The new 12Cilindri Spider adds the allure of open-top motoring to better appreciate the unique roar of Ferrari's modern V12 engines, all without ruining the sharp style.

Reports of the V12's death may have been premature, if the glorious Ferrari 12 Cilindri Spider is anything to go by. But is it better than the coupe?

Ferrari’s 12Cilindri Spider, balancing digital tech with old-school power delivery, remains relatively subdued—that is, until you want to unleash it.

The Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider brings all of the theatre that you’d expect from an Italian V12-powered supercar. It’s easy enough to drive at slow speeds but unlocks a huge level of performance as and when you need it. It’s refined with the roof in place, too and isn’t too blowy when it’s down, either.

Today, the 2025 12Cilindri Spider harks back to Ferrari's grand-touring roots and its front-engine, V-12 soul. The 12Cilindri Spider is a first-quarter opening salvo in what's shaping up to be a pivotal year in the brand's storied history.

It’s angular yet curvy; retro yet ultra modern. The black front visor between the headlights might seem like a clear link to another iconic 12-cylinder Ferrari - the 365 GTB/4 Daytona, but Ferrari’s designers tell us that this is more of a happy coincidence than a deliberate decision.

The £366,500, two-seater, Ferrari accelerates from rest to 62mph in just 2.95 seconds and to 124mph in 8.2 seconds, before topping out somewhere beyond 211mph.

Only one automaker still builds a non-hybridized, naturally aspirated V-12. It's Ferrari—because of course it is.
