In celebration of Ferrari’s 60th anniversary in the United States, the brand has unveiled the F60America special edition.
The special edition supercar is based on the F12 Berlinetta, but the roof has been chopped and the entirety of the car is bathed in patriotic and classic racing livery.
Each asymmetrical seat features American flag stitching running down the middle, with a bold red and black theme separating driver from passenger. A lightweight fabric top completes the package can be operated at speeds up to 75 mph.
Both the front and rear fascia of the F60 feature subtle tweaks. At the bow, the edges of the front bumper have been elongated, extenuating the grill’s natural curve, and the hood now features dual venting.
Out back, the bodywork has been buffed and contoured, highlighting the vehicle’s muscular frame beneath. The rear bumper is almost entirely new, with unique splitters playing off the quad exhaust pipes and more pronounced taillights.
Instead of a fixed rear window, Ferrari has fastened two leather-trimmed roll hoops onto the trunk lid. Trimmed in carbon fiber, the hoops flow into flying buttresses that cascade down the rear of the car, giving it a retro-themed racing feel.
PRICE:
$2.5 million
EXTERIOR:
The overall design of the F60 still maintains the proportions of the sexy F12 coupe it is based on, but it adds a dash of excitement and visual aggression with a completely revised front end. The nose dips a little lower and comes to a subtle point, while the gaping mouth fish from the F12 has been abolished, replaced with a grin worthy of the Chesire Cat. Under that new smile is a sharper front lip with some lovely molded intakes that look to funnel air to the brakes. The hood features new vents, and the interesting “flying buttress” air channel near the A-pillar is now gone.
The rear end has been completely altered as well. While the front end looks incredible, the tail looks a little frumpy. New sculpting and vents in the rear bumper make the back look a bit like a grumpy frog. Seriously, just imagine a big frog scowling at you. A new duckbill style rear spoiler sits across the rear, adding a touch of sportiness, and the massive rear diffuser should help keep things planted at speed.
Of course, the biggest change is the loss of the car’s roof. Instead of a piece of aluminum across the top, the F60 features miles of open air, and the rear window has been replaced with a set of carbon and leather roll hoops that features extended sections that travel all the way to the tail of the car. These help to elongate the car and make it appear a little lower. Now this isn’t some sort of fancy convertible top, this car is a truly open air vehicle. Your only protection from the elements comes in the form of a light fabric “top” that can be placed across the top, but be sure to watch your speed. Ferrari says the cloth panel will only hold to 75 mph or so.
INTERIOR:
The interior receives nearly as many special features and design touches as the outside did. The thin carbon-backed racing buckets each come covered in leather and feature a stripe running up the centre that is white at the bottom and finished with a bright blue at the top that matches the exterior paint of the car. The passenger seat is black, but the driver’s seat is actually made from red leather. This is another homage to the racing machines of Ferrari’s past. More than the seat, Ferrari has done the entire driver’s cockpit in red. The centre console and main dash assembly are painted in gloss red paint, the bottom of the squared steering wheel has red leather, and the door panel is almost completely red.
DRIVETRAIN:
Despite the complete visual overhaul for this special edition, Ferrari has decided to leave the running gear completely untouched. That means that each of the 10 new owners of the F60 have access to a 6.3-liter V-12 that dumps 730 horsepower and 509 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual clutch transmission. The zero to 60 sprint is quoted at 3.1 seconds; no top speed has been given, but we expect it to be considerably less than the closed-top F12’s 225 mph.
FEATURES:
Ferrari F60 has the famous V60 engine which is capable of picking up speed from 0 to 100 mph in just 3.1 seconds. It has a 6.3-litre engine which is powered with 730 horsepower which makes 2015 Ferrari F60 the most powerful Ferrari ever made so far. The torque of the car is measured at 690 Nm. The top most speed of this car is 210 mph. This car also has 7 gear dual clutch transmission. Since its an open roof car there is always the danger of flying objects injuring you but a light fabric is available to avoid this and can be attached. The car cannot speed beyond 75 mph but with the fabric attached.TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
