FIRST LOOK: Ferrari 12Cilindri - Silly Name, Crazy 820bhp V12!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 май 2024
- The Italian language is very good - molto bene - at turning simple car names into lyrical poetry. ‘Four doors’ becomes ‘Quattroporte’. ‘Red head’ becomes ‘Testarossa’. And so, while this new Ferrari is called the 12 Cylinder, Maranello would prefer you wrapped your lips around their way of talking, and called it the Dodici Cilindri.
(But, Because Marketing, the name is written out as 12Cilindri.)
It’s an on-the-nose celebration of Ferrari’s signature dish: a big V12. A mighty 6.5-litre instrument, mounted way behind the front axle, and under a gigantic clamshell ‘cofango’ bonnet designed to showcase the engine bay more dramatically than the 812 Superfast or F12. Job done…
Looks wise, there are hints of 365 Daytona at the front. There are also active aero flaps at the rear. Inside, Ferrari’s gone fully screen-gaga and deleted all the buttons. Good luck tuning the radio when 814bhp arrives at the rear wheels before the tyres are warm ‘n’ sticky.
Unusually, Ferrari has revealed the €425,000 Spider drop-top along with the €390,000 coupe. Top Gear’s Ollie Kew has been to Ferrari HQ in Maranello, Italy to see them, and is here to talk you round the new V12. In his best Italian accent…

'812 Superfast', 'Quattroporte', 'Testarossa': name some other wonderfully literal car names...
it looks like a resto mod Daytona 365.
Maserati named after winds, Mistral, Bora, Khamsin, Merak, Lamborghini names there's after bulls!
No no you are soo wrong, this is an absolute beauty of a retro throwback....the new Lambo looks hideous
If you pronounced Dodici a bit fast sounds like dodgy isn’t it?
@@sammymaestro7642 Actually, it's not that bad in real life... We had a matt light green Revuelto in our Warehouse at the Airport couple of days ago! I was standing at the back of the car! Definitely the chocolate side of the car!😍👍
Top gear, italian is a beautiful language! They could name it in bad and strong words and it still would sound beautiful in my ears... Because I don't understand italiano...🤷♂️🤣👌
All the shots of the Daytona not being one with the black nose is quite funny
Yeh no clue why they didn’t compare it to the plexiglass one
Screams of poor research.
@@freeskier6377I’m guessing either the bbc don’t own stock footage of the plexiglass version or the video editor has no idea 2 versions exist
@@UpTheAnte1987 Well it's not just stock footage, it's footage from a Top Gear episode, so they didn't need to pay for it. Also I happen to think the plexiglass Daytonas are uglier than the later ones. It's a bit like people who specced the wire wheels instead of the alloys for their Daytonas, they would have looked dated within about 5 minutes of the car being built.
Fixed!

