Ferrari's newest front-engine V12 grand tourer replaces the 812 Superfast with 830 horsepower, a 9,500 RPM redline, and styling that splits opinion. Here's everything Miami buyers need to know about specs, pricing, allocations, and when deliveries begin.

The Ferrari 12Cilindri is Ferrari's definitive statement that the naturally aspirated V12 isn't going anywhere — not yet. Unveiled in mid-2024 as the successor to the 812 Superfast and 812 Competizione, the 12Cilindri (Italian for "12 cylinders," in case the name wasn't blunt enough) is a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive grand tourer built around Ferrari's most powerful road-going naturally aspirated engine ever. For Miami buyers who've been waiting for the next chapter in Ferrari's V12 lineage, this is the car — and understanding specs, pricing, and the allocation process now will matter when deliveries hit South Florida showrooms.

This guide covers everything about the Ferrari 12Cilindri: full specifications, how it compares to the 812 it replaces, expected pricing in Miami, the allocation and ordering process, and what to watch for if you're trying to get one.

Ferrari 12Cilindri Specs: The Numbers That Matter

The 12Cilindri is built on a new platform that carries forward the front-mid-mounted V12, rear-transaxle layout Ferrari has perfected over decades. But nearly everything has been reworked.

SpecificationFerrari 12CilindriFerrari 12Cilindri Spider

Top Speed211 mph206 mph
Weight (dry)3,450 lbs3,550 lbs

Length184.8 inches

The headline is that 6.5-liter V12. It's an evolution of the F140 engine family that's powered every front-engine Ferrari V12 since the Enzo, but it's been extensively revised: new intake runners, redesigned combustion chambers, a higher compression ratio, and revised cam timing all contribute to the 18-horsepower bump over the 812 Superfast (and the same output as the limited-run 812 Competizione). The torque curve is broader, with 80% of peak torque available from 2,500 RPM — unusual for a high-revving naturally aspirated engine.

Ferrari 12Cilindri Design: A Departure From the 812

The 12Cilindri's design has been the most discussed aspect of the car since its reveal. Ferrari's design team, led by Flavio Manzoni, took a deliberately clean, almost minimalist approach that breaks sharply from the aggressive aero sculpting of the 812. The front end features a full-width light bar (a first for a Ferrari road car), a smooth hood with minimal vents, and a face that's more GT than supercar. The rear is equally clean — a horizontal taillight strip, a functional diffuser, and quad exhaust tips integrated into the lower bumper.

Opinions are divided. Some enthusiasts think it looks like a design study for a different brand; others see it as Ferrari maturing into a new design language that will age well. What's not debatable: it photographs beautifully from certain angles and looks substantially different from anything else on the road. In a Miami context — where standing out at Bal Harbour or on Collins Avenue matters — the 12Cilindri will turn heads precisely because it doesn't look like the "typical" Ferrari.

Ferrari 12Cilindri Interior and Technology

Inside, the 12Cilindri continues Ferrari's recent trend toward digital cockpits with minimal physical buttons. The key features:

  • Dual-screen layout: A 15.6-inch curved digital instrument cluster for the driver, plus an optional 8.8-inch passenger display that shows speed, RPM, navigation, and media controls
  • Capacitive touch controls: Climate, driving modes, and infotainment managed through haptic touch surfaces on the center bridge and steering wheel
  • New steering wheel: Smaller diameter, with integrated shift lights, turn signal controls, and driving mode selectors — no column stalks
  • Improved trunk space: 17.3 cubic feet in the coupe (nearly double the 812), making it a genuinely usable GT car for weekend trips
  • Sound system: Burmester high-end option available for the first time in a Ferrari V12 car

The passenger display is the standout feature for Miami owners who do a lot of co-pilot driving — partners and passengers can follow the route, see what gear the car is in, and control media without touching the driver's screen.

Ferrari 12Cilindri Price: What Miami Buyers Will Pay

Ferrari hasn't published official MSRP for the U.S. market as of early 2026, but based on European pricing, dealer intelligence, and Ferrari's recent pricing strategy, here's what to expect:

ModelExpected Base MSRP (USD)Typical As-Configured (Miami)
12Cilindri Coupe$425,000–$445,000$500,000–$550,000
12Cilindri Spider$470,000–$490,000$550,000–$620,000

For context, the 812 Superfast launched at $335,275 and ended production around $398,000 before options. The 12Cilindri represents a meaningful price increase — roughly 15–20% — reflecting Ferrari's ongoing strategy to move upmarket. Options will easily add $75,000–$125,000: custom paint (Tailor Made programs start at $25,000+), carbon fiber packages, special leather hides, and the passenger display are all extra.

Will There Be a Markup Over MSRP?

Almost certainly — at least initially. The 812 Competizione and SF90 XX Stradale both commanded significant markups when new, and the 12Cilindri is the only naturally aspirated V12 GT car left on the market (Aston Martin's V12 Vantage is sold out; Lamborghini has moved to hybrid). Miami's Ferrari dealership — The Collection in Coral Gables — will likely see strong demand from local collectors. Expect $50,000–$150,000 over sticker for early production slots, settling to MSRP or modest markups within 18–24 months of first deliveries.

