This is the new Ferrari 12Cilindri and it’s a very simple name for a very special car. As the name suggests, the 12Cilindri continues the front-engine V12 lineage that goes back to the 1960s. Today I’m reviewing this Ferrari 12Cilindri, and I’ll show you the many quirks and features. I’m also going to get behind the wheel and show you what it’s like to drive.

The 12Cilindri has a 6.5 L F140 V12 engine, the same used in the Ferrari 812 Competizione, and generates a power output of 830 PS (610 kW; 819 hp) at 9,250 rpm and 678 N⋅m (500 lbf⋅ft) of torque at 7,250 rpm. The 12Cilindri has 21-inch wheels at the front and the rear. The tires are either Michelin Pilot Sport S5 or Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport.
The brakes are (398mm/front) and (360mm/rear) and are operated by a “brake-by-wire” electronical command. The car has 4-wheel steering. The design is a tribute of the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona with the black band on the hood that cannot be removed or changed to a different color.

The interior is inspired by the Purosangue and the 296 GTB and is the first GT-segment to lack an analog gauge. The car includes a mix of active and passive aerodynamics to improve drag coefficient values over the 812 Superfast. On the rear, the car has a spoiler to improve downforce at high speeds.
