There was a Tour de France with cars? Did not know that. Ferrari does, of course, because they apparently dominated it in the 50s and 60s, with cars like this 250 Tour de France (http://www.autoblog.com/2015/07/29/1956-ferrari-250-tour-de-france-could-fetch-11m-video/).

Ferrari has made a new Tour de France model, based on the F12, and it is FAST. Faster than the 488 GTB, only just over a second behind the LaFerrari at Fiorano, according to Ferrari's press release at AutoBlog (http://www.autoblog.com/2015/10/13/ferrari-f12-tdf-official/).
It's wider, lighter, has more horsepower and torque, brakes from the LaFerrari, four-wheel steering (which they're calling "Virtual Short Wheelbase"). And it looks pretty sweet.
