Ferrari have unveiled a new monster – the F12 TDF. The name is a tribute to the Tour de France road race which the firm dominated in the 1950s and 60s, and the car is now slouch: it’s even faster than the F12Berlinetta from which it’s derived.

The TDF can do 0-62mph in just 2.9 seconds with its 6.3liter V12 churning out 769hp, up from 730hp on the standard F12. Despite that it’s totally road legal so if you’ve got some spare change you could have one of these in your driveway any day soon.

The bodywork’s also been given a thorough going over, with the front tires 8 per cent wider than on the F12 and all-new body panels, meaning the downforce is nearly doubled at 124mph thanks to totally revamped aerodynamics. The spoiler at the rear is 6cm longer and 3cm higher than on the standard model.

What goes up must come down, and the good news is that the new one-piece brake calipers, as seen on the LaFerrari, are so good that the car can come to a complete standstill from 62mph in just 30.5 meters.

Maximum torque is up from 509lb/ft to 520lb/ft at 6,750 rpm. The F12 TDF can lap the manufacturer’s Fiorano test track in 1 minute and 21 seconds, which is just 1.3 seconds slower than the LaFerrari.
