The Ferrari 12Cilindri, successor to the marque’s 812 Superfast.

The 12Cilindri is among the fastest and most powerful front-engined sports cars in history.

The 12Cilindri’s long-hood and cab-rearward proportions nod to classic Ferrari GTs of the 1950s and ‘60s, including a black band across the hood that’s a cheeky callback to the 365 GTB/4 “Daytona.”

The naturally aspirated V-12 delivers 500 ft lbs of torque, 80 percent of which is available at 2,500 rpm.

Versus its 788 hp predecessor in the 812 Superfast, the engine spins up 31 more horses and gets titanium connecting rods that are 40 percent lighter, a lightened crankshaft and pistons, and valve-train components derived directly from Ferrari’s F1 engines, boosting mechanical efficiency.

The dual-cockpit design aims for near mirror-image layouts for the driver and passenger—all hand assembled and lavishly decked with carbon fiber and stitched leather.

The interior of the 12Cilindri gets a 10.2-inch central display.

With a wheelbase that’s 0.8 inches shorter than that of the 812 Superfast, and four-wheel steering that virtually shortens it further, the 12Cilindri has enhanced poise in the corners.

This Prancing Horse covers zero to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 211 mph.

At the back, an integrated pair of black winglets rise up to 10 degrees to boost downforce.

The Ferrari 12Cilindri coupe and spider variants are priced starting at $464,000 and $510,400, respectively.
