Rocket-like supercar arrives in India..., can race from 0-100 km/h in Just 2.9 seconds, interior so luxurious that...., name is.... 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.

Ferrari 12Cilindri: Here are 5 key highlights of the supercar every enthusiast should know
The Ferrari 12Cilindri is built keeping in mind the classic Ferrari Grand Tourers of the 60s and the 70s. Ferrari has officially brought the 12Cilindri to India, following its global debut in May 2024. Designed to replace the 812 Superfast, the new Berlinetta marks a return to naturally aspirated performance while incorporating modern design and technology. Here are five key highlights that define this latest addition to Ferrari's V12 lineage. 1 Engine and performance As its name implies, the 12Cilindri is powered by a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12, internally referred to as the F140HD. It produces 819 bhp at 9,250 rpm and 678 Nm of torque at 7,250 rpm, with a redline at 9,500 rpm. The engine has no turbochargers or hybrid components, a rarity today, and draws mechanical inspiration from the 812 Competizione. Ferrari engineers have used titanium connecting rods and a lighter aluminium alloy for the pistons to reduce reciprocating mass, while the crankshaft has been rebalanced and lightened for higher revving capabilities. Technologies like sliding finger followers in the valvetrain and a torque management system called Aspirated Torque Shaping (ATS), which modulates torque in third and fourth gears, reflect Ferrari's Formula 1 influence. 2 Specifications Mated to an 8-speed dual-clutch transaxle, the 12Cilindri can accelerate from 0-100 kmph in 2.9 seconds, and 0 to 200 kmph in under 7.9 seconds. Ferrari claims a top speed of over 340 kmph. Despite lacking forced induction, the car's high-revving nature and responsive gearbox deliver a sharp performance profile. The braking system is equally advanced. It features brake-by-wire control with carbon-ceramic discs measuring 398 mm at the front and 360 mm at the rear, which help the car decelerate from 100 to 0 kmph in just 31.4 metres. The car measures 4,730 mm in length, 2,176 mm in width, and 1,290 mm in height, with a 2,700 mm wheelbase. Its dry weight is around 1,560 kg, distributed 48.4 per cent to the front and 51.6 per cent to the rear. 3 Design Visually, the 12Cilindri's design takes cues from 1960s and 70s Ferrari GTs, especially the 365 GTB/4 Daytona. A full-width black element on the bonnet is a direct reference to that model, while the rest of the body is shaped with clean and geometric lines. Beyond the visual appeal, the car integrates a range of aerodynamic features. Active rear flaps shift between Low Drag and High Downforce modes, tilting up to 10 degrees between speeds of 60 kmph and 300 kmph, generating up to 50 kg of additional downforce. Underbody vortex generators help further manage airflow. 4 Chassis The 12Cilindri rides on an all-new aluminium chassis that's 15 per cent more torsionally rigid than the one in the 812 Superfast. Its wheelbase is shortened by 20 mm, which contributes to better agility. The car is equipped with Ferrari's Virtual Short Wheelbase 3.0, a four-wheel independent steering system that improves stability and cornering dynamics. Also included is Side Slip Control 8.0, which assists with maintaining traction and handling at the limit. The car runs on 21-inch wheels, wrapped in either Michelin Pilot Sport S5 or Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport tyres, depending on the configuration. 5 Interior Inside the 12Cilindri, Ferrari has moved away from analogue instruments entirely. The layout draws from newer models like the Purosangue and 296 GTB, featuring a 15.6-inch curved driver display, a 10.25-inch central infotainment touchscreen, and an 8.8-inch passenger-side display. This triple-screen setup offers climate controls, navigation, and performance data, and enhances the involvement of the front passenger in the driving experience. The overall interior design is minimalist yet high-tech, reflecting a shift toward digital interfaces in Ferrari's GT lineup. Check out Upcoming Cars in India 2024, Best SUVs in India.

