2025 Ferrari 12Cilindri

Dirty dozen: is the 12Cilindri the most complete Ferrari ever made?

Ferrari's new super GT has a rather obvious name, but can it swallow five countries in a few hours?

Maastricht is where the EU was established and currency union set into motion, back in 1992. They couldn’t have predicted Brexit or indeed that it’s an EU mandate that’s lumbered us with the scourge of modern cars that is ADAS. Thankfully, there’s a button that turns it all off. A brand new Ferrari here is quite the flex, but Maastricht is pretty enough and there are some cool old buildings.

We have France to visit, though, blatting back through Belgium and creeping over the border near a town called Givet. Bonjour and au revoir are separated by about 20 minutes. Maybe we could make Monaco, the 12Cilindri’s natural habitat, by tomorrow morning. It feels eminently doable.

We return right on time. That in itself is no mean feat after 400 miles and 10 hours behind the wheel. No potholes and no traffic jams, either, only the sense that Ferrari may just have delivered its most complete car ever. It’s not as urgent or as extrovert as its forebears, but it is hugely charismatic, beautifully made, and a design and tech leader. That bloodline has just been enriched.
