Ferrari for Christmas

Guess what this lawmaker got for Christmas.

We thought this lawmaker was a bad boy but apparently he’s so nice that Santa gave him a yellow Ferrari over the holidays to add to his collection of supercars.

The lawmaker, one of the few Ferrari connoisseurs this part of the world, took his Ferrari F12tdf (which stands for “Tour de France”) for a spin in Manila’s streets that were traffic-free during the holidays.

The F12tdf is a limited-edition variant of the F12 coupe, designed to acknowledge the Tour de France endurance road race (not the bicycle race). Ferrari won four consecutive runnings of the Tour de France in the 1950s and 60s. With a 780-hp V12 engine, the F12tdf can blitz to 100 kph in 2.9 seconds and to 200 kph in 7.9 seconds. The supercar features various upgrades that make it ideal for a track day, such as one-piece brake calipers and aerodynamic enhancements. A torque-vectoring system combined with rear-wheel steering helps “less expert drivers” handle all that power. Only 799 units of the supercar will be produced.

Our Buzzard spotted the P25-million beast parked along with a white Ferrari owned by a contractor in Bonifacio Global City.

The F12tdf is as fast as the LaFerrari and we’re sure this lawmaker will have a hard time choosing which ‘Fezza’ to drive once his prized hybrid car arrives on Philippine shores after stashing it overseas. —GIL CABACUNGAN
