Ferrari's new 12Cilindri seems nimble and modern. It carries its legacy lightly. But there's true Italian passion under the hood

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.
