Ferrari F12 in pearl white is just a thing of beauty

[@frage-zeichen]

The 458 Speciale in Pearl White looks stunning, too.

[@patrickpelletier6315]

White looks great on cars with subtle curves i find. It will work on just about anything but personally anything since the late 80's until this day will look good in white. Problem is Pearl White like this requires extra work because it gets visibly and rather disgustingly dirty very quick. Depending on driving style too.

[@spartus09]

The quintessential grand touring car. What a remarkable machine.

It's sad that 99% of car lovers will never experience any car valued over $100,000.

[@Beer_Dad1975]

GT6SuzukaTimeTrials It's not that hard, you put on a nice suit and go to the dealership and pretend you are considering buying one.

[@mprziv]

Shoot, my local Chevy dealer wouldn't let me test drive a new C7 corvette...and I actually wanted to buy one!

Maybe invest in a nicer suit? ☺oh and don't turn up in a corolla...

The F12 berlinetta is just so beautiful and amazing in every way! It's an absolutely exquisite masterpiece. One of my most favorite Ferraris of all-time for sure. A perfect dream machine.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

My favorite Ferrari. Beautiful video guys.

[@parabolicpanorama]

Can we just take a moment and appreciate the video itself? The car is a work of art itself and this video does justice to it. One of the most perfect videos to ever be uploaded on this channel. Keep it up ***** . Amazing video.

[@dominikvereno3783]

Amazing, my favourite ferrari by far; a monster when you deactivate traction control

[@nikb6528]

Yeah because if the traction is turned ON it only has 150 hp, or what ?

[@dominikvereno3783]

Nik Brudar I might not have made myself clear; i ment, that when the TCS is turned off, then it's unforgiving, it punishes you at every turn with a powerslide or a burnout everytime you accelerate from a green light. I've spoken with two salesman who have driven the F12, and they told me that it's very hard to control this much power without having a computer aid. I didn't say it as a judgement on the speed, performance, power but rather the driving experience.

[@beefbroth6539]

Dominik Vereno Well said, most people on the internet nowadays only care about the spec sheet numbers while ignoring the actual joy of driving the car. Can't blame them though, most of us won't see these kinds of cars on the road let alone be able to afford them.

[@dominikvereno3783]

Beef Broth you are right! Cars like the Subaru BRZ don't sound that cool on paper, but I had more fun driving it than I had driving an Audi R8, which is vastly more powerful, and obviously faster.

[@mochoowo]

Dominik Vereno When you drive a car like an R8 you can't use most of it's power unless you're on a track, while with a BRZ or a Miata you can put everything down at an interstate ramp or a randoom backroad on your way home, which in a sense, makes underpowered cars alot more usable and fun when it comes to just driving.

[@MclovinMclove]

Am I the only who prefers this over an aventador

[@Mekhi311]

No hate the aventador overpriced crap that's why the F12 walked on it! Ha

[@ChrisRawls]

Nope , this car is by far better.

Definitely! Since you've witnessed the sound of this car in person, is it louder than the Aventador?

[@teeduke2918]

***** would you say this is better then the Aventador Roadster? i would.

[@EverydayDriver]

We get the feeling Alex had trouble giving this car back. Can't blame him. And the Prius commentary was inspired. Great work, gents!

This is by far....my most favorite car video of all time. Alex if I had the money I would make sure that you had one of these, for you to call your own. I think this is the Mona Lisa of cars. Its just perfect and so was the video. Amazing...to see someone so happy. Keep going Alex...

[@xVinoz]

Ive olny seen 2 videos and im already in love with this channel, this is like a premium petrolheads channel .. thankk you so much!!

[@Supercarsfanatik]

Ferrari and Lamborghini should stick to to naturally aspirated. It is understandable that they want to make some cars like LaFerrari to prove that they have the technology but like in Formula 1, fans miss a lot the V8,V10 and V12's.

[@theeeMitchi]

I guess the problem is that emission regulations say NO ...

[@gaelenski_]

thee Mitchi The bigger problem is that the fans don't make much money for the company. So you can demand all you like, but you won't get far.

[@theeeMitchi]

Not denying that, it's true.

[@Dgannt]

thee Mitchi I don't think it's the emissions that is the biggest problem but the competition that just keeps adding bigger turbos or superchargers to their engines to get more power and being faster than Ferrari's with NA engines. Mclaren and Corvette are 2 clear examples of this problem. While Ferrari via high level engineering gets 600 hp from their 4,5L NA engine in Speciale, all the others have to do is add bigger turbos and voila, they are faster. You can go so far with engineering until it becomes too expensive when competition can add more power much cheaper.

[@SpazzyWombat27]

For the sake of the environment, frankly, that will never be.

[@targaflorio3239]

Wonderful review. Keep them coming XCar. Love your take on all things automotive exotica.

[@Speednote10]

[@gabrielsandoval4994]

Those last shots with the sun setting gave the video that hue of 60’s 70’s films, gave me nostalgia. Very nice shots. Thank you for that.

