Ferrari continues its legacy of crafting high-performance V12-powered sports cars with the introduction of the 12Cilindri Spider, a successor to the 812 Superfast. The new model, carrying the torch of nearly 80 years of V12 heritage since the 125 S debuted in 1947, integrates modern technology with the classic front-engine, rear-wheel-drive configuration that has defined much of Ferrari's history.

The 125 S, Ferrari's first V12-powered sports car, secured the automaker's inaugural race victory and five additional wins in its debut year across 14 events, setting the stage for Ferrari's reputation in the realm of high-performance vehicles. While Ferrari has increasingly incorporated forced induction and electrification into its lineup, the 12Cilindri Spider represents a continuation of its tradition of naturally aspirated V12 engines.

The 12Cilindri incorporates advanced performance technologies, including an active aero system and a four-wheel steering system, enhancing its handling and aerodynamic capabilities. Ferrari's approach balances cutting-edge innovation with a respect for its historical designs. The company has not yet released specific performance figures for the 12Cilindri, but expectations are high given its lineage and technological advancements.
