Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider: Born To Thrill

models

The Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider is inspired by the legendary open-topped Grand Tourers of the 1950s and ‘60s, embodying the front-mounted Ferrari V12 two-seater mission with its effortless combination of elegance, versatility, performance and the unique ability to hear the sound of its 12 cylinders with the roof open, without sacrificing driving comfort on long journeys.

The retractable hard top (RHT) ensures outstanding levels of comfort and versatility due to the extra space achieved through a double curve over the heads of driver and passenger. The RHT system takes 14 seconds to complete the opening or closing operation at speeds of up to 28 mph. The glass rear screen is electrically height-adjustable and offers occupants superb passenger compartment comfort in open-top driving, allowing normal conversation at top speeds.

Ferrari 12 Cilindri Spider delivers an astounding 819 Horsepower, 0-62mph acceleration in 2.95 seconds; and a top speed of over 211 mph for exhilarating trips to the Poconos or the New Jersey shore.

Exterior

This car differs from the Ferrari 12Cilindri in the boldly expressive character created by the two buttresses at the rear, behind which an element with a black-screen effect is set. The crease lines evident on the buttresses clearly echo the motif of the flank, accentuating the expressiveness of the design of these elements. Set into the flank is a ‘quarterlight’ in back-painted polycarbonate. 12Cilindri Spider is stunningly beautiful, and with the top open immerses the driver into the world around them for maximum driving pleasure.

Innovations

The Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider is equipped with Maranello’s iconic naturally-aspirated V12 engine, the purest expression of Ferrari’s spirit delivers 819 hp of power and a top speed of 211 mph. Developments such as the exhaust system with ceramic catalytic converter, titanium con rods, and pistons made from a lightweight aluminium alloy were adopted from 812 Competizione special series. Sliding finger followers – derived from Ferrari’s Formula 1 experience– reduce the coefficient of friction, significantly improving engine performance. Every element of the intake and exhaust lines were optimized. The result is a cleaner, fuller sound in all driving conditions.

Interior

The Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider’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. The Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider comes with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto®-based mobile connectivity systems as standard, both easily controlled from the new central display. A wireless charging mat on the central tunnel (as standard) makes phone charging simple too.
