Allow me to give you a little back story as in how I started my passion for cars. Ever since I remember about myself there has always been something in me that would ignite and send shivers down the back of my spine when seeing or hearing a special car. The love for cars may have been shown to me by my uncle who is a real petrolhead and has a great passion for cars and bikes. When I was a little boy (2-3 years old) he would take me in my stroller around the parking lot and I would name all the cars makes and models. So I can really say that cars have been a lifelong passion of mine.

Why the F12?

You may be wondering why I chose specifically the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta for my entry. Well to give you an answer to that question it is very difficult to put into words for someone else to understand unless you are a true petrolhead or have a strong passion for something like me which I am sure you do. To me when it came to deciding what car to model there were 3 cars that imediatelly poped up in my head:

Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, Aston Marting DBS 2006 and the 964 Porsche 911 3.6 turbo.

These cars to me are THE cars, these models are my poster cars, the ones I always looked up to and dreamed of one day owning. I remember the Ferrari F12 vividly when it came out and when I watched the iconic Jeremy Clarkson review of it on Top Gear. I fell in love immediately! It was everything to me done right, the car, the engine, the noise, the engineering, the passion with which Jeremy was describing the car....I felt like I was in the car.

That is why I instantly knew I wanted to 3D model the F12, it was a car I absolutely love coupled with a strong challenge for me to model all the curves and those air channels. With its revolutionary ways of channeling the air around it and creating downforce, humongous air channels on the bonnet continuing to the fenders, air flaps that open in the front splitter to create cooling for the brakes, the enormous hips in the back.... To me the whole package is almost perfect, how can you not love a V12 in the front, drive in the back, incredible symphony by the V12, curves for days, stunning interior, and a gorgeous breathtaking exterior?

So yes, it was a no-brainer to me to model this machine!
