Ferrari 12Cilindri

Built on a modified version of the advanced aluminium architecture that Ferrari uses for the Purosangue, the 12Cilindri is the Italian marque’s flagship two door grand tourer. Succeeding the 812 Superfast in Ferrari’s iconic V12 lineup, the 12Cilindri is available in Coupe and Spider variants in India. The Ferrari 12Cilindri on road price in India starts at approximately ₹9.82 crore, while 12Cilindri rivals include the Lamborghini Revuelto and Aston Martin Vanquish.

The Maranello-based brand’s flagship two seater supercar is powered by a 6.5 litre naturally aspirated V12 that revs all the way up to 9,500rpm, sending 830hp and 678Nm to the rear wheels via an 8-speed dual clutch automatic gearbox. A bank of computers and sensors, along with a wide range of modern electronic safety measures, monitor and manage the 12Cilindri’s every aspect. In typical Ferrari fashion, the 12Cilindri uses a front engine, rear wheel drive layout backed by a sonorous exhaust.

Ferrari 12Cilindri design and interior

The 12Cilindri’s styling is unlike Ferraris before it – the long bonnet, cab-rearward design borrows heavily from the iconic 365 Daytona of the 1960s. The drooped nose has a visor-like effect and wrap-around LED running elements. Meanwhile, the clamshell bonnet merges into the side profile, which sports clean but intentionally geometric lines that flow into the back of the 12Cilindri. The protruding side skirts and rear haunches manage to retain one’s attention long enough to notice the sleek rear LEDs and neatly tucked aero flaps that are electronically controlled.

Grabbing one’s attention on the inside is the dashboard’s dual cockpit design, which exudes sportiness and this interior’s tech-forward approach. There is a massive 15.6-inch instrument cluster, plus an 8.8-inch auxiliary display that are part of two individual binnacles. Meanwhile, a touch-infotainment screen occupies a separate slot in the middle of the centre console. The steering wheel is a busy design as it contains the ‘Mannetino’ switch, alongside buttons for the lights, wipers, cruise control, voice recognition and controls for the driver’s display. The 12Cilindri’s cabin can be optioned with varying customisable adornments including leather, Alcantara, carbon-fibre and aluminium.
