Ferrari 12Cilindri FAQs

Beyond its performance, the 12Cilindri combines a naturally aspirated V12 engine, bespoke engineering, advanced chassis technology, handcrafted interior and extensive personalization options. Like other Ferrari models, exclusivity and craftsmanship are central to its positioning.

"12Cilindri," pronounced as "doe-dee-chee-chill-in-dree," in Italian means 12 cylinders.

The 12Cilindri represents Ferrari's latest front-engined V12 grand tourer and continues one of the brand's longest-running traditions. At a time when many high-performance cars have adopted turbocharging or hybrid assistance, it retains a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 that revs to 9,500rpm and develops 830hp.

Ferrari has not confirmed whether the 12Cilindri will be its final naturally aspirated V12 road car. However, tightening global emissions regulations mean naturally aspirated V12 engines are becoming increasingly rare, making the 12Cilindri particularly significant in Ferrari's lineup.

The 12Cilindri has been engineered primarily as a grand tourer. While it delivers supercar-level performance, Ferrari has placed equal emphasis on refinement, long-distance comfort and everyday usability without compromising the character of its naturally aspirated V12.

Both cars are front-engined V12 grand tourers, but they take different approaches. The Ferrari focuses on a high-revving naturally aspirated engine and sharp driving dynamics, while the Aston Martin Vanquish uses a twin-turbocharged V12 with a stronger emphasis on effortless torque and luxury.
