Why 5.5: A 6.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 spinning past 8,000 rpm sits at the top of every lens Ferrari has ever built — the chassis and steering are genuinely sharp for a car this size, refined further by the 812 that replaced it. The rear end earned a reputation for nervousness at the limit early in its life, the one lens keeping this out of 812 territory.

The long version

Ferrari replaced the 599 GTB Fiorano with this car in 2012, cutting real weight and adding a V12 that revved higher and hit harder, and period reviewers rated the chassis among the best Ferrari had built to that point. That same aggressive rear-end balance produced a handful of well-publicized crashes in the car's early years, feedback Ferrari answered with the 812 Superfast's added rear-wheel steering and revised electronics rather than with any running change to the F12 itself. Values slid after the 812 arrived and stayed soft for years, which makes this the more attainable way into that exact V12 recipe today.
