models

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. 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 optimized 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.

Ferrari 12 Cilindri delivers exhilarating 819 Horsepower, 0-62mph acceleration in 2.9 seconds; and a top speed of over 211 mph for thrilling trips to the Shore or through the hillsides of Pennsylvania.

Exterior

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.

Innovations

The Ferrari 12Cilindri 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 – serve to open and close the valves, reducing the coefficient of friction, significantly improving the performance of the engine. 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'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.