Ferrari 12Cilindri Allocation: How to Get One in Miami

Ferrari's allocation system has become increasingly strict. Here's what matters:

  • Existing client priority: Buyers who've purchased new Ferraris from an authorized dealer (especially The Collection or other South Florida dealers) will get first access. If you've bought one or two new Ferraris in the past five years, you have a reasonable shot at an early allocation.
  • No walk-in orders: You cannot simply walk into The Collection and order a 12Cilindri. Production slots are allocated to dealers, who then offer them to their best clients.
  • Build slot timing: First U.S. deliveries are expected in late 2025 / early 2026. If you haven't already secured a slot, realistic delivery timing is late 2026 to mid-2027.
  • Spider vs. Coupe allocation: The Spider typically has a longer wait — Ferrari often prioritizes coupe production initially. Miami buyers tend to want the Spider (obviously), which means even more competition for those slots.

Ferrari 12Cilindri vs. 812 Superfast: What Changed

Feature812 Superfast12Cilindri
Power789 hp830 hp (+41)
Torque530 lb-ft678 lb-ft (+148)
Transmission7-speed DCT8-speed DCT

Weight (dry)3,362 lbs3,450 lbs
Trunk Space~9 cu ft17.3 cu ft
Rear-Wheel SteeringYes (Virtual Short Wheelbase)Yes (evolved system)
Design LanguageAggressive, sculptedClean, minimalist

The biggest mechanical improvement is the torque increase — 148 more lb-ft makes the 12Cilindri significantly more flexible in everyday driving. The new 8-speed gearbox is smoother and allows Ferrari to keep the engine in its powerband across a wider speed range. Weight has increased slightly, but the chassis rigidity is up 15%, and the suspension geometry is entirely new with adaptive magnetorheological dampers as standard.

Ferrari 12Cilindri for Miami: Why It Makes Sense

Miami and front-engine Ferrari V12s have a long history together. The 550 Maranello, 599 GTB, F12, and 812 Superfast all became fixtures of the South Florida car scene because they offer something Lamborghinis and mid-engine Ferraris don't: genuine grand touring comfort with supercar performance. You can drive a 12Cilindri from Miami to Key West without needing a chiropractor afterward. You can load golf clubs in the trunk. You can have a normal conversation at highway speed.

The Spider variant is the obvious choice for Miami. The retractable hardtop folds in 14 seconds, the cabin is well-insulated at speed, and the V12 soundtrack — which is the real reason anyone buys this car — is spectacular with the roof down. On a warm evening on the MacArthur Causeway, with 830 naturally aspirated horsepower behind you and Biscayne Bay beside you, the 12Cilindri Spider will be hard to beat.

Should You Wait for the 12Cilindri or Buy an 812?

This depends on your priorities:

  • Buy an 812 Superfast now if: You want immediate availability, proven reliability, aggressive styling, and potentially lower total cost. Clean 812s with under 10,000 miles trade in the $350,000–$420,000 range in Miami right now — well below what a 12Cilindri will cost.
  • Buy an 812 Competizione if you can find one: The Comp is the more extreme, track-focused V12 and will almost certainly appreciate. They're trading above $800,000 and climbing.
  • Wait for the 12Cilindri if: You want the latest technology, the most powerful NA V12 Ferrari has ever made, the improved interior, and you have the dealer relationship to secure an allocation.

There's also a collector argument: the 12Cilindri may be the last naturally aspirated V12 Ferrari ever makes. EU emissions regulations are tightening, and Ferrari's next-generation models are increasingly electrified. If that turns out to be true, early 12Cilindri examples — especially Spiders in desirable specs — could become very collectible.

Where to See and Order the Ferrari 12Cilindri in Miami

Miami's authorized Ferrari dealer is The Collection in Coral Gables (200 Bird Road). They handle all new Ferrari sales, service, and allocation requests for the greater Miami area. If you're a new customer, the best approach is to contact their sales team, express interest in the 12Cilindri, and discuss what your path to an allocation looks like — which typically means purchasing a current-production Ferrari first (Roma, 296 GTB, or Purosangue).

For those who can't wait, early 12Cilindri allocations will inevitably appear on the secondary market through consignment dealers along Biscayne Boulevard and in the Design District. Expect to pay a premium of $50,000–$150,000 over sticker for the first year of production.

Ferrari 12Cilindri: The Bottom Line for Miami Buyers

The Ferrari 12Cilindri is the most powerful, most refined, and most technologically advanced front-engine V12 Ferrari has ever built. Whether its divisive styling works for you is a personal call — but the driving experience, by all early accounts, is extraordinary. The naturally aspirated V12 at 9,500 RPM is one of the last great automotive sounds, and Ferrari has wrapped it in a grand tourer that's more livable, more practical, and more comfortable than the car it replaces.

For Miami buyers, the key decisions are simple: coupe or Spider (Spider, obviously), and whether you have the dealer relationship to secure an allocation at MSRP. If you do, the 12Cilindri is one of the most compelling new Ferraris in years. If you don't, the 812 Superfast remains a spectacular alternative — and it's available right now.
