It is that time of the year again. Time to look back at the highlights the previous twelve months. Today we do so by re-featuring some of our favourite cars launched in 2012. Topping our list and most others is the Ferrari F12berlinetta; the fastest car ever produced by the Italian manufacturer. It is smaller and lighter than Ferrari's range-topping model, yet also packs a bigger punch courtesy of its 730 bhp V12 and dual-clutch, seven-speed gearbox. The F12berlinetta will not remain Ferrari's fastest car for long as the all-new 'F150' super car is due in 2013. So it is not unlikely that come December, a Ferrari will top our list again.
Another star of the Geneva Motor Show was the Infiniti Emerg-E Concept. This is the boldest show car yet from the Japanese manufacturer and combines a striking exterior with an innovative drivetrain. This consists of two electric motors that produce a combined 402 bhp and 1000 Nm of torque, and a petrol engine that serves as a generator. We captured the Emerg-E both at its Geneva debut and in motion at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Aston Martin revived the Vanquish type name for its fastest production model. It still boasts the innovative 'VH' aluminium platform chassis and 6-litre V12. The styling is also familiar but with some new cues like the integrated rear wing. At the McCall Motorworks, we had the opportunity to look under the carbon-fibre skin of the new Vanquish.
Other cars that captured our attention were the highly anticipated Jaguar F-Type, the exotic Lamborghini Aventador Roadster and the ferocious Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series.
