Ferrari reveals limited edition F60 America

The Italian supercar creators have decided to celebrate 60 years of selling cars in the US with a special open-top version of the Ferrari F12, which has been suitably named the F60 America.

Only 10 units of this super exclusive supercar will be offered to American collectors for a hefty $2.5million (£1.5million), all of which have been snapped up already.

So what are buyers getting for their money? The F60 America is more than just an F12 with its roof removed, the front and rear end of the car has been redesigned. With the addition of sculpted aero-dynamic aprons and side vents, a more pronounced rear diffuser and tail lights that now protrude from the bodywork, it gives the car a more aggressive and purpose built look all round.

In addition to this, the car has been enhanced further with diamond cut wheels and a new bonnet that forces air down through the cars wings. Carbon-fibre trimmed roll hoops peer over the cockpit, which has been kitted out in a two-tone black and red colour scheme that separates the passenger from the driver. This two-tone effect is said to represent the 1960’s North American Racing Ferraris. The dash and gauges are awash of eye-popping candy red paint and carbon fibre, while the miss-matched seats have an American flag inset.

The America is powered by the same 6.3-litre V12 that rests in the F12, which delivers 730bhp to the rear wheels and is controlled via a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The car is capable of reaching 0-62mph in an eye-watering 3.1 seconds but the top speed has yet to be confirmed.

However, Ferrari have pointed out that the fabric roof that comes with the car must be put on manually and more importantly will only be guaranteed to stay on the car at speeds up to 75mph.

The F60 America will be properly unveiled to the world on 11^th October 2014 in Beverley Hills.
