What you’re seeing here is the newest and fastest car to ever enter Ferrari‘s stable — the F12 Berlinetta. The beauty’s V12 churns out 740 horses with 509 lb-ft of torque, allowing the F12 to go from 0-62 mph in 3.1 seconds and 0-104 mph in just 8.5. Bless the. It’s also the fastest Ferrari to lap around Fiorano, Ferrari’s private test track, breaking the 599 GTO’s record of 1:24 by a whole second. Design-wise, the F12 Berlinetta has a redesigned suspension and gearbox which makes for a lower and more rearward center of gravity, resting roughly 54 percent of the weight over the rear tires.
Look for the new Ferrari F12 Berlinetta to make its debut at next week’s Geneva Motor Show.

It’s been rumored for quite sometime but Apple has finally unveiled a Mac app that brings iMessage to the desktop. Messages replaces iChat but keeps all the goodness of the old platform. When you install Messages, it replaces iChat. But iChat services will continue to work. And Messages allows you to send unlimited iMessages to any Mac, iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. Connected via your Apple ID, you can start an iMessage conversation on your Mac and continue it on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. Other features include the ability to send photos, videos, attachments, contacts, locations, and more. AIM, Yahoo!, Google Talk, and Jabber account integration is still supported, as was the case with iChat.
This also gives us a preview of what to expect from OS X Mountain Lion, the next Mac OS. Mountain Lion takes much inspiration from the iOS platform that runs on the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. Expect integration with Reminders, Notes, Notification Center, and much more.
Download Messages for Mac.
