Texas Man Sells Rare 2017 Ferrari F12tdf for $960,000, New Owner Also Has a McLaren Senna

If you look at the 599 and the F12 side-by-side, it’s easy to tell they’re related. They’re the same “type” of car, if you will, but the design is so much more aggressive on the F12, it speaks volumes.

I mean, look, I would go as far as to say that the F12berlinetta is ahead of its time in terms of design. Don’t believe me? Look at the car Ferrari designed as its replacement, the 812 Superfast. Put them together and from certain angles (like front ¾ or 90 degrees front) you really can’t tell which is the newer model. Some people even prefer the design of the F12 over the 812, and that’s quite understandable. The latter looks prettier, but not necessarily in a good way – rather less aggressive and dynamic.

Anyway, the F12 took the car industry by storm right away, winning awards such as the 2013 International Engine of the Year, thanks to its incredible naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V12, rated at 730 horsepower and 509 lb-ft of torque – more powerful and more efficient than that of the 599 GTB Fiorano.

Fast-forward to 2015 and out came the F12tdf, which stands for Tour de France. This was a more track-focused variant of the F12berlinetta, paying homage by name to the Tour de France race which used to be dominated by the Ferrari 250 back in the mid-50s and mid-60s.

In terms of powertrain, the F12tdf has the same engine as the F12berlinetta, albeit with more “muscle” - 769 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque. The tdf is also lighter by 243 lbs, allowing you to hit 60 mph in about 2.8 seconds before maxing out in excess of 211 mph.

Limited to just 799 units, the F12tdf became so desirable that to this day you need to sell an arm and a leg in order to afford one. Case in point, this 2017 example sold for $960,000, despite having already covered 7,000 miles. It’s not a lot, but it’s not “barely driven” either.

The vehicle was purchased by the seller through Ferrari of Houston, Texas, and ended up in the hands of a buyer who also owns/has owned the likes of the McLaren Senna, a 2019 Corvette ZR1, a 2022 Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody Jailbreak, 2022 Lucid Air Grand Touring, 2006 Ford GT, 2012 Lexus LFA, a 2014 McLaren P1, plus a whole bunch of other supercars.

As for what makes this particular F12tdf special, well, it’s details such as its Rosso F1 exterior with Grigio Silverstone and Nero Stellato stripes, and the Daytona racing seats trimmed in Nero leather and Alcantara. It’s a fantastic looking spec.
