New flagship Ferrari GT arrives with an 819bhp V12 engine, a two-seat interior and sci-fi looks
According to Ferrari itself, no other current model epitomises the brand quite like the new Ferrari 12Cilindri, a sleek grand tourer with a V12 in its front, driven rear wheels, and two seats inside.Replacing the 812 Superfast, the 12Cilindri (pronounced ‘dodichi chilindri’) is tasked with doing a similar but not quite the same job as its predecessor. They called the 812 ‘Superfast’ because it was meant to be a GT with shades of hyper sports car.The existence today of the SF90 Stradale in the sporting area means that Ferrari has opted to relax its new coupé’s remit. The 12Cilindri is supposed to be a more rounded GT, which I don’t think is a bad thing. Depending on conditions, the 812 could feel hairy.
