Kimi Raikkonen in The Ferrari F12 Berlinetta

A group of journalist took part in a special F12Berlinetta track day at Fiorano.  Assisted by Ferrari's engineers and team test-drivers, they were given the opportunity to really clock up the mile as they endeavored to push both themselves and the car to the limit.  The group learned to really use the 740 hp unleashed by the mid-front V12 engine and the sporty car's brilliant natural balance to the fullest as well. The wet track also allowed the journalists t experiment with the different Manettino settings to push the car's performance in a variety of grip levels.  But all the dynamic controls were off when Scuderia Ferrari driver Kimi Räikkönen got behind the wheel and provided some very special instructions.  The guests enjoyed the thrill of lapping Fiorano at the World Champion's side as he gave vent to the Ferrari F12Berlinetta's awesome power, delivering not only a record performance in the fastest car in the Ferrari range, but also great fun.

World premiere of the FXX K at the Ferrari Finali Mondiali
Ferrari’s new FXX K research and development programme will receive its world premiere next weekend at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. The laboratory-car is based on Maranello’s first hybrid model and will grace the world’s tracks from next year onwards. The K in its moniker is a reference to the “KERS” kinetic energy recovery system it adopts in maximising its track performance.  Unfettered by homologation and racing regulations, the FXX K will never be used in competition. It was, in fact, developed to be completely uncompromising, incorporating technological innovations that will guarantee an unprecedented driving experience to the exclusive group of Client-Test Drivers with whom the Prancing Horse will roll out a test programme over the coming two years.

Ferrari to Music: A Recital by a renowned Composer at The Ferrari Museum
Cesare Picco, the composer and pianist renowned for his famous Blind Date concerts which take place in complete darkness, was invited by design director Flavio Manzoni to meet the style center team in the Trophy Room at the Ferrari Museum in Maranello for an evening with improvisation as its main theme. Picco declared he felt honored by the invitation to Ferrari because "there is no difference between the arts regardless of whether you are talking about music, design or painting and this reciprocal exchange helps us to improve.  When you design a car like the ones that come out of Maranello or compose a piece of music, you need to be good at what you do to be able to create under stress.  It is only when there is a combination of technical and personal growth that you can push yourself beyond your limits."
