It uses a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 rated at 819 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic and rear-wheel drive. Ferrari also fits rear-wheel steering, Side Slip Control 8.0, and Aspirated Torque Shaping to sharpen responses without changing the layout. Buyers can choose either the fixed-roof Coupe or the open-top Spider.2025-2026 Ferrari 12CilindriFerrariWhat's New for 2026?The 12Cilindri enters 2026 with no major changes. Ferrari introduced the model for 2025 as the successor to the 812 Superfast, and the second model year carries over its hardware and design. That means the same naturally aspirated V12, the same 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the same chassis technologies remain in place. The Spider continues alongside the Coupe, giving buyers a choice between a grand touring coupe and a fabric-roof convertible.2025-2026 Ferrari 12CilindriFerrariView the 2 images of this gallery on the original articleExteriorFerrari gave the 12Cilindri a cleaner, more geometric look than the 812 Superfast it replaces. The long hood, short rear deck, and cab-rearward stance preserve the classic Ferrari V12 formula, while the front fascia and black horizontal band create a more contemporary face. At the rear, active aerodynamic flaps help manage airflow without a conventional fixed spoiler. Standard 21-inch wheels fill the arches. Ferrari 12Cilindri Coupe bodywork looks restrained by supercar standards, but the proportions still make its purpose obvious.2025-2026 Ferrari 12CilindriFerrariView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleInteriorThe cabin takes a more digital approach than older front-engine Ferraris. A 15.6-inch driver display, a 10.25-inch central touchscreen, and an 8.8-inch passenger display define the dashboard, while wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and wireless charging are standard. Ferrari uses a dual-cockpit layout that gives both occupants their own visual space. Material quality is appropriately high, and the available Burmester audio system adds another upscale touch. Practicality remains limited with a 10 cu-ft. Trunk for the Coupe, while the Spider drops the cargo area to 7.0 cu-ft.2025-2026 Ferrari 12Cilindri interiorFerrariAdvertisementAdvertisementView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articlePrice Range and Best Value TrimThe 2026 Ferrari 12Cilindri's price starts at close to half a million dollars:Trim LevelPriceBase (cheapest): 12Cilindri Coupe~$465,994Top (most expensive): 12Cilindri Spider~$512,394Best value: 12Cilindri Coupe~$465,994There are two body styles, and the best value is the Coupe, as it offers the same V12 powertrain and core hardware at a lower entry point.Key SpecsEvery 2026 12Cilindri uses Ferrari's 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12, mounted up front and sending power to the rear wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic. Peak output arrives at high revs, and the engine spins to a 9,500-rpm redline. Ferrari supplements the package with rear-wheel steering and electronic chassis systems that manage traction, stability, and torque delivery.PowertrainSpecDetailEngine6.5L Naturally Aspirated V12 (F140)Horsepower819 hp @ 9,250 rpmTorque500 lb-ft @ 7,250 rpmRedline9,500 rpmTransmission8-speed Dual-Clutch (DCT)DrivetrainRear-Wheel Drive0-60 mph2.9 secondsTop Speed211+ mphFuel Economy (MPG)Fuel economy is predictably weak next to most high-end GT rivals, though the Coupe's highway rating edges past the Spider's.

It blends a high-revving naturally aspirated engine with modern chassis technology, strong straight-line performance, and enough luggage space in Coupe form to support its grand-touring mission. The digital-heavy cabin will not please every traditionalist, and the price remains firmly in ultra-exotic territory, but the fundamentals are hard to argue with. As a Ferrari 12Cilindri Coupe, it is the stronger buy. As a statement piece, the 2026 12Cilindri stands among the last great naturally aspirated V12 road cars.2025 Ferrari 12CilindriFerrariCompetitorsAston Martin VanquishLamborghini RevueltoMcLaren 750SBentley Continental GTAston Martin DB12AdvertisementAdvertisementThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Jul 30, 2026, where it first appeared in the Cars section.
