Overview

When Ferrari unveiled the 12Cilindri in 2024, the world witnessed more than the launch of a new grand tourer-it witnessed the final heartbeat of an era. With its 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12, sculpted lines, and unfiltered connection between man and machine, the 12Cilindri became the closing chapter in a lineage that began in 1947 with Gioachino Colombo's first masterpiece. Across nearly eight decades, Ferrari's twelve-cylinder engines defined the sound and spirit of speed, embodying everything that made the Prancing Horse a symbol of engineering purity and Italian passion. Ferrari 12Cilindri: The Last of Its Kind is a definitive chronicle of that heritage-from the first 125 S through icons like the 250 GTO and Daytona, to the 812 Superfast and finally the 12Cilindri. Drawing on verified history, technical detail, and the voices of those who built and drove these cars, this book captures the artistry, innovation, and emotion behind Ferrari's most revered powerplant. It is both an homage and a historical record, tracing how one configuration-twelve cylinders in perfect harmony-shaped not just a company, but the very idea of the high-performance automobile. As the world accelerates toward electrification, this is the story of Ferrari's final stand for mechanical beauty: a testament to the belief that even in an age of silence, there remains music in motion.
