2026 Ferrari 12Cilindri Price in Australia

Ferrari 12Cilindri is the latest expression of Ferrari’s front-engine V12 grand-touring tradition and remains part of Ferrari’s current global distribution in 2026. In Australia it replaces the conceptual space previously occupied by cars such as the 812 Superfast, but with a cleaner and more modern design inspired by classic Ferrari GTs of the 1950s and 1960s. The model is offered as a two-seat coupe, while a related 12Cilindri Spider provides open-top driving for buyers who want the same V12 character with a retractable roof.

The centrepiece is the 6,496 cc naturally aspirated 65-degree V12. Ferrari lists maximum output at 830 cv at 9,250 rpm and torque at 678 Nm at 7,250 rpm, with the engine capable of revving to 9,500 rpm. The compression ratio is 13.5:1 and specific output is 128 cv per litre. Unlike many modern high-performance cars, the 12Cilindri uses neither turbocharging nor hybrid assistance, making the engine’s sound, throttle response and linear power delivery central to the experience.

Power goes to the rear wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. Official performance is extraordinary for a front-engine grand tourer: 0–100 km/h takes 2.9 seconds, 0–200 km/h takes less than 7.9 seconds and top speed exceeds 340 km/h. The dry weight is approximately 1,560 kg with optional lightweight equipment, and weight distribution is 48.4 percent front and 51.6 percent rear.

Ferrari uses its latest Side Slip Control 8.0 architecture, integrating traction control, electronic differential, adaptive suspension management, Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer, electric power steering, ABS Evo and a six-dimensional sensor. Brake-by-wire control and large carbon-ceramic brakes provide repeatable stopping performance, with Ferrari quoting a 100–0 km/h braking distance of only 31.4 metres.

Aerodynamics are designed to remain visually subtle. Active devices at the rear can alter their angle according to speed and driving conditions, helping balance low drag and high-speed stability. The long bonnet opens in reverse to expose the V12, while the rear uses four exhaust outlets and a distinctive dark upper section inspired by classic Ferrari design themes.

The cabin is more grand-touring focused than Ferrari’s mid-engine cars. A digital driver display, central infotainment screen and passenger display create a three-screen layout, while high-quality leather, Alcantara, carbon fibre and metal trim can be configured extensively. The coupe offers a 270-litre boot and a 92-litre fuel tank, making it much more suitable for long-distance touring than a pure track-oriented Ferrari. Combined WLTC consumption is officially listed at 15.5 L/100km, reflecting the demands of the large naturally aspirated V12.

Australian buyers can choose from Ferrari’s extensive regular, historical and Tailor Made paint catalogue. Common and representative finishes include Rosso Corsa, Rosso Imola, Nero Daytona, Bianco Avus, Blu Corsa, Grigio Silverstone, Grigio Titanio Metallizzato and Verde Zeltweg. The 12Cilindri’s strongest appeal is that it combines cutting-edge chassis electronics with a traditional naturally aspirated Ferrari V12. Against high-end GT rivals, its price and running costs are formidable, but few new cars offer the same mechanical character or sense of occasion.
