In a world increasingly driven by silence and software, FERRARI dares to roar. The 2025 Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider is not just a convertible—it's a visceral declaration that the symphony of twelve cylinders still holds the power to thrill, seduce, and define a generation of driving. At a time when most manufacturers are downsizing, hybridizing, or digitizing their way toward efficiency, Ferrari delivers something radically different: a naturally aspirated V12 masterpiece, sculpted into a roofless grand tourer that’s equal parts performance, art, and rebellion.
FERRARI 12Cilindri Spider is a striking fusion of Italian design heritage and motorsport DNA, capturing attention with every sculpted line. Its bold proportions and aerodynamic elegance express performance even at a standstill, embodying Ferrari’s uncompromising pursuit of form and function. At the core of its versatility is the Retractable Hard Top (RHT)—a masterfully engineered system that preserves the car’s sleek silhouette while enhancing open-air freedom. With its innovative double-curve design over the driver and passenger, the RHT optimizes cabin space and comfort without sacrificing aesthetics. Seamlessly operated in just 14 seconds at speeds up to 27 mph, it transforms the 12Cilindri Spider from a refined coupe to a thrilling roadster with effortless sophistication.

Classic DNA, Reimagined for the Wind
The 12Cilindri Spider wears its heritage like a tailored Italian suit. Drawing inspiration from legends like the 365 GTB/4 Daytona, it echoes the proportions of Ferrari’s golden era—long, elegant bonnet, compact cabin set rearward, and sinuous, uninterrupted lines. But this isn’t a retro throwback. This is a modern Ferrari design in its purest form. With a retractable hardtop that disappears in just 14 seconds—without disrupting its silhouette—the Spider looks just as sculptural with the roof up or down. Every contour has been wind tunnel tested, not only to seduce the eye but to slice clean through the air.
The Glorious Heartbeat of Maranello
Beneath the sculpted bonnet lies the soul of this machine: a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12, revving to a goosebump-inducing 9,500 rpm. It delivers 819 horsepower, 500 lb-ft of torque, and a sound so intoxicating, it’s practically a form of opera. Launch it from 0 to 62 mph in 2.95 seconds, and you’ll feel more than speed—you’ll feel history, adrenaline, and freedom all at once. And with a top speed of 211 mph, this Ferrari is more than just powerful—it’s alive.

A Cabin That Captivates
Step into the Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider, and you’re immediately enveloped in a space where design meets desire. The cabin showcases Italian craftsmanship at its finest—draped in luxurious leather, sculpted with precision, and finished with an attention to detail that borders on obsession. The signature dual-cockpit architecture pays homage to Ferrari’s grand touring heritage, while modern luxuries like the Burmester surround sound system and seamlessly integrated controls redefine what it means to travel in style. From the hand-stitched seams to the fluid interface of its digital displays, every element reflects Ferrari’s enduring commitment to elegance, innovation, and the joy of the drive.

The Speed & Precision
At the heart of the Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider lies Maranello’s legendary naturally aspirated V12, delivering an exhilarating 830 hp at a soaring 9,500 rpm—the purest embodiment of Ferrari performance. This engine benefits from cutting-edge developments first seen in the 812 Competizione, including titanium connecting rods, lightweight aluminum alloy pistons, and an exhaust system with ceramic catalytic converters. Inspired by Formula 1, sliding finger followers reduce friction at high-stress points, enhancing efficiency and overall output. Paired with Ferrari’s acclaimed 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, gear shifts are lightning-fast and seamlessly precise. A newly designed 6-in-1 exhaust manifold and repositioned intake resonators give the 12Cilindri Spider its unmistakable V12 howl—richer, cleaner, and more resonant across all driving modes.
Additionally, Aspirated Torque Shaping (ATS) technology sculpts the torque curve electronically in the third and fourth gears, maintaining high acceleration while enhancing throttle response and driving engagement.
Beyond Straight Lines: The Joy of the Curve
The 12Cilindri Spider is engineered for more than blistering acceleration. With four-wheel steering, adaptive suspension, and active aerodynamics, it dances through corners with a grace that defies its power. A car equally at home blasting through Alpine passes as it is cruising down coastal highways, blending precision and comfort in a way few grand tourers ever have.
As the automotive world pivots toward electric horizons, the 2025 Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider stands proudly defiant. It’s a final, glorious chapter in the V12 legacy—an engine configuration that has defined Ferrari’s most iconic machines for over seven decades. This isn’t just about performance—it’s about emotion, memory, and celebration. It's the Ferrari you’ll tell your grandchildren about. The one with no batteries, no silence—just twelve cylinders and the open sky.
The 12Cilindri Spider is not the end. It’s the encore. A spine-tingling farewell to the age of mechanical magic—delivered with a roar.
