EVO: Ferrari F12 Berlinetta Engine “not as special as” Lexus LFA V10

Ferrari’s new flagship supercar, the F12 Berlinetta is the Italian company’s most powerful ever road car. It’s 6.3-litre naturally-aspirated V12 engine revs to 8,700rpm and produces 730hp (544kW) and 690Nm of torque (508.9 lb-ft).

The F12 Berlinetta is by most accounts, an amazing supercar. However, EVO Magazine’s review of the new Ferrari flagship raises some rather interesting points when they compare it to the car that won last year’s comparison against the Ferrari 599 GTO, the Lexus LFA.

Here is what EVO said about the F12 Berlinetta:

“Closer in concept to the F12 is the Lexus LFA. It’s massively outgunned by the F12 and more expensive, too, but we think it’s more than the sum of its beautiful carbon and titanium parts, and not even the F12’s V12 feels as special as that searing 552bhp 4.8-litre V10. Its £340,000 and its gearbox is simply outclassed by the F12’s…and yet we wouldn’t like to say which is the more involving drivers’ car without trying them back to back. The LFA is really that good.”

So, EVO isn’t sure if the F12 Berlinetta is a better drive than the LFA. I really can’t wait for EVO to drive them back to back and give us the verdict.
