In all its glory
The Italian language is very good—molto bene—at translating ordinary car names into lyrical poetry. ‘Four doors’ becomes ‘Quattroporte.’ ‘Red head’ becomes ‘Testarossa.’ This new Ferrari ultra-GT is called the 12 Cylinder. But Maranello would prefer you wrapped your lips around their way of talking… and called it the Dodici Cilindri.
No, those aren’t huge leaps over the 812 Superfast. You get the sense Ferrari has decided enough is enough. Its V12 ultra-GT doesn’t need to be any faster. Want warp factor? Buy an SF90, and a barf bag. Here, the chief job was to keep the keystone V12 alive.The engineers admit it’s been tough to meet not just the emissions legislation, but the ever-harsher noise limits which muffle the exhaust note to the tune of 72dB.
Wheels are forged from a single piece of aluminum and measure 21 inches across. The brakes and suspension hardware are carried over largely unchecked from the 812 Superfast, but all their software is thoroughly remapped, and stopping now comes courtesy of brake-by-wire.
