With the new Ferrari 12Cilindri, the famous Italian V12 engine lives on, laughing in the faces of eco-conscious movements.


Aston Martin’s V12-engined behemoths - a line that has defined the zenith of grandeur for a quarter-century. Of course, the firm doesn’t want to give up on its famed engine any time soon, so it recently unravelled the details of a new updated V12, a powerhouse that not only sustains the legacy of its predecessors but propels it into a new era with unmatched gusto. Boasting 823hp and 1000Nm of torque, this V12 is the result of an extensive overhaul aimed at enhancing every microscopic detail of the combustion cycle. The technical ballet performed to bring this engine to life includes fortifying the cylinder block and conrods, revamping cylinder heads, and recalibrating camshafts. The repositioned spark plugs and new, more voluminous fuel injectors orchestrate a symphony of optimised combustion. Meanwhile, the turbochargers promise a responsiveness that can only be described as telepathic.
