599's replacement and the last front-engined V12 Ferrari before the 812. F140 6.3 V12 NA, 730 bhp, 8,700 rpm — most powerful naturally aspirated road-going Ferrari at launch. Two-seat Coupe only, no convertible. F12tdf (2015-2017) is the track-bred lightweight: 779 bhp, rear-wheel steering, 799 cars built — already a six-figure-plus collectible. The base F12 itself is the value play in front-engined V12 Ferraris — beneath 575M-money for early cars by 2026 standards, but a proper modern Maranello GT.
