The last in the world a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta needs is more power, since the car difficulties handling what it already has. Nevertheless, the guys at Mcchip-DKR have gone ahead and put together a new software for it that will increase the power out of the car’s V12 engine by 27 PS and 32 Nm. So as with the last F12 they tuned, the car now packs around 760 PS.
And why shouldn’t they? We know for a fact that Ferrari themselves is working – or rather have finished, since it is expected to be revealed at the upcoming IAA motor show – a hard-core version of the F12, allegedly called Ferrari F12 GTO. That car is said to be packing close to 800 horsepower.
Just about the only thing the extra power in the GTO and this Mcchip Ferrari F12 is good for is bragging rights. In the real world, you never get to use the standard 700something horsepower you get from that car to the full. But even if you do, a 30 or so more horses won’t make the big a difference in the performance of the vehicle, at least none that you can perceive without the aid of sophisticated measuring devices like a Vbox.
