In the 1970, Carrera offered 1:24, 1:32 and 1:60 scales for slot cars, and the slot-free "Servo" systems which allowed cars to switch lanes, guided by the guard rails on the outside. Due to the many systems offered, and fewer customers (Generation), Neuhierl had to sell his company in 1985, and took his own life. The new owners sold rather cheap products.

Engine

Wheelsandmore worked on improving the Berlinetta software and adjusted flow optimization elements. The stock V12 engine receives an extra 45 HP with the aid of adjusting the flow. So it goes from 740 horsepower to 785 horsepower. The German tuners also improved the exhaust system that allows the engine to breathe properly. Equipped with a remote control system, the exhaust valves can be regulated by the driver, modifying the volume.

Performance

They have also lowered the Berlinetta by 30 millimeters, thanks to the sports springs upgrade, which increases the downforce on the car, improving road handling while steering at high speeds. The tire upgrades provide better traction and control. To achieve this, Wheelsandmore replaced the stock tires with 21 inch wheels for the front and 22 inch for the back.

Exterior

The F12 Berlinetta version presented by Wheelsandmore does not have visible enhancements other than the black stripe that goes from the front of the car over the hood and to the rear spoiler. Carbon fiber parts are under development and will be released sometime in the future.

The 2012 Wheelsandmore Ferrari F12 Berlinetta focuses on performance and driving dynamics. The final upgrade kit include carbon fiber elements for the body of the car, reducing its weight and enhancing the aerodynamics. Currently, the tuned version is one-of-a-kind but the German tuners plan to develop upgrade kits for the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. All items will be available for custom paint and artwork.
