In a dazzling event in Miami on Thursday evening, luxury sports car titan Ferrari introduced its latest marvels to the world: the 12Cilindri and its convertible counterpart, the 12Cilindri Spider. These introductions are Ferrari's most recent efforts to captivate its affluent clientele, following a year in which the iconic brand launched five new models.
According to Reuters, the unveiling marks the beginning of Ferrari's ambitious product rollout, including 15 new models planned between 2023 and 2026.
A Nod to Classic Grandeur with Modern Engineering
The 12Cilindri models pay homage to Ferrari's storied grand-tourer (GT) heritage, drawing inspiration from the revered designs of the 1950s and 1960s. Under the hood, these vehicles boast Ferrari's legendary 12-cylinder engine, mirroring the powerhouse found in the four-seater Purosangue.
US News reported that this mid-front mounted V12 engine propels the 12Cilindri and 12Cilindri Spider to breathtaking speeds, exceeding 340 kilometers per hour (210 miles per hour) with a thrust of 830 horsepower.
Pricing and Availability
Priced in Italy at €395,000 ($422,000) for the 12Cilindri and €435,000 for the Spider variant, these models sit at the medium-high end of Ferrari's illustrious range. Eager enthusiasts can expect the first deliveries of the 12Cilindri in Europe during the final quarter of this year, with the soft-top 12Cilindri Spider following in the first quarter of 2025.
Balancing Tradition and Innovation
Despite the global automotive industry's shift towards electrification, Ferrari remains committed to producing internal combustion engine vehicles, capitalizing on a European Union exemption for e-fuel-powered cars. This decision aligns with the brand's electrification strategy, which includes adding hybrid-electric cars to its lineup since 2019 and anticipating its first fully-electric vehicle by the end of 2025.
Ferrari's latest release reassures fans and collectors alike that the roar of Ferrari's engines will continue to echo, blending the legacy of its petrol-powered past with the evolving landscape of automotive technology.
