Miami, known for its vibrant energy and dynamic atmosphere, has been chosen as the stage for the debut of Ferrari’s latest creation: the 12Cilindri. Following the successful revealing of the Ferrari Roma Spider last year in Marrakech’s El Badi Palace, the Prancing Horse now introduces a car that pays homage to its iconic V12 engine, a hallmark of Ferrari’s legacy since 1947.
The 12Cilindri’s name itself is a nod to the legendary motor, symbolizing the culmination of Ferrari’s craftsmanship and innovation. This mid-front-engined masterpiece sets a new standard for Gran Turismo cars with a formidable power output of 830 cvs and a maximum rev limit reaching 9500 rpm.
While its cutting-edge electronic controls and advanced features hint at a new era, the true essence of the 12Cilindri lies in the symphony produced by its twelve cylinders, a testament to the raw emotion and exhilaration that Ferrari enthusiasts have come to cherish. Sportiness, class, and elegance converge in the design of the Ferrari 12Cilindri.
Beneath its sleek exterior, innovative elements such as active aerodynamics, independent four-wheel steering, and state-of-the-art electronics seamlessly blend to create a driving experience like no other. Inspired by aeronautical design, the car’s exterior incorporates functional elements reminiscent of delta wings, symbolizing a fusion of tradition and modernity.
At the heart of the 12Cilindri lies the iconic V12 engine, enhanced with technologies derived from Ferrari’s Formula 1 expertise. Titanium con rods and aluminum alloy pistons reduce weight and improve performance, while the re-engineered intake system harmonizes high frequencies with the distinctive tones of Maranello’s V12 engines. The result is a symphony of sound that excites every moment behind the wheel.
For those seeking an even more immersive driving experience, Ferrari introduces the 12Cilindri Spider. This open-top variant allows enthusiasts to savor the symphony of the V12 engine while basking in the thrill of open-air motoring. With its reverse-opening bonnet and aerodynamically optimized design, the 12Cilindri perfectly balances form and function, evoking a sense of timeless elegance and exhilaration.
In the words of Chief Product Development Officer Gianmaria Fulgenzi, the Ferrari 12Cilindri promises “butterflies in the stomach at every shift,” capturing the essence of Ferrari’s relentless pursuit of excellence and passion for automotive innovation.
