 458 Italia, one of the Ferrari drivers took a new F12 owner out in his new black version....got to witness that video performance LIVE ACTION! :eek:eek:eek
 
Sounds bad ass. But that rear end just doesn't do it for me.
 
Ignore the first minute, but oh my God the racket this things makes. LC looks like it's no slouch in the acceleration department either.

Mama mia. I like. Not sure how I feel about it compared to the 458, though the F12 clearly another 100+hp and more advanced electronics.
In a way, that's the Ferrari problem - always another faster one.
