Tuned Ferrari F12 Berlinetta fails to sell for $250k

The sleek Italian Ferrari F12 Berlinetta looks almost reserved compared to badass hypercars like those from Bugatti and Rimac, so it becomes a natural go-to option for drivers seeking elegance in luxury. The owner of this particular example, however, did not appreciate its subtlety.

The four-year-old coupe sports a factory paintjob in glossy black, which the owner chose to adorn with Italian flag decals on the hood, roof, trunk, arches, and sides. The white, red and green stripes actually manage to look good and not out of place on the slim aerodynamic body.

Gone are the stock wheels, and HRE Performance staggered rims sized 20” front and 21” rear occupy their places now. Pirelli P Zero tires sport vivid red accents and fill out the wells perfectly thanks to Novitec lowering springs. The front axle features a lift system for those pesky speed bumps, and there is a CFP front splitter.

The cabin is as fashionable as they get, with carbon-fiber bucket seats wrapped in red leather with white stitching and Alcantara on the ceiling. The odometer reads 3,540 kilometers (2,200 miles).

As nice as the tuning may look to you, there is hardly any debating that stock supercars are always valued above modified ones. At a recently concluded auction, the F12 hit a top bid of U.S. $250,000, but failed to meet the reserve.
