Introduced to the public at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show->ke228 and launched for the 2013 model year, the Ferrari F12berlinetta quickly became one of the most desirable grand tourers on the market. The F12 came to replace Ferrari->ke252's previous 2-seat berlinetta, the 599->ke395. Built around an aluminum space frame chassis, the F12 brought numerous improvements to the 599. as it was 20 percent more rigid and 150 pounds lighter, and the new chassis also allowed Ferrari to lower the car's center of gravity by one inch. For 2014, the F12berlinetta has spawned a special edition coming all the way from China. Dubbed Polo Edition, this unique F12berlinetta was crafted by Ferrari's first Tailor-Made Center in Asia Pacific and reaches into the spotlight to celebrate the Chinese Year of the Horse.

This new model was inspired by the game of polo (not the fancy golf shirts), a horseback team sport played in Asia for more than 2,000 years. The one-off F12 also pays tribute to the company's passion for speed and racing. A prancing horse that celebrates horse racing, if you will.

Ferrari F12berlinetta Polo Edition in detail

Just like the Ferrari FF Dressage, the F12berlinetta Polo Edition is wrapped in a special coat of paint -- in the FF Polo Edition's case it is a white hue called Bianco Italia Opaco. Complementing the white suit is a set of Navy Blue stripes added to evoke Ferrari's racing DNA. As intended, this F12 reminds us of the rare white Ferraris that used to storm the race tracks back in the late 1950s.

The racing->ke447 theme continues in the cockpit, where it blends brilliantly with the F12's luxurious and sporty attributes. The sports seats are trimmed in dark-blue and white leather, with additional white stripes running from the seating surface nearly all the way to the top. White contrast stitching highlights the dashboard and oozes onto the door panels. Rounding off the cabin are several carbon-fiber inlays that pay tribute to Ferrari's more recent racing history.

The Italians make no mention of the car's powertrain, so it's safe to assume the 6.3-liter, V-12 engine is still stock. That's far from being a drawback though, as the unit cranks out 740 horsepower and 508 pound-feet of torque. Routed to the wheels by means of an seven-speed, F1 dual-clutch transmission, the oomph enables the F12berlinetta to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds. Along with that comes a top speed of 211 mph and an eargasm-inducing exhaust note.
