There are many Ferrari’s that stir the senses and get the blood pumping, but few do it quite like a traditional mid-front mounted V12. Such is the case with Ferrari’s latest flagship grand tourer, the 12Cilindri (Dodici Cilindri), the natural evolution of Ferrari’s uncompromising powertrain philosophy, which over the decades has continued to develop without ever straying from its original DNA and the marque’s core values.

Unveiled in the San Juan City, Philippines on February 17, 2025, at the Velocità Motors Inc. showroom, the new model is inspired by the legendary Grand Tourers of the 1950s and ‘60s, embodying the front-mounted Ferrari V12 two-seater mission with its effortless combination of elegance, versatility, and performance. In fact, it almost looks like a reincarnation of the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Coupe.

With its bold, modern styling, the car represents the latest evolution in this bloodline and continues that unique legacy. Its silhouette sports harmonious lines that hide integrated active aerodynamic devices to guarantee peerless performance. It sports a front-hinged bonnet that grants an uninterrupted view of the engine bay. The back ends with twin tailpipes that have become a signature of Ferrari’s 12-cylinder cars. 

As one can expect, the Ferrari 12Cilindri is aimed at driving enthusiasts, but also at those who demand new standards of performance, comfort, and design. It does not disappoint, combining comfort and Italian design with driving pleasure.

Powering the 12Cilindri is a 6.5-liter V12 that produces up 830-PS and 678-Nm of torque. It can rev up to an astonishing 9,500 rpm redline. It’s paired with an eight-speed DCT with shorter gear ratios for faster acceleration.

That acceleration is 0 – 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds. It can also achieve a 0 – 200 km/h sprint in less than 7.9 seconds. Finally, it will reach a top speed of over 340 km/h.

The 12Cilindri also includes a number of modern tech like four-wheel steering, active rear flaps for enhanced aerodynamics and reduced drag, an all-aluminum chassis with a 20% shorter wheelbase, and a new brake-by-wire system.

Inside is Ferrari’s new dual cockpit design. It boasts of three displays (an instrument cluster for the driver, a center infotainment screen, and a second configurable screen for the passenger able to display entertainment or the instrument cluster as well). The infotainment is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless connectivity.

The interior makes use of high-quality materials with generous Alcantara for luxurious comfort. Above the two is a new glass roof for an airy and open atmosphere.

Finally, every 12Cilindri is covered by Ferrari's comprehensive 7-year maintenance program. This covers all regular maintenance for the first seven years of the car’s life, assuring the buyer that the car is kept at peak performance and safety over the years.  
For those that have to ask, some P44-50M should be prepared to cover the price of the vehicle and the numerous options available.
