Ferrari fits a folding hard top to its V12-engined grand tourer
The Ferrari 12Cilindri coupé is a more relaxed-feeling car than the 812 Superfast that preceded it because of the existence of the SF90 Stradale. Now is our chance to try it as a convertible, or the Spider in Ferrari speak.The 12Cilindri Spider is the folding-topped version of Ferrari’s grandest V12 tourer, which will go on UK sale this autumn and cost from £366,500 before you specify a single option – and you can bet a Ferrari retailer will encourage you to do that.The SF90 being the brand’s performance leader meant that, when developing the 12Cilindri, Ferrari was able to lean into its grand touring capabilities more than it had in the recent past. It didn’t need to be the most powerful, most focused car in the range. But as we will see, it’s still incredibly potent, fast, and rewarding to drive.
