Let’s get this out of the way: All Ferraris are special, but there some are better than others. Meet the 12Cilindri, the company’s latest flagship V-12. AT a time when the rest of the industry, including Ferrari, are moving towards electrification, the 12 Cilindri is a throwback to the way things used to be. No, it doesn’t have a manual transmission—oh to dream!—but it is a front-engined grand tourer with a design that’s athletic and sophisticated. Of course, the real story here, as the name underscores, is the 12-cylinder engine beneath the vehicle’s long hood. The 6.5-liter mill pumps out 819 horses and 500 ft lbs of twist. Thanks to that, the two-seater can sprint hit 62 mph in under three seconds. It’s little wonder the latest Prancing Horse coupé starts at $430,000, with the open-top version commanding a 10-percent premium.
