The Ferrari 12Cilindri[2] (Type F167) is a two-seater front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive grand tourer produced by the Italian sports car manufacturer Ferrari.[3] It was unveiled at Miami Beach on May 3, 2024, to coincide with the 70th anniversary of Ferrari in the American market.[4]

Specifications

[edit]

Engine

[edit]

The 12Cilindri has a 6,496 cc (6.5 L) F140 V12, 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.[5]

Wheels

[edit]

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.[6]

Aerodynamics

[edit]

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. The side of the spoiler can tilt up to 10° to from 60 km/h (38 mph) to act as aero brake and generating 50 kg of downforce at high speeds.[7]

Performance

[edit]

Ferrari claims a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 2.9 seconds, a 0–200 km/h (0–124 mph) in 7.9 seconds, and a top speed of 211 mph (340 km/h).[8]

Design

[edit]

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.[9]

The interior is inspired by the Purosangue and the 296 GTB and is the first GT-segment to lack an analog gauge.[10]
