About a week ago, Ferrari hand picked a number of journalists to venture to Italy and have a day with the latest car to come out of Maranello, the F12berlinetta. This is Ferrari's new V12 powered, aluminum bodied top dog. Ferrari promises that this is the fastest road car ever to be adorned with the Prancing Horse badge.
But what did we think? That's a toughie.
(Full Disclosure: Ferrari didn't want us to drive the F12 so badly that we had to hastily assemble all the best bits of other reviews for your reading pleasure. I ate a free muffin while working on it. It was just like being in Italy. Why didn't we get an invite? Probably because of Chris Harris... or because we said it looks like a uterus. — T.O.)
I wasn't allowed to drive it either. But I compiled my score based on things I saw for myself.
(Full Disclosure: Ferrari didn't want me to drive this car. Why? Probably because they have no idea who I am and because I make jokes about Massa on the regular. I drank free coffee while typing this. It was just like being in Newark.)
The Ferrari F12 Berlinetta is the newest Ferrari and the next in line of great V12 GT cars. It is really fucking expensive and it kinda looks like a fish. I will never get to drive one, but if I did the 731 hp and 210mph top speed would kill me. I try to convince myself that my prowess in Mario Kart 64 means I am a race car driver, but in reality it just means that I am a 20something pothead who has too much free time.
In summation, really fast, really expensive, it would kill me, you, your friends, our mutual friends if we have any, any pets, plants, and that cute girl you haven't had the balls to ask out yet. A prancing horse paralyzed Superman, of course it'll ruin you.
