F12's successor and Maranello's flagship front-engined V12. F140 6.5 V12 NA grown from the F12's 6.3, 789 bhp at 8,500 rpm — Superfast Coupe arrived 2017, GTS retractable hardtop joined 2019. 812 Competizione (2021) is the lightweight track special — 819 bhp, 9,500 rpm, 599 Coupes; Aperta is the open-top sister, 599 cars too, both sold-out instantly to existing Ferrari customers. Probably the last NA V12 GT Ferrari without electrification — the 12Cilindri replacing it keeps the engine but wraps it in new clothes. Buy a Superfast for the engine, a Competizione for collectibility.