Remember when Clarkson thought the F12 was the last V12. Now we're another 2 generations in.
we all had our reasons to think that way, we thought that the future was in HYDROGEN not even in battery ev's!
Many who is more often than not wrong, proven to be wrong again
@@flyingpanhandle could you repeat that in English?
F12 was the last great!
@@CovKid2K10 what was wrong with the 812?
Ferrari's naming convention has sometimes been related to the engine.
458 - 4.5L 8 cylinder
612 - 6L 12 cylinder
355 - 3.5L 5 valve
most of its naming until recently for their mainstream ferrari has always been about engine. Like 512, 612, 599, 430, 458,355, 360, f meant flat but they stopped using flat 12 engines.
@@lexuslfa4739 488 aswell
Ferrari from the very start was always a number for CC per cylinder.
The 1947 125S = 125*12 = 1.5L V12, 250 whatever = 250*12 = 3L V12, 860 Monza = 860*4 = 3.4L I4.
and 456 gt
and the new 296 GTB (2.9l 6 cylinder) but not the SF90
Ferrari needs to take a note out of Bugatti's rule book. No Screens inside the car to keep it timeless. Also not sure I want to be doing 200mph and need to touch a screen to lower the temp! Looks fantastic.
Omg yes. The screens are points of failure and do not scream longevity
I suspect that at 200 mph, the temp is what the temp is until you slow down. 😊
Yeah, I was just thinking that as I was going 200mph, or a typical Saturday. Not 👀
Your definition of 'fantastic' is rather peculiar... Especially coming from someone apparently not into touch screens and other useless crap.
They're no Bugatti, that's for sure
Too bad you missed showing the correct period Daytona (with plexiglass nose) which this car replicates.
I think most of us thought of that same daytona immediately ! They did a bit of an injustice by showing the wrong one, because I think this is a fairly accurate and subjectively beautiful hommage.
It *is* a bit annoying lmao, how they deliberately show the wrong car just to score some cheap mockery of the design.
We all know the plexiglass nose one from the world’s most famous Daytona, the fake Miami Vice one.
@@sydney4814 Except if it is a car made in England. In that case all is praise and worth to mention in a glorified manner. Just another disgusting BBC show.
Yes exactly!
Soon as I saw that blacked out front piece I was thinking Daytona. Rear roof line/glass looks a bit like toned down Zagato styling.
Same but I didn't know the name of the Ferrari I was thinking of lol
It's all about invoking some old Ferrari rather than making anything original. It's the end for Ferrari design lmao.
No way, the black parts look like the Toyota crown's .....
Same with me. The rear reminds me a bit of alfa 8c disco volante
The hips above the rear wheels are too high tho
I think you can adjust the temperature before accelerating.😉
This is one of the most beautiful cars I’ve ever seen.
That is one of the best looking cars I've ever seen
sarcasm !
@monodeepmahato8282 nope, love it. Not particularly keen on the black stripe and, it kinda reminds me of a Rover SD1, but other than that, i think it looks great.
Go look at the pagani huayra coupe
@@sterlingthompson4102@sterlingthompson4102 You need to check your eyes, and if they are ok, you need a brain scan.
820hp from a 6.5L naturally aspirated V12 is absolutely insane.
That's 126hp per liter, not really insane. Honda S2000 had that in 1999 and the current highest is GMA T.50 with 166hp per liter. Lots in between.
@@mickeyduvel But the S2000 was only fun if you kept it at 8000 RPMs, as it really had no TQ maybe 150, vs 500 ft lbs
@@daviddee7103so you are comparing a 2.0 liter engine against a 6.5 liter?...🤦🏽♂️
@@daviddee7103well the s2000 was a 2 liter 4 cylinder this has 12 cylinders
@@mickeyduvel Yeah the T.50 is the new gold standard in V12 engines. Well all engines really. The t.50 is so much better than any car, I don't think it will ever be topped.
Italian here, the bonnet is called "cofano", cofango is what Lamborghini called their bonnet on the Huracan STO because they integrated the fender/mudguard into it (cofano + parafango). And to correctly pronounce the name 12 Cilindri you should say every i as the second i in "initiating" (I couldn't come up with a better example 😂)
You mean 3rd “i”😂
Couldn't agree more. If you can't pronounce it properly, say it just the once (well done for trying) but don't constantly make a point of saying it if you butcher every attempt. 🙄
Yeah. Every "i" has to sound the same, dog. Even I know that and my command of the Italian language is 🤏🏻
Daw-dee-chee Chi-lean-dree
That should do it
@@fabiodandrea4951 I'll raise.
Cheee leeen dreee
Sometimes it helps to start with the last syllable and add syllables going backwards, until you have the whole word.
It would overall be better if he could speak Italian to whoever designed the car and yell at them in Italian. I feel the grievances (which I share) about the black clip in front and the overuse of touch screens in general, were not addressed. Designer may be a bit of a prima donna. Could take lessons from what's his name... Camilo Pardo.
I wasnt so convinced by the shape qt first but that green spider looked amazing.
Im lovin this new accord
More like a Chinese ev
And children, that's why Ferrari will never go out of business ever.
a boosted audi or Merc gaps this by a mile
nobody is saying they will go out of business, what's the point of your comment?
@@karmmaguitarthe point of this comment is that this Ferrari is an art piece, all about the legendary engine with Daytona vibes. What a car… wait for the sound. V12 9500rpm 830hp…
Also kids... never buy Italian.
@@irs4486Ferrari gaps them in status by mileS
"Cofango" is a word made up by Lamborghini because they made an entire piece in the front of some cars like the STO. The bonnet in Italian would be Cofano, without the G. But +100 points for the effort.
The Fiat coupe had the cofango already in 1994
I was thinking the exact same thing, glad that car nerds like us exist!
Clearly he can't pronounce or read.... I mean... DodicE :)))
Worst reviewer I've ever watched. It's like he hates his job and Ferrari in general...
+100 points for effort for a top gear presenter??
@@thomasusai6708 the Miura had it in the 60s. Regardless, the one on the Ferrari is not a Cofango.
Thank you for the knowledge.
IMO, that is the prettiest Ferrari to date. Hands down.
It’s like a modern Daytona
Am getting the Miami Vice theme playing in my head...
What SP1?
It's Daytona 365gtb/4 re-envisioned, the SP3 is an impostor that took its name.
@@alphaenterprise2232 the sp3 took inspiration from the 330 P4, WHICH RACED IN DAYTONA
@@Giraffe537 the said car also raced around circuit de la sarthe and spa frachescochamps. The only conclusion I can come to ferrari is really getting lazy with naming their cars. 12 cilindri how creative next to revoluto which sounds like an app to exchange currencies.
This looks absolutely fantastic. Retro throwbacks too.
I think the 812 looks much better. This looks choppy and not clean and beautiful. Why did they put all these weird lines and edges in the front and back?
Looks amazing

