Firing on all cylinders

The Ferrari 12Cilindri, or "12 cylinders" in Italian, is the latest grand tourer from the iconic Italian brand. It's more than just a name; it's a celebration of Ferrari's most powerful engine, a naturally aspirated V12 that roars with 830 horsepower. It's also a vehicle that bridges Ferrari's rich heritage with modern luxury.

Ferrari's love affair with the V12 engine goes back to 1947, and this latest model is a tribute to it. Under its long, sleek hood lies a 6.5-litre V12 engine pure, unadulterated power without the need for turbos or hybrid assistance. In a world that's moving towards electric and hybrid vehicles, the naturally aspirated engine feels like a rare jewel.

But why call it the 12Cilindri? This is the last of Ferrari's V12 engines in its pure form.
