The launch of a new Ferrari is always an occasion to be celebrated.

IT’S called the F12 and with a top speed of 211mph it should have been a jet fighter.

Fortunately, the F12 is touched by genius, a masterpiece of advanced race car technology and a beautiful piece of sculpted motoring art.

Driving a Ferrari is always special. They have a magic only a handful of car makers get close to matching but that none can surpass.

And the F12berlinetta, even by Ferrari standards, is extra special to look at and drive.

It’s also the fastest ever road-going Ferrari.

Now I’m not religious but when they handed me the keys to the F12 on Sunday morning, I did a little prayer of thanks — there is a motoring
god.

The F12 is like a gorgeous woman in a bikini, —you just can’t take your eyes off her.

And those figures don’t get close to describing the adrenaline rush when you push the accelerator flat, as every sense in your body comes alive to the music of a Ferrari in full cry.

It is an immediate and unrelenting surge of power that, despite the ridiculous speeds, feels effortless and smooth.

As soon as you see the F12 you want to drive it and that’s what I did, from early in the morning until late at night when they forced me to hand back the keys.

There is, of course, only one major drawback for mere mortals like you and me — it starts at a few pence under £240,000.

But if I was a Ferrari nut like DJ Chris Evans or a Premier League footballer or just lucky enough to win the lottery I’d buy the F12 in a
flash.

If Ferrari were a religion I’d become a regular church-goer and preach the gospel according to St Ferrari of Maranello. Words of Motoring Editor Ken Gibson. Source
