A V12 Engine That Thrills

At the heart of both models is a naturally aspirated 6.5L V12, delivering:

• 830 cv (818 hp) of power
• 128 cv per liter, a best-in-class figure
• A screaming 9,500 rpm redline

But beyond the numbers, the V12 experience is pure emotion—with a sense of relentless acceleration, an orchestral exhaust note, and seamless power delivery. Thanks to Ferrari’s new Aspirated Torque Shaping system, 80% of peak torque is available from just 2,500 rpm, ensuring a thrilling response at any speed.

Paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, the 12Cilindri offers:

• Lightning-fast gear shifts
• Shorter ratios for explosive acceleration
• A long eighth gear for effortless touring

Precision Engineering & Cutting-Edge Dynamics

Built on an all-new chassis, the 12Cilindri is:

• 20mm shorter in wheelbase than the 812 Superfast, improving agility
• Equipped with four-wheel steering, allowing independent rear-wheel movement for sharp low-speed maneuvering and ultra-precise high-speed cornering
• Fitted with 21-inch custom-engineered tires, enhancing grip, efficiency, and comfort

With Ferrari’s latest 6D chassis sensor and Side Slip Control (SSC) 8.0, the car constantly fine-tunes its handling for an unparalleled driving experience. A new brake-by-wire system with ABS Evo ensures phenomenal stopping power and precise pedal feel.

Adding to its dynamic prowess, the active rear aerodynamic flaps automatically switch between low-drag and high-downforce modes, generating up to 50kg of extra downforce when needed.

Sculpted for Beauty & Performance

Both the 12Cilindri coupé and Spider share bold, geometric, muscular lines—each with its own distinct character.

• The coupé features a delta wing-shaped rear window, adding an aerodynamic edge.
• The Spider showcases powerful rear fairings, sculpting a striking silhouette.

A New Ferrari Icon

More than just a high-performance sports car, the 12Cilindri is a luxurious grand tourer, blending speed, sophistication, and dramatic styling. With the unveiling of both the 12Cilindri and 12Cilindri Spider, Ferrari redefines the V12 era, ensuring its legacy remains stronger than ever.

New icons? Without question.
