Ferrari F12 Berlinetta

If you hire a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, you will be taking the wheel of one of the world’s ultimate contemporary supercars. On paper, it’s a traditional two-seater sports car with its engine under the hood in the front driving the rear wheels.

But this is no ordinary engine: the F12’s non-turbo V12 helps the car to sensational performance on the road. Helped by the ultra-light aluminium body, the F12 accelerates to 60mph from a standstill in around three seconds and has a top speed over 220mph. When the car was launched, the company announced that the F12 was the fastest-ever production Ferrari.

You’ll be able to experience the thrill of driving this extraordinary machine while cosseted within a superb leather seat. There may be only two seats but the cabin is a fabulous blend of classic luxury and high-tech gadgets. Supercar features to look out for include the carbon-ceramic brakes reputed to last for 100,000 miles, state-of-the-art magnetic dampers, seven-speed semi-automatic gearbox and an anti-theft satellite tracking system.

And, unusually for a 220mph supercar, there’s even a large trunk.
