Already, Ferrari has declared the newest car in the category of grand touring: 12Cilindri. The price of the coupe is expected to be ₹8.5 crore, while the open-top Spider will sport a price of about ₹9.15 crore (ex-showroom-India). Expected for launch during the second half of the calendar year.
The 12Cilindri carries on Ferrari’s line of closed grand touring supercars with front engines. Anticipation surrounds this five-year-old beauty since the V12 convertible produces a jaw-dropping 830 bhp from its 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine, delivering power to the rear wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Significantly, one can remember that Ferrari is very adamant about keeping itself pure from turbocharging and all-hybrid engines, maintaining its throne in the realm of true performance engineering.
Visually, the 12Cilindri pays homage to the great Ferrari V12 berlinettas from its storied past, with strong inspiration aesthetics drawn from the 365 GTB/4 Daytona. Featuring a change of heart, the coupe and spider will be delivered right away to patrons in India, breaking Ferrari’s customary norm of launching convertibles several years after the coupé.
Ferrari has spelt out various features that are quintessential and are expected to form part of the basic Ruthural package for the Indian market. In the coming days, more details will be left and applied over on this. Extras for the clients like nose-lifting, the Scuderia Ferrari horseman on front’ fenders, painted calipers, and certainly some interior trim personalization would add a small touch of comfort for the prospective buyers to justify the super-premium price tag.
To underline, this 12Cilindri is quite a catch in the pricing ballpark that begins below the Purosangue naming price that had a rollout price tag of ₹10.5 crore in 2024. Probably, Purosangue will see more traction in terms of acceptance where it shinier in India.
