The company's CEO Amedeo Felisa said that the 730HP supercar lapped the Fiorano circuit in 1’23’’, which is the fastest time ever recorded by a production Ferrari, including the mighty Enzo. It’s also 30 percent more frugal than the 599 it replaces, with an average consumption of 15 lt/100 km (15 mpg US).
Even though the supercar, which made its Asian debut at Beijing, was the center of attention, the novelty that Ferrari displayed in China is the new powerplant that will power the next Enzo, rumored to be called the F70.

The Carscoop reader who we've come to know by the alias "Lil-k Amaru" has whipped up quick rendering of what a spider version of the new Ferrari supercar may look like if Maranello were to create such a version.
Being that 'berlinetta' literally means little saloon in Italian and is used for two-seater coupes, we imagine that the open-top variant could be named something like F12spider. A high-resolution version of the opening picture can be viewed after the jump.
Displayed in two new colors (Rosso Berlinetta and Aluminium), the V12-engined F12berlinetta is the most powerful as well as the fastest road model to ever roll out of the gates of Via Abertone Inferiore n.4.

And why would we as both the new Ferrari F12berlinetta and the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 are amongst the crème de la crème of their category. Did we mention that they both have at least 700-stallions under their hoods?
But aesthetics are always very subjective, and what we would like you to tell us by voting in our poll and why not, elaborate in the comments section below, is from what you have seen up until now, which one of these two exotic Italians is the better looking supercar?

For those of you seeking to waste some time, the online tool allows you to customize the exterior of the front-engined supercar through a wide choice of colors together with three different alloy wheels options and several finishes for the brake calipers.

Billed as the fastest and most powerful regular production Ferrari in history, the F12berlinetta sports a 6.3-liter naturally-aspirated V12 engine that produces 730HP (740PS), which translates to a specific output of 116HP per liter. It also delivers a peak torque of 690Nm or 508.9 lb-ft, 80 percent of which is available at just 2,500 rpm, while it can rev up to 8,700 rpm.
The 12-cylinder unit is linked to an F1 dual-clutch transmission with close gear ratios that drives the rear wheels.
Ferrari says that the F12berlinetta accelerates from 0-100 km/h (62mph) in 3.1 seconds and from zero to 200 km/h (124mph) in 8.5 seconds en route to a top speed in excess of 340km/h (211mph+) adding that it also completes a lap of the Fiorano circuit in 1.23", faster than any other Ferrari road car.
