TDF and F12

To me it is like trying to compare apples and pears - they are both fruit but they look different and produce different results. The tdf is a honed F12 and it comes down to personal choice,the emotional impact and for some, money if the comments are anything to go by.

I have driven both a lot and I own a tdf, which I prefer over the F12, as I find it a more pure experience. I also find it more stable in the wet, which surprises me. It is also, eye achingly beautiful (see photos).

i don’t miss the front brake flaps as they periodically fail.

At the end having either car, or indeed any Ferrari, is a pleasure to be embraced.

Thank you for your perspective. I would say based on your number plate that I would "Listen like thieves" to your post, because the TDF is "The One Thing" which is "What you need" when you feel the "Devil inside"- it so good, its always a "New Sensation"

 

Great pics...thanks for sharing.

HAHA

 

What a great sentence and you are right the number plate reflects the tdf and my personalities- we are both excessive compulsives

Here is a bonus!

 

I have both the F12 and the tdf and in my opinion the latter has better handling and is far more exhilarating. Two cars with different missions

 

I 100% agree with this statement. I no longer have my F12 but do still have the TDF. I can say the TDF is such a raw experience that the F12 doesn't provide. F12 is a phenomenal car but very different. Every time I consider selling the TDF, I know that I will regret it. The direction that the brand is headed makes me believe there will not be another car quite like the TDF, will be interesting to see what happens with the 812 lightweight model.

 

Hi Armen,

Could you give me a little info on the driving characteristics of the 599 vs the f12 ? and also when do you prefer to use which one etc ?

cheers

As a driver, I prefer the F12. That is the one Ferrari I own that I can almost drive daily. I only treat myself when I take out the 599. I don't drive it too often. Its just a kick in the pants. The sound is the one thing that stands out more than anything. I only have 750 miles on that car, so I really don't get the most out of it. I have a few cars I drive and a few I cherish and enjoy just having.
I hope that makes (kinda) sense

 

I love my F12

( exhaust note - comfort - ferrari experience - V12 )

I can drive it every day.

Well done! Needs to be at least 45 years old to follow you, lol.

 

Rossa Corsa looks amazing. Nice TDF wheels! Where did you get them?

 

So cool and they also provided a video about how they made that model.
