Technical details
The new 3855 cm³ twin-turbo V8 produces 412 kW at 7500/min and 755 Nm at 4750/min. The seven-speed dual-clutch transmission received revised ratios, the MagneRide suspension was updated, and a new F1-Trac system was fitted. The car accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 3.6 seconds and reaches 196 mi/h. Large portions of the bodywork are made of aluminum to reduce weight and fuel consumption.
Design
The new front end was influenced by the F12, and the rear and interior were also revised. At the rear, four horizontally arranged exhaust pipes replace the previous vertically stacked pairs. According to German sources, the design shares styling cues with both the F430 and the 612 Scaglietti. The car was first revealed online on February 12, 2014, followed by its debut at the Geneva Motor Show.
Handling Speciale
As with its predecessor, a Handling Speciale package was available for sportier driving dynamics at the expense of ride comfort. It includes stiffer front and rear springs, retuned magnetorheological dampers, quicker gear shifts in Sport mode, reprogrammed F1-Trac, and a new sports exhaust system. Externally, it is distinguished by a matte gray grille and diffuser, as well as matte black diffuser fins and exhaust tips. It was presented in March 2016 at the Geneva Motor Show.
