2017 Ferrari F12tdf will be offered for sale at RM Sotheby’s upcoming auction, titled, “Fort Lauderdale 2019” that will be held on March 29-30, 2019, in Florida. The pre-auction estimate of this unique and rare car is $925,000 - $1,100,000. It will be featured in lot 3108 at the auction.  “Grand touring has been a part of Ferrari’s mission since day one, but few cars bearing Maranello’s prancing horses have had the breadth of capabilities found in the F12. When it replaced the 599 at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, the F12 brought with it an evolution of the F140 V-12 engine teamed to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Scaglietti and Ferrari collaborated on the car’s aluminum space-frame chassis that managed to weigh less than the 599 while being 20-percent more rigid. The F12 was far more than the sum of its parts. It stood in marked contrast to the LaFerrari hypercar that bowed about a year later as the homage to the brand’s decades of naturally aspirated powertrains. The F12 was refreshingly raw and visceral, a showcase for how far Ferrari could push the limits of a high-revving naturally aspirated V-12 engine,” states the auction house in its press release. Some of the highlighting features of this 2017 Ferrari F12tdf are that it has a 770-hp naturally aspirated V-12 and it is finished in Bianco Avus over Rosso Ferrari leather. It is one of the only 799 models built and has covered less than 900 miles from new. Elaborating the details and history of this car RM Sotheby’s says, “The F12tdf, named after the Tour de France race which was dominated by Ferrari at the competition’s high point during the 1950s and 1960s. Ferrari envisioned the F12tdf as a track-oriented version of the F12. The automaker’s chief test driver flung an F12tdf around the Fiorano test circuit in a mere one minute and 21 seconds, two ticks faster than the standard F12 and just a hair off of the LaFerrari.” Sotheby’s adds, “It is a heavily optioned example, the exterior features titanium exhaust pipes, red calipers, carbon fiber fog lamp, headlight bucket, and under door cover. The car rides on 20-in. forged dark painted wheels featuring carbon fiber hub caps.” https://www.blouinartinfo.com/              Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
