Ferrari F12 Berlinetta

By -
I was looking through the different Ferraris and noticed a name of a car which I had forgotten about but the moment I saw the name I remembered it because I had known this car back in my childhood. As soon as I remembered this Ferrari I have been wanting to make a post about it. The Ferrari F12 Berlinetta.


The F12 Berlinetta was launched in 2012 and produced until 2015. Powered by a V12 engine that gives the car 730 horsepower, the cars top speed reached a total of 340 kmph which made it a good all around model. I like the overall design of the car actually, simple but good looking. The F12 may not stand out like other Ferraris but I think the looks are pretty good. Even though the F12 was a successful product I feel like it didn’t get as much attention as other Ferraris that were produced during the same time like the 458 Italia, California and LaFerrari which were all more popular or well known.

There’s also a track variant of the F12 which I had absolutely no idea about until making this post. It’s called the F12 TDF. The F12 TDF has increased speed and performance over the normal F12. The F12 TDF is also limited edition car with only 799 units in total produced.

Ferrari replaced the F12 Berlinetta with the 812 Superfast. Interestingly the 812 Superfast is a lot more well known compared to the F12, probably because the 812 is a lot more powerful and it stands out as a more attractive car.

I think the F12 Berlinetta is a bit of a forgotten Ferrari model that deserves more recognition than what it has currently. Even though the looks may have not stood out compared some of Ferrari’s other models it was quite powerful for its time and had good all around performance. 

And one of the most important things for me personally, the F12 was one of the Ferrari’s of my childhood so it’s a special car for me and I hope that more people know about this special car.

Porsche 911 Carrera S

November 15th is the 1st anniversary of the Fast Entertainer blog and it is a pretty special occasion which is why it feels like the right time to make a post about the supercar that started it all. The very first supercar that I have documented. The Porsche 911 Carrera S. This is the actual car which I spotted and photographed. You can see it has a nice red color, all black wheels and even a spoiler in the back. You can also see the Carrera S name on the side of the car. I later found out the Porsche 911 Carrera S is a slightly better variant compared to the base 911 as well which is why I was very happy this happened to be my first documented find. I have of course seen or spotted many supercars since then and I have been able to document them. But the first find is a special one and I am glad that it was something like this. The Porsche 911 Carrera S I will always remember for being the car responsible for me starting my mission to document supercars which eventually lead to the c...

The Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica is the newest Huracan variant that was launched. It is a mid level variant positioned in between the normal Evo variant and the top end track focused STO variant. The Huracan Tecnica is powered by a 631 horsepower V10, so even though it isn’t as powerful as the STO it is still a pretty powerful car by itself. The car reaches a top speed of 325 kmph as well, so the Tecnica is a great package for those who want a faster Huracan that is still road friendly and not track focused. The Huracan Tecnica has some visible exterior changes as well. The general looks are a lot sharper and more aggressive compared to the regular Huracan especially with the black bits at the front. There are a wide variety of customization options as well for owners to spec their car as per their liking, like a carbon fiber hood. Knowing Lamborghini’s pattern of launching and replacing their two supercars with only a short gap and the Aventador already being replaced by the Revuelto j...

Ferrari SF90 XX

The Ferrari SF90 Stradale is already an incredible car by itself, having a total of 1000 hp being powered by a hybrid V8 engine, a top speed of 300+ kmph and a super powerful acceleration. It makes the SF90 Stradale one of Ferraris most powerful cars currently. But if there is one thing you need to know about Ferrari it’s that they will always find a way to enhance some of their fastest production cars and make them even more powerful, usually by creating a high performance or track focused variant that is limited edition. Ferrari have made several of these types of supercars already with the 458 Speciale, 488 Pista, F12 TDF and the 812 Competizione for example. Now it’s the SF90 Stradale’s turn. Meet the Ferrari SF90 XX. So the SF90 XX is said to have 1016 hp and increased downforce among other improvements. There’s also several exterior changes such as an added spoiler, the option to have either yellow or orange colored vents and the overall race car like design that has been put on ...
