The Ferrari 12Cilindri – A Once-in-a-Lifetime Encounter
Walking into the Ferrari Bengaluru showroom (located on Airport Road, as covered in our earlier feature), the air was thick with anticipation. There, under the showroom lights, sat the Ferrari 12Cilindri—a car so exclusive that spotting one in India is rarer than a blue moon.
This was not just another supercar display; this was a privileged access moment, available only to GaadiKey. Ferrari’s latest naturally aspirated V12 beast isn’t just a machine—it’s an automotive artifact, a last-of-its-kind masterpiece before electrification takes over.
Why the 12Cilindri is a Unicorn
- Only a handful will reach India—making it one of the rarest Ferraris on our roads.
- 830 CV, 6.5L V12—one of the last pure NA engines from Maranello.
- 0-100 km/h in 2.9s, top speed >340 km/h—brutal yet refined performance.
- Limited allocations—supercar collectors are already scrambling for ownership.
Design & Presence: A Supercar That Commands Respect
The 12Cilindri isn’t just fast—it’s stunning. The low-slung hood, aggressive lines, and wide rear haunches scream Italian aggression.
- Dimensions: 4,733 mm long, 1,292 mm tall—lower and meaner than most hypercars.
- Wheels & Brakes: 21-inch alloys with 398mm carbon-ceramic brakes—built to handle its insane power.
- Interior: A driver-focused cockpit with Ferrari’s latest tech—SSC 8.0, digital dash, and race-bred ergonomics.
Performance: The Last Great Naturally Aspirated Ferrari?
Engine & Drivetrain
- 6.5L V12 (830 CV @ 9,250 rpm) – One of the highest-revving production engines.
- 678 Nm torque – Brutal acceleration, yet linear power delivery.
- 8-speed DCT – Lightning-fast shifts, optimized for track and street.
Speed & Handling
- 0-100 km/h: 2.9s (quicker than many EVs!)
- 0-200 km/h: <7.9s (supercar territory)
- Top speed: >340 km/h (limited only by physics)
This isn’t just a car—it’s a mechanical symphony, a dying breed of raw, unfiltered performance.
The Ferrari 12Cilindri in India – A Collector’s Dream

- Only a few units allocated to India.
- Ultra-high-net-worth buyers already placing orders.
- GaadiKey got exclusive access—proof of our deep connections in the supercar world.
