Unveiled in October 2015, the F12 TDF, the most extreme version of the F12, which had appeared three years earlier to replace the 599 GTB, was given the name 'Tour de France' as a tribute to the Ferrari 250 Tour de France from 1956, which won the event for three years in a row, from 1957-1959. The designers took their inspiration from it for the louvres on each side of the body. Strongly track-focused, it was reserved for Ferrari's best customers, and only 799 cars were delivered. Under the bonnet, the 6.3-litre V12 from the F12 Berlinetta was pushed to the limit, with a stated power output of 780 bhp at 8500 rpm, and was mated to an F1 gearbox with 6% faster changes. It could accelerate from 0-100 kph in 2.9 seconds and from 0-200 kph in 7.9 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 340 kph! Its weight was reduced through the extensive use of carbon-fibre, and it tipped the scales at only 1415 kg. It was also notable for being the first Ferrari with four-wheel steering. The Ferrari F12 TDF is undoubtedly one of the greatest GTs of the modern era, reviving a layout which laid the foundations of the company's success.

This F12 TDF was sold new by the dealer Autoropa from Arlöv in Sweden on 21 January 2016. Over the next seven years, it was serviced twice by Monaco Motors and three times by Pozzi in Paris, covering a total of only 449 km. The 'Bianco Avus 100' paintwork is completely original and quite flawless, as is the 'Nero 9440' Alcantara upholstery. There is a list of some 30 options on a plaque in the boot. This shows that the interior, including the wider seats, is entirely trimmed in Alcantara and carbon-fibre. The car is fitted with 'Rosso Scuderia' brake callipers, a sports exhaust and a reversing camera. The rev counter with its optional yellow dial is most attractive, as are the 'Cavallino' logos embroidered on the head restraints. The optional integrated 'Sound system' was also specified. All its accessories are present: both sets of keys, the covers for the body, seats and steering wheel, the complete tool kit, a pair of gloves with the Ferrari logo, the battery charger with its cover, the tyre inflation compressor and the number plate mount. It comes of course with all its handbooks and its service booklet, which is fully stamped and up to date. A 'must have' for any Ferrari collector or investor.
