A notable feature is the Aero Bridge, an air channel running from the bonnet, through the flanks and along the sides of the vehicle, creating an effect that increases downforce. The F12berlinetta makes use of aerodynamic techniques based on Ferrari's 599XX and Formula One programmes, developed with wind tunnel and CFD testing. Compared to similar models, the F12berlinetta uses shortened gear ratios to match the power of the engine. Similar to the California, 458 Italia, FF and LaFerrari, the F12berlinetta transmits power through a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox operated by the driver using paddle shifters present behind the steering wheel. Ferrari reports that the F12berlinetta can achieve 18 mpg ‑imp (15.7 L/100 km 15.0 mpg ‑US) – a 30% improvement over the 599 – and produces CO 2 emissions of 350 g/km. The engine management system is fitted with Ferrari's HELE start-stop system to reduce fuel consumption when idling. The engine in the F12berlinetta has been designed to be more efficient than that of the 599, as well as more powerful. Displacement is shared with the FF, but the F140 FC version installed on the F12 generates a power output of 740 PS (544 kW 730 hp) at 8,250 rpm and 690 N⋅m (509 lb⋅ft) of torque at 6,000 rpm, making it the fourth most powerful Ferrari road car produced to date, only surpassed by the LaFerrari, F12tdf and its successor, the 812 Superfast. The F12berlinetta uses a 6,262 cc (6.3 L 382.1 cu in), naturally aspirated 65° V12 engine of the Ferrari F140 engine family.
Accepting the award was Ferrari's Senior Vice President of Design, Flavio Manzoni. In 2014, the F12berlinetta was awarded the XXIII Premio Compasso d'Oro ADI. The F12berlinetta was replaced by the 812 Superfast in 2017. The F12berlinetta was named "The Supercar of the Year 2012" by car magazine Top Gear. The naturally aspirated 6.3 litre Ferrari V12 engine used in the F12berlinetta has won the 2013 International Engine of the Year Award in the Best Performance category and Best Engine above 4.0 litres. The F12berlinetta debuted at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, and replaced the 599 grand tourer. The Ferrari F12berlinetta (Type F152) is a front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive grand tourer produced by Italian automobile manufacturer Ferrari.
