When you say Ferrari, you immediately say beauty, power, class, elegance: in one word, icon. An eternal, timeless, universal symbol of cars.
Absolute excellence in motoring ed Italian pride, the Ferrari sThey are among the most loved cars in the world and a true transversal symbol desired at every latitude.
Since the beginning, when Enzo Ferrari launched his automotive and racing ‘challenge’, the Cavallino has become a sort of metaphor for beauty combined with safety.
Ferraris, for everyone, are wonderful cars nnot only from the point of view of technology, mechanics, and proverbial elegance: they are fast cars.
Imagine a Ferrari and a Formula 1 Grand Prix, great champions at full speed who win, or the road Ferraris who they speed by, uncatchable.
Ferrari, the incredible case, the slowest ever
Yet, as with everything, there is always the exception that proves the rule. And if the rule is speed, we also have the exception of the Ferrari which goes slowly, or rather, very slowly: the slowest Ferrari ever, the one that has been renamed the Cavallino’s horseless car: what model are we talking about? Perhaps the experts will already know this, because it is a very emblematic case.
This is the F12tdf model. In practice it was a Ferrari that could not exceed 24 kilometers per hour: something unthinkable, in general terms, let alone when compared to other Ferraris. Yet, the F12 TDF was truly the slowest in the world. It could not exceed 24 km per hour: it was a prototype based on the F12 Berlinetta as a test ‘mule’.
The slowest Ferrari in the world: no one believes it
The engine was detuned so that it did not exceed 24 kilometers per hour, and was used as a means of display. But why exactly the speed of 24 km per hour? And was it street legal or not?
Of course, many questions remain in the minds of those who imagine Ferraris in a completely different way, and it is clear that a model of this kind, with such an incredible but true story, ends up attracting attention by making its own story a viral page, especially in this social era. Who knows if all the others Ferrari who took inspiration from this model have never been limited to 24 kilometers per hour: probably, it is simply impossible to even think of such a thing. But it certainly represents one of the most evocative pages of the incredible story of the Ferraris of Maranello.
