Ferrari F60 America : USA! USA!

Published on October 10, 2014 in News by Frédérick Boucher-Gaulin

When you think about American motoring, you immediately think big engine, amazing looks, earth-shattering sound and enjoying the sun and the wind through a convertible top.

That is exactly what Ferrari created to celebrate its 60 years of operation on American soil: the F60 America is a limited-run edition of only 10 units, and they have all been sold. While it is based on the F12 Berlinetta, the whole car has been modified. Nearly every single body panel is different, the interior receives a load of composite-material accents, the seats are adorned with the American flag and the fenders feature a special badge commemorating the six decades of Ferrari’s American history. The blue paint job is a tribute to the Ferrari North American Racing Team (NART).

The top of the standard F12 Berlinetta has been replaced with a set of anti-roll hoops covered in carbon fibre. When the weather is uncooperative, a cloth top can be raised electrically, as long as the car is not doing over 120 km/h.

Under the hood, Ferrari lightly massaged the V12 engine, which now produces 740 horsepower, and coupled with a seven-speed double-clutch gearbox, is sufficient to propel the car to 100 km/h in 3.1 seconds, about as fast as the F12 (when you consider the extra weight of a convertible mechanism, this is an achievement).

Each of these 10 unique Ferraris sold for $3.2 million US.
