Last reviewed:
Unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, the F12berlinetta replaced the 599 series and held the front‑engined V12 flag until the 812 Superfast arrived in 2017. UK list price at launch was £239,736 before options, and most cars left Maranello with £30,000–£60,000 of extras. The F12’s hardware is the F140FC 6,262 cc naturally aspirated V12, rated at 740 PS (730 bhp) at 8,250 rpm and 509 lb ft (690 Nm) at 6,000 rpm, driving the rear wheels through a 7‑speed dual‑clutch gearbox. Ferrari quoted 0–62 mph in 3.1 seconds and 211 mph. Weight distribution is 46:54 front to rear. Ferrari’s stated dry weight is 1,525 kg; UK‑spec cars typically sit around 1,630–1,680 kg kerb depending on options.
Market & values
Prices, market context and value bands
Standard F12berlinetta money in the UK sits around £120,000–£180,000 today, with the top of that band reserved for low‑mileage, UK‑supplied RHD cars in strong colours and with complete Ferrari main‑dealer history. Imports, higher mileages and weak specs pull values down.

Servicing, running costs and major bills
Expect heavyweight but predictable outgoings. A well-kept, UK‑supplied F12 run with a good independent will want an annual service and a sensible tyre budget; insurance sits in the high hundreds to low thousands depending on mileage and storage. The big liabilities are carbon‑ceramic brakes and the dual‑clutch gearbox if mistreated.

Where to look and how to source an example
For cars still within roughly eight to ten years of first registration, franchised main dealers and their approved‑used programmes are the obvious first stop; once a model ages, stock and knowledge tend to concentrate with marque specialists and the better independents.
