Although it was launched about two years ago, the outrageously powerful Ferrari F12berlinetta has never posted an official Nurburgring->ke999 lap time. That might come to an end soon, according to TouriClips, which just released a video showing what appears to be an F12berlinetta lapping the 'Ring with some measuring equipment on board.

The source claims the Italians showed up for testing at the German course and had the "Green Hell" to themselves for about half an hour, just enough to post a quick lap. TouriClips claims to have timed the F12berlinetta at 7:48 minutes, which, due to his positioning on the track, includes about 40 seconds of cool down time the Ferrari->ke252 took between the T13 and Hatzenbach sections of the Nordschleife.

Simple mathematics suggest the F12berlinetta completed a full lap of the 'Ring in only 7:08 minutes, which would put it on par with the Nissan GT-R Nismo. As impressive as it may sound, TouriClips timing leaves room for a lot of error and we suggest you take the said benchmark with a grain of salt. Should Ferrari post on an official lap for the F12berlinetta, we'll be right back to report it.

Meanwhile, the Enzo->ke389 remains the fastest Ferrari-badged production car to lap the "Green Hell". The supercar->ke177 achieved its benchmark in 2008, when Marc Basseng completed a lap in 7:25.7. As far as non-road-legal Ferraris are concerned, the 599XX needed only 6:58.16 minutes to lap the 'Ring in 2010.

Although the F12berlinetta's presence on the Nordschleife is still a mystery, the video is definitely worth a watch. Be sure to pump up the volume, there's a 6.3-liter V-12 waiting to pierce your eardrums.
