The Ferrari 12Cilindri, a true masterpiece from the heralded Italian automaker, emerges as a symbol of luxury and power in the automotive world. Named quite literally for its 12-cylinder engine configuration, the 12Cilindri epitomizes the perfect blend of tradition and modern innovation. Aimed at replacing the 812 Superfast, this model comes in both coupe and retractable hardtop Spider variants. Ferrari's marketing has taken a nostalgic yet forward-looking approach; the car recalls classic Ferrari V12 silhouettes but introduces a bold, future-facing aesthetic influenced by the visual appeal of 1960s and 1970s Italian design and contemporary cinema.
Beneath its meticulously sculpted hood lies the F140HD 6.5-liter V12 engine—a marvel in automotive engineering. This refined powerhouse traces its roots back to the iconic Ferrari Enzo. With an output of 610kW at 9250rpm and 678Nm of torque at 7250rpm, the engine's capabilities are astronomical. Highlighted by new titanium conrods, lighter pistons, a rebalanced crankshaft, and innovative fuel injection systems, the 12Cilindri engine is not just about history—it's about blazing a trail into the future. This powerhouse also enables a jaw-dropping acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds, reaching 200 km/h in less than 7.9 seconds, with a top speed of 340 km/h.
Ferrari's commitment to excellence extends to the 12Cilindri’s dynamic driving technologies and luxurious design elements. Advanced aerodynamics featuring movable flaps and sophisticated vortex generators ensure stability and efficiency at high speeds. The interior is equally impressive, appointed with a suite of digital interfaces including a 15.6-inch digital instrument panel and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity for the modern driver. Standard comfort seats with an option for carbon-shell sports seats provide luxury on par with the performance, ensuring that the 12Cilindri is as comfortable as it is thrilling to drive. As Ferrari rolls out this stunning vehicle at a starting price of 395,000 euros for the coupe in Europe, it promises to offer both a nod to its illustrious past and a gateway to its high-performance future.
