The Ferrari F12berlinetta was built for long roads
A naturally aspirated V12 up front, two seats behind it, and coachwork that blends performance with grand tourer proportions.
For us, the Ferrari F12berlinetta is precisely the kind of car that makes a road trip almost more important than the actual destination.
Ferrari itself described the F12 as a vehicle that combines extreme performance with long-distance capability.
And yet, a two-seater V12 Ferrari remains a dedicated sports car.
As soon as two people embark on an extended trip, luggage capacity quickly becomes a factor.
This is precisely where the ASPHALTKIND concept fits in: enabling more travel without altering the character of the car.
Is it possible to mount a roof box on a Ferrari F12?
In principle, a Ferrari F12berlinetta can indeed be equipped with a suitable roof box and carrier solution.
Naturally, there is no conventional roof railing.
Therefore, we first analyze the specific roof design and the vehicle architecture.
Where surface areas permit, alternative mounting solutions such as vacuum suction systems can be deployed.
For other vehicles, we develop bespoke mechanical attachment points.
We have already applied this methodology to Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, and McLaren models.
For us, the engineering solution always starts with the vehicle, not with a universal carrier.
740 hp V12 – yet a true Gran Turismo
The F12berlinetta features a 6.3-liter V12 producing 740 hp.
According to Ferrari, its top speed exceeds 340 km/h.
These figures underscore the caliber of vehicle that is being outfitted with additional storage capacity.
At the same time, the F12 is not an uncompromising track tool.
It stands firmly in the grand tradition of front-engined Ferrari GT models.
Precisely for this reason, we believe it is exceptionally well-suited to travel performance.
A V12 of this pedigree deserves to be driven on more than just short weekend blasts.
Roughly 400 liters of additional storage space transforms a two-seater.
Our Performance roof box provides approximately 400 liters of additional volume.
On a two-seater, this volume changes the travel experience far more profoundly than on a large SUV.
Luggage, jackets, shoes, and other travel essentials no longer need to be crammed into every last available centimeter inside the cabin.
Even longer trips for two can be planned with greater ease.
Above all, however, it changes the decision-making process in front of the garage.
When the luggage fits, there is one less reason not to take the Ferrari.
F12 instead of SUV: The journey is part of the experience
On paper, a large SUV would be more practical.
However, that is precisely not the point of a Ferrari road trip.
Driving through the Alps, crossing a mountain pass, or heading towards Northern Italy in the F12 is not merely a necessary transit.
It is an integral part of the experience.
The V12, the elongated proportions, and the direct connection to the vehicle make the journey itself exceptional.
For us, Travel Performance means that storage capacity rarely stands in the way of this decision.
A roof box must complement the lines of the F12
The F12 thrives on a very clean, aerodynamically defined form.
Therefore, we believe that a tall, generic plastic box would be the wrong approach.
Our performance roof box is deliberately designed to be low-profile and elongated.
Rather than visually detracting from the vehicle, it is engineered to integrate seamlessly into its proportions.
At the same time, carbon fiber enables a material aesthetic that harmonizes exceptionally well with a modern Ferrari.
A roof box on an F12 may attract attention; however, it must not look like an foreign body.
Carbon fiber, body color, or deliberately clean
We manufacture the ASPHALTKIND performance roof box in our dedicated fiber composite production facility in Germany.
We then tailor the finish precisely to the vehicle.
Options include, among others:
- Exposed carbon fiber
- Gloss black
- Matte black
- Custom body color paint finish
- custom stripes and graphics
- accent colors matching the vehicle
- ASPHALTKIND branding
- completely clean finish
This allows a classic red F12 to be fitted with a completely different roof box than a black or uniquely customized vehicle.
The roof box must match this specific Ferrari.
Performance does not end with the V12
On an F12, a roof-mounted product must do more than simply accommodate luggage.
This is why our development process has focused from the very beginning on aerodynamics, stability, lightweight construction, design, and precise vehicle integration.
Naturally, a roof box is not designed for maximum vehicle speed.
However, the car's performance capabilities illustrate why our development process does not use a standard family vehicle as a baseline.
The product must be approached from the same performance perspective as the vehicle on which it is mounted.
Frequently asked questions about the Ferrari F12 roof box
Is it possible to mount a roof box on a Ferrari F12berlinetta?
In principle, yes. Since the F12 does not feature conventional roof rails, the appropriate carrier solution must be custom-engineered to match the specific vehicle and roof design.
How much additional storage capacity does the ASPHALTKIND roof box provide?
The Performance roof box provides approximately 400 liters of additional volume.
Is the roof box made of carbon fiber?
Yes. We manufacture our Performance roof box in-house in Germany using advanced fiber-composite production methods.
Can the roof box be painted to match the Ferrari?
Yes. Exposed carbon fiber, custom paint to match the vehicle, gloss or matte black finishes, as well as customized accents and graphics, are all available.
Can the carrier system be removed?
That depends on the chosen technical solution. For compatible vehicles, flexibly removable vacuum-mount carrier systems can be utilized.
Ferrari F12 with roof box: A V12 belongs on the road
The F12berlinetta was not built primarily for practicality.
It was engineered to make long drives extraordinary.
Therefore, our objective is not to make the Ferrari sensible.
We simply aim to mitigate one of the practical deterrents that might otherwise discourage a longer journey.
Insufficient storage capacity.
That leaves only the most compelling question:
Which road shall we take?
