Ferrari 12Cilindri Berlinetta 2024

The name 12Cilindri does not refer to a place, driver or race victory; it directly describes the car’s mechanical layout. Ferrari chose an unusually explicit name for a flagship model. The front-end treatment also recalls the 365 GTB/4 Daytona, particularly through its dark horizontal band and relatively restrained face. The design is not a literal retro recreation. Ferrari describes the car instead as a new visual language that places its V12 heritage in a contemporary setting.

Ferrari introduced the 12Cilindri Berlinetta as a series-production model, but the sources consulted do not provide an official total production figure. It is therefore not possible to state that the car is limited to a specific number of examples. The model belongs to Ferrari’s regular V12 berlinetta range and was unveiled alongside the related Spider. Availability, pricing and delivery timing can vary by market and by customer specification. Without published information on production volumes, regional allocations or factory quotas, any estimate would be speculative. The absence of a stated production number should not be confused with confirmation of unlimited availability, since Ferrari’s commercial arrangements can differ between markets.

Early road tests published in 2024 generally praised the V12 engine, the fast eight-speed transmission and the balance between comfort and performance. Autocar characterized the 12Cilindri as more predictable and calmer than the 812 Superfast, although this came with some loss of its sharper sporting edge. Motor Sport Magazine likewise emphasized its grand-touring purpose and its visual relationship with the Daytona, while noting that the car did not feel as naturally suited to circuit driving. The reception was therefore not focused solely on outright speed. Instead, the early consensus presented the 12Cilindri as a very fast, refined and road-oriented Ferrari V12, with a more approachable character than its predecessor.
