Very few associations can exhilarate and delight like the union between a naturally aspirated V12 Ferrari engine and open-top motoring. The Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider, unveiled today at an exclusive event hosted at Miami Beach, fuses these two very special sensations in a two-seater Berlinetta spider powered by Ferrari’s iconic twelve-cylinder engine. This iteration of the V12 delivers 830 CVs and keeps revving right up to 9500 rpm, offering the driver and passenger an even more exclusive open-air driving experience.
The concept giving shape to the Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider draws inspiration from open-topped Ferrari Gran Turismo models of the 1950s and ’60s, which combined the unmatched performance of a road-going racing car with the unique opportunity to revel in the sound of the 12-cylinder engine with the roof down and extraordinary long-distance driving comfort. The design of the vehicle makes a break from the recent canons of the Ferrari two-seater Berlinetta spider genre, eschewing muscularity and sensuality in favour of a more futuristic language founded on formal purity with only the barest hint of a typically automotive visual lexicon.
The Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider is intended for both connoisseurs of the marque with a clear vision of what Ferrari has stood for in the motoring world since 1947 and newer Ferraristi who dream of a car that lets them combine unmatched driving thrills with comfort and Italian design—and the possibility of enjoying the wind in their hair. This truly is a car for the few.
