Ferrari’s Latest Naturally Aspirated V-12 Grand Tourer

Introduced in 2024, the Ferrari 12Cilindri continued one of Maranello’s most enduring traditions: the front-engined, two-seat V-12 grand tourer. Its lineage stretches through landmark models including the 275 GTB, 365 GTB/4 Daytona, 550 Maranello, 599 GTB Fiorano, F12berlinetta, and 812 Superfast. Yet the 12Cilindri was conceived not simply as another escalation of performance, but as a broader reinterpretation of Ferrari’s flagship berlinetta, balancing extraordinary speed with refinement and long-distance ability.

At its heart remained Ferrari’s naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V-12, derived from the long-running F140 engine family. Producing 830 PS at 9,250 rpm and revving to 9,500 rpm, it incorporated titanium connecting rods, diamond-like carbon-coated finger followers, revised valvetrain components, and extensive friction-reduction measures. An eight-speed dual-clutch transaxle replaced the previous seven-speed unit, while Ferrari quoted 0–100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and a maximum speed exceeding 340 km/h.

The chassis represented a substantial evolution from the 812 Superfast. Ferrari claimed a 15% increase in torsional rigidity, while Virtual Short Wheelbase 3.0, brake-by-wire technology, and Side Slip Control 8.0 were intended to make the car more linear and predictable while retaining exceptional agility. Active rear aerodynamic flaps could switch between low-drag and higher-downforce configurations.

Designed under Flavio Manzoni at Ferrari’s Centro Stile, the 12Cilindri also marked a striking visual departure from its predecessors. Its clean, geometric surfaces drew inspiration from the 365 GTB/4 Daytona without resorting to overt retro styling. The dark front mask, long hood, cab-rearward proportions, and distinctive rear glass treatment gave the car a futuristic character while preserving the classic proportions of a front-engined Ferrari. Writing in Top Gear in November 2024, Jason Barlow observed that Ferrari “may just have delivered its most complete car ever,” adding that it remained “hugely charismatic, beautifully made, and a design and tech leader.”

Purchased by its current collector owner and first registered for road use in October 2025, this 12Cilindri presents in a striking and sophisticated specification. Its factory personalization plaque records a Nero Daytona (Daytona Black) exterior over Nero (Black, 8500) interior, accented by yellow brake calipers and Giallo-stitched (Yellow) Cavallino headrest emblems.

Carbon fibre was specified extensively, including the rear boot trim, rear diffuser, front air intakes, under-door covers, door panels, sill kickplates, upper center console, front spoiler, and steering wheel. Additional equipment includes gloss black wheels with titanium bolts, black tailpipes, Scuderia Ferrari shields, and a panoramic roof. Its grand-touring specification also includes ventilated and massaging front seats, passenger display, front-axle lift, surround-view cameras, adaptive cruise control, active-matrix LED headlights, high-end audio, and wireless smartphone charging.

Showing just 392 km at the time of cataloguing and remaining under warranty until 14 May 2028, this single-owner 12Cilindri remains in nearly as-delivered condition. Its Nero Daytona finish, extensive carbon fibre specification, and broad suite of grand-touring amenities make it an especially desirable example of Ferrari’s impressive front-engine V-12 flagship, combining extraordinary performance, everyday usability, and the increasingly rare drama of a naturally aspirated 12-cylinder engine.