[@MagazineMotorsport]

Epic sound

[@jdhazan]

In the LaFerrari the V12 is still naturally aspirated. The car is motivated by a naturally aspirated engine PLUS electric motors. So no, this is not the last naturally aspirated V12 in a Ferrari.

[@theeeMitchi]

Jeffrey Hazan Well, at least it's basically the same engine, it's just a revised version in the LaFerrari. But you're right

[@CockatooDude]

Jason Electric is pure power, a gas engine's power delivery is really staggered and jagged. As opposed to the incredible smooth, unrelenting power of an electric motor. And the best part of it is you can make an electric motor as powerful as you want to. Right now there is a British racing company who have a 4000 nm electric racecar. Chris Harris did a review on it.

[@jimmychanga4130]

CockatooDude only issue with electricity is the range it seems. I'm all for hybrids but straight electric cars seem to just lose the soul a big v8 or v12 have. Along with the exhaust.... I think that makes up for the difference in power delivery :)

[@CockatooDude]

Isaiah Ebben Wait 5-10 years and graphene sheet batteries will make electric cars be able to cross the USA on one charge, I swear it.

[@matteo.bassini5819]

The issue of electricity is that it's basically an automatic car that you can't even control the gears of. Doesn't sound like fun to me.

[@chingonator2012]

Love the music in your videos men, it´s glorius to hear such a great car with some great music !! Subscribing rigth now.

[@Ardentautosports]

Awesome video. Please keep up the good work!

[@AntoineMardhel]

fauzi hassan Agreed. No wrong angle, magic curves. In person it is jaw dropping.

[@Terraceview]

Antoine Marty Is it??

[@Gaudine]

fauzi hassan This fat piece of computer designed Ferrari looks the most beautiful to you lmfao... Oh gosh. Anyway, on the 599 GTB the headlights alone look better than the whole f12berlinetta.

[@AntoineMardhel]

princeworm Oh you poor jaded hipster. I think of this generation of Ferrari it is the most beautiful. However out of all ferrari of course this one is not the most striking, 250 GT Berlinetta SWB comes to mind, and of course the 288 gto.

[@Gaudine]

Antoine Marty How am I a hipster? Of this generation certainly not since the 458 was definitely more gorgeous looking and the 488 looks even better. The 288 gto is a beautiful Ferrari??? Great performer but honestly is that a beautiful design? The 250 GT Berlinetta SWB looks nice but nowhere near as beautiful as the 250 GTO or other 250 GTO variants or the Lusso or the California and the list goes on. Look up the Superleggera Berlinetta Lusso that is basically a f12berlinetta but with a different coachbuilt body.

I think I'm in love.

Usually I'm pretty indifferent to Ferraris. They're great cars, but usually I'd rather have something a bit more unusual myself. I love the F12 though. It's gorgeous and fantastic. One of the best GT cars out there right now. Probably the best looking Ferrari in a very long time too. Great video too. Those shots with the sunset were brilliant.

[@longtailgt]

Am I the only one who noticed how Alex suddenly stopped the F12 at the very end in the middle of the road? As if it was to signify the end of the front engine rwd, naturally aspirated V12 Ferraris.

[@patrickpelletier6315]

I think it was to signify that the end is getting near. But still has quite some time until then. Thats why i think they cut it about half way before it was out of view or just miniscule.

[@stecky2010]

[@JonathanLahr]

I'm buying a lottery ticket right now...

[@flyingphoenix113]

hate to say this Alex, but I completely disagree with you on this one. My friend dailies a 599 gtb (paddle shift) and that engine is not smooth. No, I'm not confusing the engine with the transmission. Maybe it is just the exhaust note, but the V12's of recent have been raspy. They all have unequal length headers which, when silenced, sound fine. The enzo and original 599 sounded great, not F50 like, but pretty good for a large v12. Then beginning with the 599 gto, they all received these filthy, vulgar sounding exhaust systems which really didn't suit the nature of the cars. Equal length headers were the way to go (what are on the Zonda, Murcielago, ECT.). That is why I will always revere the 575 as the last, true, smooth V12 Ferrari. If I wanted a straight-piped 350Z or V6 F-type, I'd buy one of those rattle cans. In a V12 Ferrari, however, I wanted smoothness, not rasp and excitement. also, I feel like modern v12 Ferraris suffer from role confusion worse than just about any car in production. Is it a grand tourer or an all out supercar because I get conflicting signals. In the past, it was a lap time be damned, all out high-speed cruiser and that gave it a purpose. In the late 90's, the 550 was only 5mph off of the F50 in terms of top speed (199 vs 204) and the intended roles of both cars were clear. The F12 is just a bit too much. It needs more traction, a softer suspension, and a manual option (even if it were just a few like the 599). with the 488 gtb, I'm really starting to question if the prancing stallion really knows any of its customers. The Aventador is stupid as everything, but because it is intentionally all-out, ostentatious stupidity at its finest, I'm sure that it'll both sell incredibly well as it already has.
