With the use of impressive and highly complicated computer and wind tunnel simulations, the F12 has been designed to slip through the air thanks to a 76% increase in downforce and a significant reduction in drag (the drag coefficient is just 0.299 versus 0.336 for the 599).
To help in the aerodynamics department, an 'Aero Bridge' has been created, which uses the bonnet to create downforce by channeling airflow down the sides of the car. Active Brake Cooling is another innovation, opening up vanes - much like the 458's front splitter - to send air into the brake cooling ducts at high speed.

The problem with this Ferrari is the same problem with every other Ferrari for a long time now. Ferrari is constantly trying to do simple stuff in different ways which in most cases result in a red rubbish box on 4 wheels (sometimes its black). Let’s be honest - it’s not the best looking Ferrari (or anywhere near)
Never the less - this car would have been a success if Lambo had also messed up with the Aventador - unfortunately for Ferrari - Aventador didn’t mess up, The Aventador is the absolute perfect, mind blowing, technology pushing and most importantly amazing looking machine and all this makes this car look and feel worse than what it is.
Am sorry Ferrari and Ferrari owners, Ferrari lovers, Ferrari this and Ferrari that - this car isn’t the Ferrari we was hoping to see.
