# Ferrari Drops Audio of the F12 TDF Lapping Fiorano

The new Ferrari F12 TDF is almost too sinister. It’s a faster, lighter, meaner version of what had been one of Ferrari’s lairiest cars to date, the F12berlinetta. And this new TDF version is the 769-horsepower answer to a [question no one was asking](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/467/owners-complain-f12-is-too-fast-ferrari-unveils-faster-f12-tdf>). LaFerrari brakes, faster shifts, four-wheel steering; a lily gilded in *giallo modena*, Dracula with an extra set of fangs. It’s visage has haunted us for a week; now, we hear its gorgon yell.

The place to go? [Soundcloud](<https://soundcloud.com/ferrari-gt>), because between amateur EDM tracks and R&B remixes is a freshly-stocked page of F12 TDF exhaust recordings. Want to hear what the car sounds like testing at Fiorano? In a word, vicious, but skip to 2 minutes, 20 seconds and [hear for yourself](<https://soundcloud.com/ferrari-gt/1-giro-10-24-giro-fiorano?in=ferrari-gt/sets/152-vs>). They miked the [interior](<https://soundcloud.com/ferrari-gt/f152vs-passaggi-av-interno?in=ferrari-gt/sets/152-vs>), the [exterior](<https://soundcloud.com/ferrari-gt/f152vs-passaggi-av-est?in=ferrari-gt/sets/152-vs>), and did no small number of [fly-bys](<https://soundcloud.com/ferrari-gt/f152vs-scalata-est?in=ferrari-gt/sets/152-vs>). Like most Ferrari engines, the noise meshes mechanical perfection, the rat-tat-tat of a launch-control, with something organic-seeming; on the way to making all that power, the F12 TDF produces an unholy noise. What did you expect from a tuned Enzo V12?
