Ferrari has finally released their much anticipated 2016 Ferrari F12tdf, which is now not only the fastest, but also the most expensive front-engined Ferrari ever made. This amazing sports car was limited to just 799 examples, which have already sold out. The 2016 Ferrari F12tdf comes with a price tag of $490 thousand!
The F12tdf was named for the famed Tour de France race, and the car is considered to be a track-focused special edition of Ferrari's F12 grand tourer, which debuted in 2012. In order to own one of these bad boys, prospective owners had to have already owned at least five Ferraris. The 2016 F12tdf features a 6.3-liter V-12 engine capable of 769 horsepower, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. This super luxury car reaches a top speed of 215 miles per hour with a stunning 0 to 60 mph time of just 2.8 seconds.

The 2016 Ferrari F12tdf is equipped with carbon fiber throughout the vehicle, ensuring both lightness and strength. It also comes with form-fitting bucket seats that provide comfort and support during high-speed driving. This rear-wheel drive car holds two passengers and has two doors. The F12tdf utilizes direct fuel injection and has a fuel economy of 11 to 12 miles per gallon in the city and 16 mpg on the highway, making it a thrilling yet relatively practical choice for car enthusiasts. Competing against cars like Lamborghini's Aventador LP750-4 and McLaren's 675LT, the F12tdf stands out in the luxury sports car market.
At nearly half a million dollars, Ferrari has really outdone themselves with their newest version of the F12tdf. With this now being the luxury carmaker's most expensive front-engined model, you may be wondering how it compares to the most expensive Ferrari ever sold. That distinction goes to a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, which sold to businessman Craig McCaw for $35 million in 2011. Perhaps someday a 2016 Ferrari F12tdf will break that record.
