Ferrari has unveiled its latest masterpiece, the 12Cilindri, a two-seater masterpiece that embodies the spirit of the Prancing Horse’s iconic V12 heritage. This naturally aspirated, non-hybrid supercar pays tribute to the open-top Gran Turismo models of Ferrari’s golden era, the 1950s and ’60s.
A Legacy Reborn with 12Cilindri
The 12Cilindri is a culmination of four years of meticulous engineering, boasting an all-aluminum chassis with a near-perfect weight distribution and an advanced suspension setup featuring Magnetorheological dampers.
At its heart lies the legendary 6.5-liter, 65° V12 engine, known as the F140HD. This naturally aspirated masterpiece, devoid of hybrid systems or forced induction, revs up to an exhilarating 9,500 RPM, producing a soul-stirring 818.64 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. It’s a testament to Ferrari‘s unwavering commitment to the pure, unadulterated driving experience.
Design that Captures the Imagination
The 12Cilindri‘s exterior is a breathtaking blend of modern elegance and classic design cues, echoing the lines of the 365GTB/4 Daytona. The sleek bodywork is further enhanced by an advanced active aero setup that optimizes both performance and stability.
Technology that Elevates the Drive
The 12Cilindri isn’t just about power; it seamlessly integrates cutting-edge technology to deliver an unparalleled driving experience. Standard rear-wheel steering, the eighth-generation Side Slip Control system, and Ferrari’s Virtual Short Wheelbase 3.0 system work in harmony to provide razor-sharp handling and exceptional control.
Performance that Exhilarates
The potent combination of the naturally aspirated V12 and a lightweight chassis allows the 12Cilindri to launch from 0-60 mph in a mere 2.9 seconds, with the Spider variant achieving the feat in a hair over 2.95 seconds. Its top speed exceeds 210 mph, solidifying its position as a true force on the road.
A Legacy in the Making
With a starting price of $425,300, the 12Cilindri is a masterpiece reserved for a select few. It is more than just a car; it’s a rolling embodiment of Ferrari‘s heritage, a love letter to the internal combustion engine, and a potential glimpse into the final chapter of a glorious era.
