Re-using a nickname given to the original 250 GT Berlinetta Competizione after its win of the Tour de France Automobile in 1956, the F12 Tour de France (TdF) is the latest limited edition front-engined, Ferrari V12 GT car. At its heart, the 6.3 litre V12 lifted from the F12 Berlinetta, uprated from an already hefty 730bhp to 769bhp with an 8900rpm rev limit. This affords the naturally aspirated F12TdF 123bhp per litre, through the use of a revised inlet manifold and mechanical rather than hydraulic tappets.

Shorter gear ratios enable a 2.9 second sprint to 60mph with 120mph just five seconds later. These changes make for a 1:21.00 lap of Fiorano, second only to the LaFerrari by 1.3 seconds.

The F12 TdF is 110kg lighter than the F12, thanks to the prominent use of Alcantara and Carbon Fibre in the interior instead of Leather and Aluminium, and the extensive use of Carbon Fibre on the outside. Fitted for the first time on a Ferrari road car the TDF creates a ‘virtual short wheelbase’ system through the use of active rear-wheel steering; actuators on the toe link add up to a degree of angle greatly increasing stability. Visually the F12 TDF draws many cues from great Ferrari GT cars.

This UK supplied RHD example was supplied new by Ferrari Wilmslow in March 2016 in the classic and timeless Ferrari combination of Rosso Corsa over Nero. In June 2018, this example was purchased by its second and current owner and has now covered just 4,005 miles from new.

Inside the car benefits from full Alcantara trimmed Carbon Fibre Racing seats with complementing Rosso stitching and Rosso Cavallinos stitched on the headrests. A wealth of desirable options were ticked new including the hugely practical Front Axle Vehicle Lifting system, high power HIFI system and the sought-after passenger display.
