The rear, with its integrated spoilers and vortex generators, channels futuristic aggression, while the hatchback-like boot offers just enough space for a weekend escape to the dunes.

Available in striking hues like Rosso Corsa, it’s a car that turns heads at Dubai Marina’s valet lines, embodying the city’s flair for sophistication and spectacle.

Comfort Meets Command

Slide into the 12Cilindri’s cockpit, and you’re greeted by a driver-focused haven that balances luxury with purpose. The seating position is low and snug, sculpted to cradle you through Dubai’s sweeping highways or tight Jumeirah corners.

Premium leather and carbon-fiber accents reflect the city’s opulent aesthetic, while the new Human Machine Interface featuring a 15-inch central display and capacitive steering wheel puts control at your fingertips. It’s a throne for the discerning, whether cruising past Burj Khalifa or carving through the desert outskirts.

Raw Power, Unleashed

At the heart of the 12Cilindri lies a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12, pumping out 819 horsepower with a spine-tingling 9,500 rpm redline. This isn’t just power, it’s a statement. From a standstill, it rockets to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, making it a match for Dubai’s fast-paced pulse.

The 8-speed dual-clutch transmission shifts with surgical precision, delivering relentless thrust that feels at home sprinting down Al Khail Road or opening up on the open stretches toward Al Ain.

Every throttle blip is a reminder of Ferrari’s engineering dominance, perfectly suited to a city that celebrates the extraordinary.

A Symphony of Sound

The Ferrari 12Cilindri’s exhaust note is its soul, a primal roar that reverberates through Dubai’s canyons of glass and steel. The naturally aspirated V12 sings a pure unfiltered aria, unapologetically loud yet melodic, turning every tunnel into a concert hall.

In Dubai, where excess is a way of life, this sound is a fitting anthem. “bold, unmissable, and unapologetic”. It’s not just a car; it’s a performance, echoing the city’s love for grandeur.
