Ferrari South Bay is proud to unveil the all-new Ferrari 12Cilindri — a bold homage to timeless design and the legendary twelve-cylinder legacy. Sculpted with aerodynamic precision and unmistakable elegance, it redefines the essence of Ferrari grand touring. Our Ferrari South Bay demonstrator has just arrived, beautifully finished in Celeste Trevi over Tortora leather — a striking expression of sophistication and performance.

Introduction: A New Era of the V12 Berlinetta

The Ferrari 12Cilindri, the latest addition to the Ferrari line-up and the next generation of naturally aspirated V12 Berlinetta’s. Drawing inspiration from late and great Ferrari Gran Tursimo cars, the 12Cilindri modernizes the very powertrain layout found in the First Ferrari ever to leave the factory gates in Maranello.

Exterior Design: Elegant Power, Redefined

 The goal of the exterior design was to radically change the aesthetic relative to previous mid-front-engined V12 Ferrari’s, and as such, you find a more sophisticated and sleek presence. The objective was to promote elegance without sacrificing performance. At the rear, the 25mm lip spoiler, coupled with the active aerodynamics maintain the cars aero efficiency, and provide two different configurations Low drag, and High Downforce. At the front, a wraparound band seamlessly integrates the blade-like DRL, and the smooth bonnet lifts from the front hinge to reveal the soul of the 12Cilindri, the 6.5L V12.

Powertrain & Performance: Engineering the Ultimate V12

Relative to the outgoing 812 Superfast, this has a 20mm reduction in wheelbase, as well as an entirely new, all-aluminum chassis specifically designed to improve rigidity and reduce weight. The latest in Ferrari technologies are available, including ABS Evo, Side Slip Control, and a new Aspirated Torque Control shaping to offer a designed, linear power delivery. The 12Cilindri is so named for the legacy of the V12 Berlinetta. With an output of 819 hp, the newest iteration of the V12 can rev to 9,500 rpm, offering an audible experience the true Ferrari aficionado will appreciate. Innovations were inspired by the brand’s rich history of performance, with several components being adopted and modified from the special series 812 Competizione, as well as Ferrari’s experience in Formula 1. A crucial component of any Ferrari V12 is the sound; as such, Ferrari engineers optimized every element of the intake and exhaust lines to design the 12Cilindri’s howl.

Conclusion: Legacy in Motion

Road-going Ferraris were founded on the two-seater, front-mid-engine layout — a legacy of legendary grand tourers from which the 12Cilindri proudly draws inspiration. As the natural evolution of this powertrain philosophy, it remains loyal to the emotions and driving experience only a V12 Berlinetta can deliver.
