The Ferrari 12Cilindri is inspired by the legendary Grand Tourers of the 1950s and ’60s, embodying the front-mounted Ferrari V12 two-seater mission with its effortless combination of elegance, versatility, and performance. The car represents the latest evolution in this bloodline and continues that unique legacy, elevating it towards new standards in performance, comfort, and design. Its silhouette exudes sportiness and class.
The Ferrari 12Cilindri is equipped with Maranello’s iconic naturally-aspirated V12 engine, the purest expression of Ferrari’s spirit. This version delivers 830 hp of power, while the top engine speed is 9500 rpm. Some of the developments implemented on this model have already been adopted on the 812 Competizione special series, such as the exhaust system with ceramic catalytic converter, titanium con rods, and pistons made from a lightweight aluminium alloy.
Sound is pivotal to marrying the comfort, luxury and exhilarating driving emotions typical of a Ferrari V12: to this end, every element of the intake and exhaust lines were optimised to result in Ferrari’s typical V12 howl that comprises all of the noble combustion orders. Innovative Aspirated Torque Shaping (ASP) has allowed the Maranello engineers to sculpt the torque curve in third and fourth gears using sophisticated electronic control that improves perception of the shape without impinging on acceleration, all to the benefit of driving pleasure.
The 12Cilindri boasts the very state of the art in front-engined berlinetta dynamic controls.
The introduction of brake-by-wire allowed the latest innovations from the range to be adopted, including ABS Evo that debuted on the 296 GTB and the 6D sensor that guarantees optimal precision to the Virtual Short Wheelbase (PCV) 3.0. Everything is controlled and managed by Side Slip Control (SSC) 8.0, now in its eighth development release. Aerodynamic load-generating flaps have been introduced on the rear of the Ferrari 12Cilindri, permitting two different configurations: Low Drag (LD) and High Downforce (HD).
Clean lines dominate the 12Cilindri’s geometry, underscoring the volumes that make up a seamlessly interconnected whole. The ultra-clean flanks sweep back along the entire car from a dihedral section. The 12Cilindri’s wings have been sculpted with extreme geometric precision: all of the lines are the result of intersections between the volumes and a more functional approach to form has been taken that eschews nostalgia.
The interior style takes its inspiration from the Prancing Horse’s dual-cockpit architecture. The 12Cilindri’s cabin has an almost-symmetrical structure comprising two modules for driver and passenger and offering an astonishing standard of comfort and involvement in the driving experience. It introduces a new Human Machine Interface (HMI) comprising three displays that raise the Ferrari V12 berlinetta onboard experience to new heights. All of the main functions can be controlled from the central 10.25” touchscreen capacitive display within reach of both driver and passenger. This is flanked by a 15.6” driver display showing all of the driving and vehicle dynamics information. Lastly, the passenger is always completely involved in the driving experience thanks to an 8.8” display.