Ferrari's luxury game plan takes on Trump's auto tariffs
Luxury automakers like Ferrari (RACE) may be insulated from tariff-fueled price hikes due to their ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) clientele, but even those well-heeled buyers may have their limits. Typically, UHNW buyers aren't dissuaded by price hikes; when demand for a product is strong or in limited supply — for instance, during the pandemic — they are willing to pay premiums for products like Rolex watches, fine scotches, and of course, Ferrari sports cars. It's why Maranello-based Ferrari didn't decrease or fully withdraw its profit guidance for the year during its latest earnings report. The Italian automaker did say, however, that profit metrics like EBIT and EBITDA margins could see a potential 50 basis point hit, depending on how President Trump's trade war plays out, though the possibility of 'offsets' in operations may diminish the impact, management said. Currently, foreign auto imports are subject to 25% tariffs. In response, Ferrari's pricing strategy is noteworthy and two-fold. For its ultra-premium cars like the $1 million+ Daytona SP3, upcoming F80 hypercar, and the new 12Cilindri coupe, the company will hike prices by a maximum of 10%. The thinking is these buyers will at least pay some of the tariff — in some cases, an additional $100,000 — because this 'marginal' amount won't dissuade them from a purchase of a limited-edition Ferrari. All buyers of these highest-end Ferraris are multi-repeat clientele and generally don't balk when Ferrari comes asking. For Ferrari's lower-priced cars, such as the Roma coupe, 296 sports car, and SF90 hybrid sports car, the company will hold prices steady. The thinking here is that these buyers are more price sensitive, and Ferrari faces more competitors in the space, including Aston Martin (ARGGY), Bentley (VWAGY), and Ferrari's regional rival Lamborghini (VWAGY). Ferrari's CEO Benedetto Vigna says his clients appreciate two aspects of Ferrari's pricing strategy. 'No. 1, we've been clarifying right away what we intend to do; and two, that we contribute, OK? We contribute to this price increase,' Vigna said on Ferrari's analyst call on Tuesday, citing talks he's had with customers. 'We don't ask them to pay all the bill, but we were very clear telling [them] that some models will have no price increase, some others up to … a maximum 10%. So they appreciate it a lot.' Vigna said the company will remain 'vigilant' in response to changes in purchasing behavior, but at the moment the company hasn't seen any shift post-tariffs. Lamborghini also reported stellar first quarter results, though it noted the 'uncertain' background in international trade remains. The company said it will 'closely monitor the situation and evaluate potential future scenarios and implications for its business,' but at the moment, business remains robust with a 'strong order book' of future sales. A spokesperson for Lamborghini said the automaker would not discuss pricing at this time, other saying the automaker was "carefully evaluating all possible scenarios." Compared to Q1 last year, both Ferrari and Lamborghini did quite well, with revenue up 13% and 30%, respectively, as well as 23% and 33% growth in EBIT. One area that Lamborghini highlighted is the strength of its key commercial regions — the Americas, EMEA (Europe & Middle East), and Asia — which allows it to spread the risk of trade tensions, though the US is still its top market. Like Lamborghini, Ferrari has a strong presence across a number of key regions, with a big wrinkle in its favor: a smaller dependency on China. Lagging China sales have hit other luxury brands, including Mercedes, BMW, and Audi. Wall Street is onboard with Ferrari's game plan for fighting tariffs and limiting China exposure. Morgan Stanley's Adam Jonas reiterated the bank's Overweight rating on the stock, citing Ferrari's 'uniquely positioned, defensive business' with an order book extending well into 2026, relatively low volatility to earnings, and strategic regional exposure, for example, low China risk. 'We are not aware of any other global luxury brand with anywhere near as low exposure to China as Ferrari,' Jonas wrote. 'We believe the company's strong pricing power (ultra-premium luxury consumer) and low exposure to China (1Q Greater China shipments represented 6.6% of total shipments) offer relative safety vs. many other names under our coverage.' A high-net-worth consumer, low exposure to China, and a surprisingly 'defensive' business in an uncertain economic environment could be Ferrari's key to success. 'Despite the surge of the uncertainty and volatility, our indistinctive business model provides us with solid confidence and the necessary agility for our future,' Ferrari CFO Antonio Picca Piccon said during the earnings call.