Guess they didn’t want u to think it was a V12 Roma lol
You shut your mouth! I'm trying hard to erase that idea now 😂 - but seriously I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. We need a departure from the deep gashes and crazy aero/intakes everywhere design of the Superfast. I absolutely love the Superfast but this brings a different vibe, I like it.
that roma grill was terrible
@@aluwanimoyo4093you May not like it but he's got a point bro 😂, it resembles a Ferrari Roma quite a lot, but with a V12 I guess and the design feels slightly overdone in the flat department, doesn't look as live as the 812 nor F12

It’s rather unsightly if you ask me
I love the Daytona vibes.
Same. Not just cus it reminds me of the Daytona. I honestly just love the shape.
I've got nothing against turbos, but there's something awesome about a well tuned NA car!
Good lord I am so happy that over the last 5 years or so, Ferrari has remembered how to build beautiful, elegant cars.
It seemed like they really lost that after the 90s, and all their cars started to look like someone attacked the clay model with a scalpel. Classic Ferraris were as beautiful as they were brutal, thays part of what made them soecial, and that really got lost.
Compare a Ferrari 365 GTC/4, or even a 366 GT 2+2, to a FF. Then look at the Roma, or this. So much better.
This looks absolutely beautiful! In my humble opinion, there is nothing to complain about. A marvel, in whatever colour !
The front intends to revoke the plexiglass version of the Daytona, not the one you showed in your video.
Don't bother TG isn't what it used to be. I mean who is this W......
@@KD__. He's good. TG was never Evo or even Car Magazine of old. TG was always a bbc like product.
CarWow has a more informative review with much better context. The history, the evolution of Manzoni’s designs. TG is getting better again, just not this one review. But did you watch the Car video where they are taking a Purosangue to the Sahara? Could have been a great video, but they botched it.
I love the looks!
I am so happy, there are still people who make nice looking cars.
"can I get it paint matched?"
*Pulls out gun*
Nvm then
😂😂😂
I guess you have to buy the convertible to have the black parts in body color. Since that one is completely green.
You can get it paint matched…if your car is black 😂
Whatever I would still looks incredible ugly
Finally the new Retro-modern successor of beautiful legendary 365 GTB/S/4 Daytona spider ❤
Miami was perfect to unveil the new 12Cilindri because "Miami Vice" Daytona spider 😉 ...but my favourite was 365 GTS/4 Daytona spider from THE Greatest Car Movie ever made: 1976 "The Gumball Rally" ...and finally this new 12Cilindri is it's true successor! 👏👏 👍
Word!!!!!👍
Funfact: Tubbs "Daytona" in Miami Vice was a Replica on Corvette chassis! But yes, it looked much cooler too me as the real Testarossa, which was a gift from Ferrari!😉
Spyder? Aperta?
@@einautofan6685 it's Sonny Crockett "Daytona" 😉 ...actually it was "the real deal" 365 GTS/4 Daytona spider in the pilot episode ...ironically they also used replikas for the stunts with Testarossa aswell 😁
Yay Americanisation
This is pure automotive beauty , a stunning piece of a modern take on a drivers classic car. A potential future classic too.
I actually love the styling - wasnt a fan of the Daytona in the 70s when i was a kid but its grown on me this is a great nod to that look. like the rear end too btw - brave 👍

@TopGear, the research team is so bad you didn't even use the Daytona with the black plexiglass nose? The iconic nose they were actually replicating? Hilarious.
Works nicely in this traditional red with added black colour scheme. Wasn't sure to begin with after the official videos but it's grown on me nicely now
I'm happy Ferrari are doing things to keep the V12 alive. Ottimo lavoro!
Love it. Reminded me on Daytona the first second I saw the front.
I was a bit indifferent until I saw the green spyder. Wow. Love the tan interior.
Personally, I’m loving the slightly cyberpunk external aesthetic of a few of the new Ferrari including this one
It looks old and ugly rather than futuristic retro.

