Ferrari has officially launched its latest V12-powered supercar, the 12Cilindri, in India. Available in both coupe and spider variants, the car carries a price tag of ₹8.50 crore for the coupe and ₹9.15 crore for the spider. This model replaces the Ferrari 812 while carrying forward its legacy of raw power and timeless design.
A Tribute to Ferrari’s Iconic Heritage
The 12Cilindri is a tribute to the fabled Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona. The styling is aggressive and elegant, carrying a fastback silhouette reminiscent of its predecessor. The front takes on rectangular headlamps formed into a streamlined black element. The low-set nose is supplemented by the long hood, featuring horseshoe vents for further aerodynamic efficiency and cooling. The rear, with rising buttresses and a blacked-out rear glass, is a breathtaking sight. Slim, horizontal taillights give it that modern look, with the carbon fiber diffuser finishing off the car’s intent as a performance-oriented design.
Interior: Luxurious, Tech-Loaded
Inside, the 12Cilindri continues Ferrari’s modern design philosophy. The dual-cockpit layout resembles that of the Roma and Purosangue. A 10.25-inch touchscreen sits at the center, handling infotainment and climate controls. The driver benefits from a 15.6-inch digital instrument cluster, while the passenger gets an exclusive 8.8-inch display. This setup ensures that both occupants experience Ferrari’s cutting-edge technology.
A Naturally Aspirated V12 That Defines Performance
At the heart of the 12Cilindri sits a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine.
Unlike hybrid and turbocharged units, this powertrain is pure: exciting. Taking technology from the 812 Competizione, it will rev hard to 9,500 rpm, making 819 bhp at 9,250 rpm. With 678 Nm torque arriving at 7,250 rpm, it just keeps accelerating. Power is sent to the rear wheels through an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, which Ferrari claims shifts 30% faster than its predecessor.
How the 12Cilindri Stands Out
The Ferrari 12Cilindri blends heritage with innovation. It maintains the raw performance of naturally aspirated engines while incorporating advanced aerodynamics and modern technology. Unlike other supercars that rely on hybrid systems, the 12Cilindri stays true to Ferrari’s traditional V12 experience. With lightning-fast gear shifts, an aggressive yet elegant design, and a cockpit filled with cutting-edge tech, this car sets a new benchmark for front-engined supercars.
Pricing and Availability in India
Ferrari has priced the 12Cilindri coupe at ₹8.50 crore and the spider at ₹9.15 crore (ex-showroom). This pricing reflects its exclusivity and status as a flagship Ferrari model. As Ferrari continues to expand its lineup, the 12Cilindri ensures that enthusiasts still have access to a pure V12 experience without hybrid assistance.
A Supercar That Celebrates Ferrari’s Legacy
The Ferrari 12Cilindri is more than just a supercar—it’s a statement. It preserves the essence of Ferrari’s legendary V12 models while embracing modern technology. With breathtaking performance, a luxurious cabin, and an unmistakable design, the 12Cilindri stands as a symbol of Ferrari’s commitment to excellence. For collectors and enthusiasts, this car represents the pinnacle of naturally aspirated engineering, ensuring its place among the greatest Ferraris ever built.
