The F80 wasn’t the only grand premiere at the recently concluded Universo Ferrari experience. Also making its debut in Southeast Asia is the Ferrari 12Cilindri.
It was a two-for-one treat during the exhibit, and certainly one that delighted the visitors. The 12Cilindri was first unveiled in May 2024 and serves as the successor to the 812.

This Ferrari grand tourer is a rarity these days, mainly because of its engine. In an age of downsized turbocharged powertrains, the 12Cilindri wears its V12 heart on its sleeve. If that’s not enough, it’s a naturally aspirated mill. That’s right: No turbo, no electrification, and as pure as an engine gets.
You want stats? The 6.5-liter V12 punches out 820hp and 677Nm. It can hit 100kph in just 2.9 seconds, and 200kph can be achieved in as little as 7.8 seconds. Keep stamping on that accelerator and you’ll eventually reach its top speed of 340kph.
Unlike the F80, you have better chances of spotting the Ferrari 12Cilindri on the road someday. Production won’t be limited, per se, and it will be more ‘accessible’ as far as Ferrari’s customer base is concerned.
Should you have at least P30-M lying around to spend on a car, you have the choice of two body styles. The first is the traditional hardtop, while the second is the open top with a roof that tucks into the trunk in just 14 seconds. For billionaires, we suggest going for the latter to make the most of that V12 symphony.
As for the local launch, that is yet to be determined.
