12Cilindi Cavallo
Out of the prancing horse stable this month, a new V12 beast has escaped for the Ferrari enthusiasts amongst us to round up.
Known as the 12Cilindri, this new two seater dons a naturally aspirated V12 6.5 litre engine that can rev to 9500 rpm.
Ferrari quote a 2.9 second 0-62 time and a top speed in excess of 212 mph. The inspiration of the V12 is from the Gran Turismo’s of yesterday that lived in the 50’s and 60’s. The front design is a nod to the 365GTB Daytona. The eight speed Dual Clutch Transmission aids effortless motorway journeys in its top gear.
Inside the cockpit is the usual latest driver comprehensive instrumentation looked over by the large glass roof which enhances the feeling of space in the cabin.
Ferrari use their dual cockpit design, similar to the Roma and Purosangue to ensure that the passenger – with naturally no engagement in the driving, does not miss out on the ambience that has been created with the multi-level dashboard design.
The rear exterior has two active flaps instead of a rear spoiler that forms a delta wing. Twenty-one inch wheels all round with the usual wider spinning alloy rims at the rear. The rear wheel steering improves cornering during rapid direction changes and aids the near 50/50 weight distribution.
A car that most would not kick off their driveway. A spyder version is coming soon. Hopefully it will bring some sunshine with it in time for our English summer.
