Rides : Check Out The Ferrari F12 Berlinetta by DMC

The aftermarket specialists at DMC have recently pulled the wraps off their latest creation, an upgrade program for the brand new Ferrari F12 Berlinetta.

The Ferrari F12 Berlinetta is the fastest ever road going supercar to be produced by the Maranello based automaker and after receiving some upgrades over the past few months, time has come for DMC to show its muscles. The tuning company has developed a carbon fiber body kit which increased the aggressive looks of the supercar, the stock hood has been replaced by a carbon fiber version, a prominent new lip splitter has been added, the side skirts have been modified and a spoiler wing, inspired by the 599XX has been fitted.
The looks of the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta are being completed by a fresh set of 21-inch rims for the front and 22-inch rims in the rear, wrapped in 255/30 and 332/25 Pirelli Sport tires, front to rear. The most significant upgrade can be found under the hood of the Italian supercar, where the model is now able to produce a total output of 764 HP (562 kW) from the standard 740 HP (544 kW) 6.2 liter V12 engine, thanks to the installation of a custom titanium exhaust system. Top speed has also increased to almost 350 km/h (217 mph).

Rides : Ferrari auctioning first F12 Berlinetta in North America for Sandy relief

Stop lurking around your local Ferrari retailer, as the first F12 Berlinetta set to arrive on North American soil won't be sold through traditional channels. Instead, the Italian automaker will auction off its all-new flagship in Texas next weekend in an effort to help victims of Hurricane Sandy. According to Ferrari, proceeds from the special event will be donated directly to the American Red Cross (the money will be earmarked specifically to support the relief efforts).

The special Ferrari will be painted in Rosso Berlinetta with choice of black or cuoio (read: camel) upholstery. Special options will be available (e.g., the buyer may ask for its hood to be signed by F1 drivers) and the coupe will be delivered with an official letter recognizing its status as the first in North America. As an added benefit, the new owner may attend the Ferrari Corso Pilota driving course at a location of their choice (Fiorano, Italy or Mont-Tremblant, Canada).

Those looking to get in on the action should contact their local Ferrari dealership to bid in person, absentee or over the telephone. For those who can't swing the $300,000-plus price tag, Ferrari has also set up a special Ferrari-American Red Cross contribution page.
