EVO Compares New Ferrari F12berlinetta to 599 GTO


By now, you’ve probably read almost everything there is to know about the Ferrari F12berlinetta. Just four days ago, we also brought you the first two video reviews.

This time, Evo magazine has driven the fastest and most prancing horse ever - at least until the Enzo successor comes along later this year. Nothing to make a big fuss about, surely, since most leading publications will sample Maranello’s latest and, arguably, best supercar.

U Spot: Notice Anything Different About this Ferrari…GT Aperta?


Carscoop reader Jonathan Y. emailed us these pictures of a Ferrari SA Aperta with a few styling twists that he snapped in Switzerland.
