Italian supercar giant Ferrari has launched its most powerful car in India yet, the stunning Ferrari 12Cilindri. With its bold design and thunderous V12 engine, this beauty is set to turn heads and dominate highways across the country. Unveiled globally in May 2024 to mark Ferrari's 70th anniversary in the American market, this successor to the 812 Superfast has now been unveiled in India. For the Indian market, the Ferrari 12Cilindri is available in the coupe (Berlinetta) configurations. Let's take a closer look at what makes this car so special. A powerful V12 heart
The name 12Cilindri tells you exactly what's under the hood, a massive 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine. It produces an impressive 819 bhp of power and 678 Nm of torque. The car can race from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds and reach a top speed of over 340 km/h. There's no turbo or hybrid tech here… just pure, raw power. Ferrari claims a top speed of over 340 kmph. Formula 1 technology inside
Ferrari has taken inspiration from its F1 racing heritage and poured that technology into this car. It features titanium connecting rods, lightweight aluminum pistons, and a clever tech called Aspirated Torque Shaping (ATS) that delivers torque based on the gear. The 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission ensures lightning-fast gear changes.
Design that honors the past, with a modern twist
The design of the 12Cilindri pays tribute to the classic Ferrari GT cars from the 1960s, especially the iconic Daytona 365 GTB/4. It features a wide black strip across the bonnet, active aerodynamic flaps that move with speed, a dual-tone body, and 21-inch alloy wheels. It's a mix of old-school elegance and future-ready style. Smartest tech Ferrari has to offer
This Ferrari isn't just about looks and power. It's packed with high-end driving tech like Virtual Short Wheelbase 3.0, which gives each wheel its own steering input for better handling. It also comes with Side Slip Control, Brake-by-Wire technology, and carbon-ceramic disc brakes for precise stopping power. A cabin full of luxury and screens
Step inside and you're greeted by a completely digital cockpit. There's a 15.6-inch driver display, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and even an 8.8-inch passenger display. Ferrari has ditched all analog dials, making the interior look super modern and clean.
This triple-screen setup offers climate controls, navigation, and performance data, and enhances the involvement of the front passenger in the driving experience. Ferrari 12Cilindri Coupe
In India, Ferrari has launched only the coupe (Berlinetta) version of the 12Cilindri. While the price hasn't been officially announced yet, it's expected to cater to a very elite group of super-luxury car buyers. For those who love speed, style, and exclusivity, the Ferrari 12Cilindri is nothing short of a dream on wheels.

In Canada lake, robot learns to mine without disrupting marine life
Three robotic arms extended under the water in a Canadian lake, delicately selecting pebbles from the bed, before storing them back inside the machine. The exercise was part of a series of tests the robot was undergoing before planned deployment in the ocean, where its operators hope the machine can transform the search for the world's most sought-after metals. The robot was made by Impossible Metals, a company founded in California in 2020, which says it is trying to develop technology that allows the seabed to be harvested with limited ecological disruption. Conventional underwater harvesting involves scooping up huge amounts of material in search of potato-sized things called poly-metallic nodules. These nodules contain nickel, copper, cobalt, or other metals needed for electric vehicle batteries, among other key products. Impossible Metals' co-founder Jason Gillham told AFP his company's robot looks for the nodules "in a selective way." The prototype, being tested in the province of Ontario, remains stationary in the water, hovering over the lake bottom. In a lab, company staff monitor the yellow robot on screens, using what looks like a video game console to direct its movements. Using lights, cameras and artificial intelligence, the robot tries to identify the sought-after nodules while leaving aquatic life such as octopuses' eggs, coral, or sponges undisturbed. In a first for the nascent sector, Impossible Metals has requested a permit from US President Donald Trump to use its robot in American waters around Samoa, in the Pacific. The company is hoping that its promise of limited ecological disruption will give it added appeal. Competitors, like The Metals Company, use giant machines that roll along the seabed and suck up the nodules, a highly controversial technique. Douglas McCauley, a marine biologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara, told AFP this method scoops up ocean floor using collectors or excavators, "a bit like bulldozers," he explained. Everything is then brought up to ships, where the nodules are separated from waste, which is tossed back into the ocean. This creates large plumes of sediment and toxins with a multitude of potential impacts, he said. A less invasive approach, like that advocated by Impossible Metals, would reduce the risk of environmental damage, McCauley explained. But he noted lighter-touch harvesting is not without risk. The nodules themselves also harbor living organisms, and removing them even with a selective technique, involves destroying the habitat, he said. Impossible Metals admits its technology cannot detect microscopic life, but the company claims to have a policy of leaving 60 percent of the nodules untouched. McCauley is unconvinced, explaining "ecosystems in the deep ocean are especially fragile and sensitive." "Life down there moves very slowly, so they reproduce very slowly, they grow very slowly." Duncan Currie of the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition said it was impossible to assess the impact of any deep sea harvesting. "We don't know enough yet either in terms of the biodiversity and the ecosystem down there," he told AFP. According to the international scientific initiative Ocean Census, only 250,000 species are known, out of the two million that are estimated to populate the oceans. Mining is "always going to have some impact," said Impossible Metals chief executive and co-founder Oliver Gunasekara, who has spent most of his career in the semiconductor field. But, he added, "we need a lot more critical minerals, as we want to electrify everything." Illustrating the global rush toward underwater mining, Impossible Metals has raised US$15 million from investors to build and test a first series of its Eureka 3 robot in 2026. The commercial version will be the size of a shipping container and will expand from three to 16 arms, and its battery will grow from 14 to nearly 200 kilowatt-hours. The robot will be fully autonomous and self-propel, without cables or tethers to the surface, and be equipped with sensors. While awaiting the US green light, the company hopes to finalize its technology within two to three years, conduct ocean tests, build a fleet, and operate through partnerships elsewhere in the world. amp/ico/tib/amc/bs/dw

As a result of the revelation, Naqvi was arrested and is now facing criminal charges for orchestrating one of the biggest private equity frauds in history. 'Viksit Bharat' mission to positively impact the world too: Bill Gates India's ambitious goal of becoming 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047 will not only transform the country but also positively impact the world, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has said. According to the billionaire philanthropist, if India can stay on the path of the 2047 plan, 'it will be beneficial not just to India but to the whole world'. Gates hailed India's digital public infrastructure (DPI), including Aadhaar and UPI, calling it one of the country's most significant contributions to the world. Speaking at a media event in the national capital, he said that prioritising key sectors like health and education in India has created a very positive dynamic. (With inputs from agencies)
