Interestingly, Ferrari engineers have employed titanium connecting rods, a lighter aluminium alloy for the pistons, and a rebalanced, lighter crankshaft to allow the engine to achieve its remarkable 9,500 rpm redline. Further F1-derived technology includes sliding finger followers for the valvetrain. An innovative "Aspirated Torque Shaping" (ATS) system also electronically sculpts the torque curve in third and fourth gears for enhanced drivability.
This powerhouse is mated to an 8-speed dual-clutch transaxle, enabling a claimed 0-100 kmph sprint in just 2.9 seconds, and 0-200 km/h in under 7.9 seconds. The top speed is stated to be in excess of 340 kmph. The car also boasts impressive stopping power, with a 100-0 km/h braking distance of 31.4 metres.

Ferrari 12Cilindri: Design
The design, overseen by Flavio Manzoni and the Ferrari Styling Centre, consciously references classic Ferrari Grand Tourers of the 1960s and 70s. A prominent black, full-width element across the bonnet, for instance, is a direct nod to the iconic 365 GTB/4 Daytona. The styling emphasizes clean, geometric lines and incorporates a sophisticated suite of active and passive aerodynamic solutions.
These include active flaps on the rear which can adjust between Low Drag (LD) and High Downforce (HD) configurations – tilting up to 10 degrees at speeds between 60 km/h and 300 km/h to generate up to 50kg of downforce. The underbody features vortex generators to further optimize airflow. The car measures 4,730 mm in length, 2,176 mm in width, and 1,290 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,700 mm and a dry weight of approximately 1,560 kg for the coupe, with a 48.4 per cent front / 51.6 per cent rear weight distribution.

Ferrari 12Cilindri: Chassis
Beneath the striking bodywork, the 12Cilindri features an all-new aluminium chassis, which Ferrari states is 15 per cent stiffer torsionally than its predecessor, the 812 Superfast, and features a 20mm shorter wheelbase for enhanced agility. It also introduces four-wheel independent steering (Ferrari's Virtual Short Wheelbase 3.0 system) and the latest iteration of Side Slip Control (SSC 8.0) for superior handling dynamics.
The braking system is a sophisticated brake-by-wire setup controlling large carbon-ceramic discs (398mm front, 360mm rear). The 12Cilindri rides on 21-inch wheels front and rear, shod with either Michelin Pilot Sport S5 or Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport tires.
The 12Cilindri takes inspiration from the Purosangue and 296 GTB, marking the first Ferrari GT in its segment to move entirely away from traditional analogue gauges.
Ferrari 12Cilindri: Cabin and features
Inside, the 12Cilindri takes inspiration from the Purosangue and 296 GTB, marking the first Ferrari GT in its segment to move entirely away from traditional analogue gauges. The new digital Human-Machine Interface (HMI) features a large 15.6-inch curved display for the driver, a 10.25-inch central capacitive touchscreen for infotainment and climate controls, and an 8.8-inch display for the passenger, enhancing their involvement in the driving experience.

Energy major TotalEnergies ‘committed' to support Adani Green's growth: CEO
Paris: Patrick Pouyanne, Chairman and CEO of the French energy giant TotalEnergies, has said the company is committed to continuing to support the expansion of Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL). In a meeting with Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal here, Pouyanne said they are committed to continuing to support the expansion of Adani Green, 'which already has 14 gigawatts of capacity,' and we 'will continue to support this growth.' Pouyanne also outlined TotalEnergies' broader Indian expansion plans, including increased energy exports from the US. Goyal also posted on X: 'Met Patrick Pouyanne, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies and discussed the company's investment plans for India and avenues for deeper collaboration in the renewable energy sector'. The French energy major has about $5 billion worth of investments in India, focusing on natural gas infrastructure, city gas development, and renewable energy projects, particularly solar and wind. In January 2021, TotalEnergies collaborated with Adani Green for the first time when it acquired a minority stake in the renewable energy company. Last month, Adani Green Energy Limited became the world's first renewable energy (RE) Independent Power Producer (IPP) to turn water positive across its entire operational portfolio, which exceeds a massive 14 GW capacity. AGEL achieved water positivity a year ahead of its FY26 target to set a new standard for sustainability. It is the first and only among the top 10 global companies (in terms of operational RE portfolio) to ever reach this milestone. Adani Green posted robust FY25 results, surpassing $1 billion in EBITDA, as operational renewable energy (RE) capacity grew a healthy 30 per cent to 14.2 GW (year-on-year), which continues to be India's largest. The Adani Group company reported greenfield addition of 3.3 GW in FY25, India's highest ever by any RE firm, and contributed 16 per cent of nationwide utility-scale solar and 14 per cent of wind installations last fiscal. AGEL is developing a massive 30 GW renewable energy plant at Khavda in Gujarat. This is spread over an area of 538 sq km, almost five times the city of Paris.

Electric cars key to India's energy independence, says IEA chief
Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads India should prioritize electric vehicle (EV) adoption to reduce its dependence on oil imports and strengthen energy security, International Energy Agency (IEA) Executive Director Fatih Birol said on Monday after a meeting with Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal."India should look at the electrification of mobility very closely because currently we have low oil prices, but the country is definitely at the mercy of some key oil producers," Birol warned. "If India wants to have the upper hand in terms of domestic energy trajectories, electric cars are one of the key solutions."The IEA chief highlighted the rapid global shift toward electric vehicles, noting that electric car sales have surged from just 3 per cent of total car sales four years ago to 25% this year. "One out of four cars sold today is electric," he said. "This is mainly because electric cars are getting cheaper, slowly but surely."In many countries, electric and conventional vehicles now carry similar price tags, while operating costs favour EVs. "In most countries around the world, driving one kilometre costs less with electricity than with oil, unless oil prices fall below $50," Birol predicted that electric vehicles will eventually dominate global transportation. "The world is going to see that sooner or later, electric cars will be dominating the streets."Birol praised India as "one of the drivers of the global clean energy transition," particularly highlighting the country's solar energy achievements. "India has achieved a huge success story, especially on the solar front, and this is good for India's economy and its energy security," he IEA executive director also commended India's LED bulb program, calling Minister Goyal its architect and describing it as "one of the most successful programs in the history of energy transition." The initiative has made India's electrification system more cost-effective and environmentally also praised the Ujjwala program for bringing clean cooking solutions to hundreds of millions of households and for its efforts to provide electricity access to Indian concerns about the energy transition's supply chain, Birol warned of growing concentration in critical mineral mining and processing. "We are seeing major concentration. This is a worry because we at the IEA believe that the best energy security policy is diversification," he concentration of critical minerals--essential for energy transition, defense, and chip manufacturing--poses "serious risk for the years to come," he warned. Birol urged all countries to diversify mining, refining, and processing of key critical minerals to avoid potential supply oil-importing nations like India, Birol recommended government incentives to accelerate electric vehicle adoption. "Countries importing oil should consider giving incentives to electric cars to reduce imports from different parts of the world," he emphasized the importance of supporting consumers in purchasing their first electric vehicles, noting that countries must avoid falling behind in the electric car concerns about potential trade conflicts affecting the energy transition, Birol maintained that diversification remains the best strategy for ensuring energy security in an increasingly electrified world.
