NIce post, nicer car.
But my heart belongs to the FF, it's a feeling I can't control. After being working with Hublot at the Ferrari weekend here in Valencia, and spent some time in the FF and the F12, my feeling was confirmed. I would be completely happy with a FF as my everyday car, no complaints. I was wearing the Magic gold for two days, and with a very positive sensation about it. I'll try to post some pics soon, I have MANY.
Thanks for sharing.

The Ferrari F12 - a new personal favorite?
Let's start at the beginning... The first Ferrari I ever drove was the Ferrari 599 GTB. I posted my impressions (no photos unfortunately) of the car on PuristSPro back in 2009. A truly special experience, and one that I'll remember. I then drove the Ferr...
FANTASTIC! Pure sex on wheels...
You forgot to mention that this car is the fastest ever car made by Ferrari. That says it all. Another thing, is that even with such extreme performances, its comfortable enough to be driven every day. The real challenge is here. Very impressed with the h...
Thanks for viewing...
I don't think I could ever forget about the watches wish list. But boy, this car just started a "car wish list." Can't wait to get behind the wheel and drive one.
LOL! this just goes to show, Patrick, Fricks, that while we can try to make objective
(read: consistent from one person to another) comments and conclusions about objects, the perception and "feel" of those objects (notice the roots of the words Objects and Objective...) can vary completely and greatly from one person to another, regardles...
You know what I think...
"I think this Patrick character you speak of is just Not Man Enough to handle a Ferrari 599. He likes the Ferrari California and the Ferrari FF hatchback more than the Ferrari 599? What kind of a Ferrari fan is that? He ought to have given the 599 a secon...
Goo'day! Patrick, many thanks for the beautiful pictures......
When it comes to cars, since I have known myself as a person:) Ferrari has always been "The" car! There are many Ferraris that I love, including one which is not considered by Purists a "real" Ferrari which is the Dino, the 346 Dino, of course, a Real Jew...
Thank you for sharing your passion...
I don't have a Ferrari. So I'm not able to take you in a spin in one. Unfortunately. But if you are in Northern California, I can take you for a spin in a normal car! But if you visit Southern California during a PuristSPro event, there may be even nicer ...
Great Report Patrick!
it really seems much nicer than the predecessor And the Hublot Magic Gold is a nice watch to accompany the car Sam
I think so...
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some people really love the 599, we have a few to several 599 owners here on PuristSPro. I wonder if we have any 575M owners? As I would be curious to hear their assessment of the car. I do like the Hublot. And while ...
Forgot to add! If the feet on the pedals are yours, I love your..
Moccasins, as for Hublot for " Ferrari" been nicer than, say.. GP for "Ferrari" ...well, I could, perhaps disagree depending on the model:) Cheers, Francois
These are my feet...
These are my feet... The one with the brown driving shoes. Thank you for noticing! Which GP do you like? Do you have a photo? Very curious to know! Thanks again! ...
Sign me up.
The only problem is by the time they would get around to selling one to a non F car owner most will have moved on to something else. I bet if you buy a FF you will be moved up on the list, only problem is the resale prices on the FF is not pretty (unless ...
Agreed...
I think the consensus of the FF is pretty much universal. I do like the F12. And I'll wait a few years, I have other priorities.
Thanks for taking us step by step ...
... through the various points of the aerodynamic design. I appreciate the car and what the designers were trying to achieve even more. Form follows function, and what a function. Brilliant post. Hope I get a chance to drive one some day. I will certainly...
You'll be taking us step by step...
You better be careful to not have too much fun on that test-drive. Or else you'll soon be taking us step by step with the paperwork of your first Ferrari... After all, it's a highly functional car...

Would have been a nice experience.
Maybe in the next future, it was a novelty and nobody but Alonso and Massa were driving it. They let me drive a 430, and co-piloting the FF, not bad. cheers Vte :)
I've never driven the F430...
I've never driven the F430, but I'd definitely be keen to try that one out!
a Ferrari is so far out of my league that i can only dream about them
i do like the design and the use of aerodynamic 'holes' in the body to improve downforce. the pics go a long way to helping me undersfand how these work. i have to admit to having a dream Ferrari, and that is the 575 Super America. i dont know why, but th...
Another 575 fan...
The normal 575 makes me weak at the knees already. I used to get rides from a mate of mine who had a Subie Legacy. I really like that car a lot. ...
I've never even been inside...
I've never even been inside a super america, but it just hits me between the eyes everytime i see one which isnt often. There is a perfect example for sale in UK. Right hand drive, floppy paddles(i like auto's), 2006 model, 9000 miles, rosso red, black da...
I remember that Carver...
I'm hoping you get the 575 you mentioned. Sounds like a good one! Now if only I could find one here in the States, for around 5 pence.
despite being a Ferrari guy...I dont like it much, even adjusting for my V12 bias
fastest road Ferrari ever...granted most aerodynamic road Ferrari...granted safest road Ferrari ever...granted but so what??!!!??...where is the soul? where is the passion? its all numbers, sales...big numbers, big sales..... I might be switching over to ...
Hmm...
Soul. Passion. These are things that aren't quantifiable. I'm just fond of the styling, I think the car is a genuinely beautiful car. Haven't driven it yet, so I can't attest to the way it drives. I LOVED the GTR when I drove it. So much character. So raw...
Great looking at this after some time has passed...
The F12 definitely holds up. It is still *the* supercar to have. Even after McLaren and Lambo have had quite a bit more time to take some shots at it. Admittedly stuff coming out between F12 intro and now has been in the works since before the F12 was int...
I still haven't driven one...
I haven't driven the F12, and I unfortunately (you'll see why I say unfortunately in a moment) have driven the Lamborghini Aventador. I've driven the Ferrari 599, multiple Californias, and even the Ferrari FF hatchback in the past (you'll note, I haven't...
Over a decade later...
Over a decade later... I still have to say, the Ferrari F12 is a beautiful machine!
