Miami Beach, FL – May 3, 2024 – Today, the unveiling of the Ferrari 12Cilindri marked a pivotal moment at Miami Beach, as Ferrari celebrated 70 years of its storied presence in the American market. This latest masterpiece from Maranello is more than just a car; it’s a tribute to the enduring allure of the naturally-aspirated V12 engine, a symbol that has been at the heart of Ferrari since its inception in 1947.
The launch event drew an exclusive audience, eager to witness the debut of the 12Cilindri, a berlinetta that encapsulates the essence of Ferrari’s prestigious heritage while steering towards future innovations. The vehicle is a nod to the legendary Ferrari Gran Turismo models of the 1950s and ’60s, known for their race-bred excitement and versatility.
Designed by Flavio Manzoni and the Ferrari Styling Centre, the 12Cilindri emerges with a bold new aesthetic, departing from the more sculptural designs of its predecessors like the 812 Competizione. It sports a sleek, integrated silhouette with harmonious lines that accentuate its sporty, yet classy stance. Notably, the vehicle features an integrated active aerodynamic system, a front-hinged bonnet that showcases the engine, and signature twin tailpipes that affirm its Ferrari identity.
Under the bonnet, the 12Cilindri is equipped with the latest iteration of Ferrari’s iconic V12 engine. The F140HD engine offers an exhilarating 830 cv and can reach up to 9500 rpm thanks to innovative engineering enhancements including titanium connecting rods and a lighter crankshaft. The engine’s performance is complemented by an advanced 8-speed DCT transmission and innovative aerodynamics that adapt to enhance driving dynamics.
Inside, the cabin of the 12Cilindri offers unmatched comfort and luxury. It features a three-level design with a spacious glass roof and high-quality sustainable materials. The interior also introduces a new Human Machine Interface (HMI), which includes a trio of displays ensuring both the driver and passenger are fully engaged in the driving experience.
Ferrari’s commitment to performance is matched by its dedication to sustainability. The 12Cilindri incorporates environmentally responsible materials and advanced emissions control technologies, ensuring it meets the most stringent global standards.
This launch not only celebrates the evolution of Ferrari’s V12 lineage but also reinforces the brand’s commitment to delivering a unique blend of performance, comfort, and design. The Ferrari 12Cilindri, truly a car for the few, continues to build on the legacy of its forebearers, offering a modern interpretation of the grand tourer with all the performance and luxury expected of the Prancing Horse.
