Ferrari Unveils 12Cilindri, Its Newest Flagship 12-cylinder Supercar
Ferrari unveils 12Cilindri, the brand’s newest flagship 12-cylinder supercar that will replace the 812 Superfast.
Inspired by the Ferrari Gran Turismo cars of the 1950s and ‘60s, the 12Cilindri is available in Coupe and Spider versions.
Power comes from a mid-front-mounted, 6.5-liter naturally-aspirated V12 engine (code-named the F140HD).
Ferrari 12Cilindri Coupe can hit 62 mph in 2.9 seconds and while the Spider will do this in 2.95 seconds.
Both versions of the Maranello’s new two-seater berlinetta have a top-speed of 340 km/h (211 mph).
Sales of the 12Cilindri will start later this year with a starting price of $423,000 for the coupe and $466,000 for the Convertible.
Italian sports car manufacturer, Ferrari, late on Thursday unveiled its newest flagship 12-cylinder supercar, the 12Cilindri, at an exclusive event held in Miami Beach, Florida, USA.
The 12Cilindri (Italian for “12 cylinders” and pronounced dodi-chi chilin-dri) is a successor to the 812 Superfast. Ferrari says that its newest flagship is inspired by the Ferrari Gran Turismo cars of the 1950s and ‘60s.
Maranello’s new two-seater berlinetta is available in both closed-roof (Coupe) and convertible (Spider) versions. The 12Cilindri sports an aerodynamics designed to “produce a sober, elegant car without compromising on performance”.
This includes a pair of flaps at the rear that stays flush with the body of the car in a low-drag position at speeds below 60 km/h (37 mph) and above 300 km/h (186 mph). Between these two speeds, when high downforce is required, the flaps extend.
“In between these two speeds, however, downforce plays a central role and the spoilers’ movement depends on the car’s longitudinal and lateral acceleration. In high downforce configuration, the Ferrari 12Cilindri generates maximum downforce and guarantees that the car is aerodynamically balanced.”
Inside, the interior style takes inspiration from the Prancing Horse’s dual-cockpit found inside the Ferrari Roma and Roma Spider as well as the Ferrari Purosangue SUV.
Like other Ferrari models, the 12Cilindri also gets a central 10.25” touchscreen capacitive display within reach of both driver and passenger, a massive 15.6-inch driver display and an 8.8-inch display on the the passenger side that ensures they feel like a genuine co-driver.
Power comes from a mid-front-mounted, 6.5-liter naturally-aspirated V12 engine (code-named the F140HD), which puts out 819 horsepower at 9,250 rpm and 500 pound-feet of torque at 7,250 rpm.
Ferrari says that the 12Cilindri Coupe can hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds and 124 mph in 7.9 seconds while the Spider will do this in 2.95 seconds and 8.2 seconds, respectively. Both versions have a top-speed of 340 km/h (211 mph).
Sales of Ferrari 12Cilindri will start later this year with a starting price of $423,000 for the coupe and $466,000 for the Convertible. Both versions will cost over N1 billion each to own in Nigeria.
