The 2026 Ferrari 12Cilindri is a Naturally Aspirated V12 grand tourer that succeeded the 812 Superfast and the 812 GTS, turning its back on the idea of turbocharging, or, even worse, going fully electric. If you adore and value raw power, speed, sound, throttle response, and exclusivity as much as mechanical character, the 12Clindiri is your taste and vibe. Driving it on the Nairobi Expressway is like hearing an aeroplane that is about to raise its nose and take off.

EXTERIOR
The 2026 Ferrari 12Cilindri has a clean geometric line departing from sculpted side scoops and complex swoops graced by its predecessors. Many enthusiasts have not bought into the idea of shifting from an aggressive front fascia to a broad, low, and calm demeanor. A prominent continuous gloss black visor bar integrated with LED running lights immediately distinguishes the 12Cilindri. The bonnet opens towards the front, and it is quite dramatic.
The side profile has extremely short overhangs and 21-inch alloy wheels that contribute to its outstanding appearance. Many purists find the rear very attractive compared to the front end. Instead of a traditional rear wing, you have two aerodynamic active flaps operating in two modes: low drag and high downforce. The quad exhaust arrangement showcases the perfect symbolism of a unique Ferrari product.
INTERIOR & TECHNOLOGY
The 2026 Ferrari 12Cilindri has a driver-centric cockpit. Occupants have access to a triple screen layout. A 15.6-inch digital driver’s cluster, a 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and a dedicated 8.8-inch passenger display. A mix of premium leather, carbon fiber, aluminum, contrasting stitching, and Alcantara exudes a million-dollar outlook.
