Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Custom Ferrari F12 TRS

[Adam Green (FlatCrank]

Completely over the top, but that's the intent of these trophy horses.  Not my cup of tea.  In the US market, well, I guess it's cruel, but it looks like a Corvette prototype not destined for market production.

Interestingly enough the 650S is quicker than the F12.  The forthcoming Z06 has more torque than the F12.  What will the ZR1 produce?

I thought the F12 was completely over the top.  Who can drive these things?

"The first alleged images of a one-off Ferrari called F12 TRS have surfaced on the web. The car was built at the request of a wealthy collector whose identity remains unknown.

Designed by the automaker's Special Projects Division, the F12 TRS is based on the F12berlinetta coupe but it gains a targa roof, heavily-tinted windows and a more shapely rear end. The front fascia is fitted with a race-inspired splitter, and the car appears to wear bespoke alloy wheels.

The F12 TRS is reportedly powered by a gasoline-electric hybrid drivetrain consisting of a 729-horsepower 6.2-liter V12 engine that works jointly with a Formula 1-inspired Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) made up of an electric motor and a high-capacity battery pack. Not available on the stock F12, the hybrid system is expected to propel the F12 TRS from zero to 62 mph in under 3 seconds and on to a top speed of over 210 mph.

Sources indicate the F12 TRS cost its owner $4.2 million, considerably more than even the range-topping ThethetheFerrari. The car will remain an exclusive one-off and it will not be added to the Ferrari catalog.

Ferrari is expected to publish a full set of details about the F12 TRS once the roadster has been delivered."

FG approves of this design.

For $4.2 million, I just hope it sounds better than anything Ferrari has ever made. Based on the current F12/599 GTO offerings, I think it might be.
