This convertible offers the best of both worlds and beats the coupé, though its space-age roof is rather strange

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?

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.

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 12 Cilindri is a stunning super GT offering in standard coupe form, and it's just as good without a roof

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.

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