The Ferrari 12Cilindri is the brand’s newest V12 flagship. Starting at just under $500,000, it produces 830 horsepower from Ferrari’s legendary F140 V12, an engine first seen in the Enzo more than 20 years ago. Enlarged to 6.5 liters, it delivers sub-3-second 0–60 mph runs and a top speed over 210 mph.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. Ferrari surprised enthusiasts by keeping this car naturally aspirated, as many believed the 812 would be the last pure V12. The engine is positioned behind the front axle, providing a near mid-engine balance despite its front-engine layout. Curb weight is around 3,700 lbs, heavier than the 812, but the added power compensates.
While Ferrari quotes an official top speed of just over 210 mph, real-world testing has already proven the 12Cilindri’s capabilities extend even further. The team at AutoTopNL on YouTube took the car onto the unrestricted sections of Germany’s autobahn and managed to reach a blistering 337 km/h (209 mph).
The run highlighted the car’s stability at extreme speeds, as well as the relentless pull of the naturally aspirated V12, showing that Ferrari’s latest flagship lives up to its legendary heritage.
