The increase in power should help the new F12 M better the current car's sprint time from 0 - 100km/h of 3.1 seconds.

To ensure that the F12 M is able to handle the extra power, Ferrari is expected to add the F12tdf's four wheel steering system to the new car.

However, despite multiple rumours suggesting a hybrid model, the new car does not seem to have a motor bolted on as can be seen in the video.
