Ferrari 12Cilindri: A New Chapter in Supercar Excellence

Ferrari
  • Ferrari’s latest grand touring supercar, the 12Cilindri, boasts a powerful 6.5 liter V12 engine with 819 horsepower and Formula 1-inspired technologies for exceptional performance.
  • Equipped with modern features like large screens, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility, and advanced safety technologies, the 12Cilindri offers a blend of classic elegance and cutting-edge innovation.

Ferrari (RACE) has taken steps in recent years to utilize some innovative new technologies that help adapt them to an emerging world of more efficient, eco-friendly automobiles.

Plug-in hybrid cars like its 296 GTB sports car have recently proven popular, while it also partners with academics and scientists on battery research projects for electric vehicles (EV).

However, big, gas-sipping V12 engines remain at the core of Aston Martin and its latest supercar is an automotive statement saying ‘we aren’t finished yet.’

Ferrari’s latest grand touring supercar is known as 12Cilindri in Italian for “12 Cylinders.” This grand touring masterpiece offers the ideal blend of old world elegance, new technology and unbridled power and speed.

As its name indicates, the 12 features a 6.5 liter V12 engine connected to an eight-speed dual clutch gearbox under its long hood. What distinguishes it from most contemporary supercars, however, is that Ferrari’s V12 does not utilize turbocharging or hybrid electric technology like Lamborghini Revuelto does.

Ferrari installed upgraded engine parts, revised software settings and even utilized some Formula 1-inspired technologies in order to increase mechanical efficiency of their powertrain unit and produce 819 horsepower with 500 pound feet of torque and an unfathomably fast redline of 9,500rpm. The result? An astounding performance upgrade which can only be described as exceptional!

When driven as a coupe, the 12Cilindri goes from zero to 60 miles per hour in only 2.9 seconds and tops out at 211 MPH; when converted into “Spider” form its acceleration time decreases slightly to 2.95 seconds but will reach its same top speed nonetheless.

From its outside, both coupe and convertible versions of Ferrari 12 stand out among their lineup. At first glance, their overall shape suggests they were inspired by classic Prancing Horse cars such as their first “Miami Vice” vehicle 365 GTB/4 Daytona which features daytime running lights as well as an aggressive aerodynamic body kit – with modern day features added such as LED daytime running lights.

Interior elements add another modern element; screens dominate much of the dashboard real estate. A massive 15.6-inch display for gauges and key car information awaits drivers; passengers receive their own 8.8-inch screens showing this information. A 10.25-inch infotainment screen features standard Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility as well as wireless smartphone charging – optional 15 speaker Burmester sound systems are available as an extra.

The 12 comes equipped with some smart technologies designed to keep you on the road safely, such as brake-by-wire technology and four-wheel independent steering. Furthermore, its Slide Slip Control 8.0 system learns real-time grip levels for optimal traction levels.

Pricing for the United States market has yet to be confirmed; however, considering their European asking prices of around $424,000 for coupe and $467,000 for Spider models respectively, expect it not to come cheaply.