Best backend for a while!!! ❤ Nice 😍
That's a very interesting mix, kinda nostalgic back to the future cyberpunk approaching. I like it!
The real prancing horse launched with pure V12 heart !!
I actually love that throwback to the old Daytona design
I think the little nod back to the 365 GTB 4, was a nice touch for a flagship 12 cylinder GT car.
I think the contrasting color of the black on bits and bobs looks a bit busy, especially in the boot area.
In all, it looks great but really what I want to see is a road test and listen to the music of that glorious 12 at full chat.
Bravo !
Maranello's greatest opera will never die. I am sure a 900 HP NA V12 will come in the future.
Daytona vibes, stunning design. What a car, all about the engine. I love endlessly this car, it smells Ferrari like nobody else. ❤️
It has a nice side profile
Agree. Pity about the front and back views though.
(Personal opinion)
That thing is absolutely gorgeous 🐎
Wow, what a fantastic car! Ferrari just delivers great designs. Flavio Manzoni and his team - they know what they are doing. Always a big step ahead, when it comes to exciting designs.
🤢🤢🤮🤮
8 : 03 Spider …Green is Crazy. So Cool ❤
That Spider looks infinitely better, bow down they just gloss over it
I wasnt sold on the paint choices with the roof but those aluminium 5 spokes and convertible are stunning
Gorgeous
So beautiful....classic and modern at the same time...love it
The side ok the back no the front end jezus I feel like some needle pierce my eyes just by looking at that
Stunning - I love everything about it.
This is the 3rd rebranded f12
So? It's a naturally aspirated pure v12 superGT launched in 2024! Not many manufacturers are launching such cars in 2024!
That’s because the f12 is the king
This shares nothing with a Ferrari F12
@@valkyries_007Yay fuck standards!
Absolutely beautiful
Love the Daytona reference, the back is a bit controversial but at the same time reminds me of the one-off shooting brake with its gullwing doors reimagined.
That looks horrendous seriously Ferrari WHY

Christ it looks phenomenal
It looks beautiful!
It looks a bit like a shooting brake from some angles but ether way, I think it looks really good

Its truly beautiful. Wow!
10 seconds in and like the styling IMMEDIATELY. definitely noticed the OG Daytona silhouette, so yes please...!!! 🤙 oddly enough just got back from the track and finally getting an up close look at a 296 GTB that was in the pits.

Absolutely f'ing stunning! I'm usually a fan of mid engined Ferraris but this is without doubt my new favourite, oh, and yes, I want it convertible.
This is quite literally the best looking GT car from any manufacturer we have seen in sometime IMHO.
This is the best looking Ferrari since they parted ways with Pininfarina.
It’s the worst looking since Scaglietti.
That’s true but it’s not saying much.

Can’t believe this is getting so much hate- think it looks beautiful, as Ferraris used to look
Agreed, it's gorgeous.
Yup it's absolutely stunning
You cannot believe hate in a RUclips comment section? First time?
thank you for the video, as a 400i dreamer I would like to say that the back end looks like a van:) the front is nice, but the 400i is still better looking!!!
That "double angled hip line" that goes around the whole car, rly looks awesome. Like the car was sculptured out of a solid block of aluminum.
He was diagnosed with Cilindri, it's very itchy apparently. The doctor prescribed him with an ointment to be applied twice daily.
Reminds me of the 365 daytona
That was the goal of Ferrari

Finally Ferrari is back to consistently churning out objectively good looking cars and personally I love how the body lines is a perfect homage to the daytona's front and side profiles...
"Objectively good looking"? You got to be kidding me... They stopped making good looking cars after the 458, and even that one already looked pretty much like an overcooked plastic toy.
@@getsideways7257 if you genuinely think the 812, sf90, roma. 296 etc are ugly cars then your opinion on design is actually worthless. if anything newer ferraris look much better than the older ones
@@dddd-uk4vn 812 is ok, but that's about it. SF90 looks more like the next NSX than anything. 296 is very much derivative - looks like a 488 and a Lotus had baby someone managed to step upon. And Roma... well, it's basically an Aston with a hint of TVR that believes it's a Ferrari.
Either way, I'm not particularly interested in a kids' opinion about myself.
So cool modern classic design.👍
That Thing looks fantastico!
Not a fan of the styling at all but props for keeping the V12 in this day and age.
doesn't matter which way you cut it, that's a modern take on a Daytona... with the silly name.
The name is a deal breaker. Q: What kind of Ferrari do you have? A: I cannot pronounce it (without giggling).
Stunning car! And much more beautiful than its predecessor. Love every detail. Interior? I'm a bit meh. Loved the simpler interiors of the past.
This is truly one of the prettiest Ferraris ever made. Specially with that red paint!
