The new Ferrari 12Cilindri is headed to South Africa in Q1 2025 in all its naturally aspirated V12 glory. Call up your bank manager, because we have local pricing…
Revealed as recently as April 2024, the new Ferrari 12Cilindri is scheduled to arrive in South Africa in the opening quarter of 2025. And, thanks to our learned friends over at duoporta.com, we can already share local pricing for Maranello’s naturally aspirated V12 twins.
According to the trusted vehicle-information specialists, Scuderia South Africa has opened the order books for the 812 Superfast successor, with the 12Cilindri Coupé priced from R9 995 000 and the 12Cilindri Spider kicking off at R10 995 000.
For the record, that latter figure is not quite enough to make the open-top 12Cilindri the most expensive Ferrari on Mzansi’s new-vehicle market, with that honour instead going to the SF90 Spider (currently priced at R11 573 600).
As a reminder, the 12Cilindri employs the Prancing Horse brand’s naturally aspirated, front-mid-mounted 6.5-litre V12 (F140HD) engine, which revs all the way to 9 500 r/min and delivers heady peak outputs of 610 kW and 678 Nm to the rear wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The result, other than what must surely be a spine-tingling V12 soundtrack (best enjoyed with the Spider’s roof down)? Well, the 12Cilindri Coupé will complete the obligatory 0-100 kph sprint in a claimed 2.9 seconds, before crossing the 200 kph mark in under 7.9 seconds (with the Spider only marginally behind) and ultimately topping out at more than 340 kph.
The 12Cilindri is underpinned by an all-aluminium chassis that Ferrari claims is around 20 mm shorter than the 812 Superfast’s but some 15% stiffer. Interestingly, with a dry weight of 1560 kg, it’s just shy of 40 kg heavier than its predecessor, but – as you can tell from the figures above – that certainly hasn’t had a negative impact on performance.
Inside, you’ll find a cabin that closely resembles that of the likewise V12-powered Ferrari Purosangue, and features an 8.8-inch screen in front of the passenger, showing speed, engine revs and other information. Meanwhile, all of the main functions can be controlled via the centrally sited 10.25-inch touchscreen capacitive display, which is furthermore flanked by a 15.6-inch driver display.
How much does the Ferrari 12Cilindri cost in South Africa?
Ferrari 12Cilindri Coupé – R9 995 000
Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider – R10 995 000
Expect Ferrari’s 3-year/unlimited kilometre warranty and 7-year/unlimited maintenance plan to ship standard.
