Review: Ferrari 12Cilindri
Ferrari 12Cilindri Fast Facts
Price: POA
Engine: 6.5-litre, naturally aspirated V12
Power: 610 kW @ 9 250 r/min
Torque: 678 N.m @ 7 250 r/min
Transmission: 8-speed dual-clutch
0-100 km/h: 2.9 seconds
0-200 km/h: <7.9 seconds
Top speed: > 340 km/h
Rivals: Aston Martin Vanquish; Bentley Continental GT
Boasting a claimed 0-100 km/h sprint time of just 2.9 seconds, while the 12Cilindri has more than enough pace to carry the mantle from the likes of the 599 GTB, F12berlinetta, and 812 Superfast, I get the sense via this car’s styling, ride refinement, soundtrack and convincing dual personality that Ferrari looked to its older creations, the likes of the 250 GT and, indeed, the Daytona, for more than just styling inspiration for its newest celebration of the V12.
My last two drives of Maranello products, in the raised ride height Purosague and hybrid-powered 296 GTB, were impressive for what this proud Italian brand has achieved while monitoring automotive trends. The Dodici Cilindri feels like a timely reminder of what made Ferrari so special to begin with.

Review: Ferrari 12Cilindri
Ferrari’s newest celebration of its V12 lineage blends old-school cool with staggering performance. Ian McLaren was in the driver's seat of the 12Cilindri!

The James May review: Ferrari 12Cilindri — driving fast never sounded better
‘That engine really is fabulous — packed with mechanical character, sonorous and sparkly in a way that suggests it’s fuelled with gin and tonic’

Super-GT showdown: Ferrari 12Cilindri vs Aston Martin Vanquish
These epic new Aston and Ferrari V12s have brought a famous old rivalry back to the boil
The 12Cilindri didn’t have the easiest start in the court of public opinion, and not just because of its cumbersome name. “The V12 isn’t bombastic enough!” brayed forum posters. “The Pontiac Aztek wants its rear styling back,” X-ers snarked. And on it went.
Maybe they had a point. With its breadvan-ish tail and hyper-chiselled prow, the very latest Ferrari GT (styled in-house, Pininfarina’s 66-year influence having ended with the F12 Berlinetta) is provocative. Particulate filters also mean this most recent iteration of the 65deg Tipo 140 engine is indeed tamer on the ears than before.
But temper your prejudices. Remember that many considered the 550 Maranello ugly when it hit the scene in 1996. Remember also that, especially in these darkened times of the fun-car witch-hunt, it is better to have a stirring timbre than raw amplitude.
In any case, what really matters today is how the £339,000 doe-dee-chee-chi-lin-dree feels to drive, and the early signs after its endless banana of a clamshell bonnet peels west off the A74(M) and we wail off into the Lanarkshire wilds are spectacularly promising.
Lurking a few miles up the road is a new Aston Martin. Unlike the Ferrari, we’ve already tasted the Vanquish on home soil, so we know it borders on the spectacular. Ingredients: a lavish cabin, a stunning silhouette and, in its handling, a heavy-set poise that melts so sweetly into slithers of oversteer it makes you laugh out loud. It’s a very modern Aston (with Apple CarPlay and all).
