Hardik Pandya’s Ferrari 12 cylinder: Key details
The 12-cylinder is a special car as it continues Ferrari’s long tradition of front-engine V12 grand tourers. Its design takes inspiration from the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona, a legendary model from the brand’s past. The new car features a long sculpted bonnet, sleek LED headlamps and a very clean, minimal front design. Ferrari has also focused heavily on aerodynamics while designing the 12-cylinder. The body includes active aerodynamic elements that help improve stability at high speeds.

Powering the Ferrari 12 Cilindri is a 6.5-liter NA V12 engine. The motor produces around 830 hp and 678 Nm of torque. The engine is mated to an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. Performance figures are equally impressive, with the supercar capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 kmph in around 2.9 seconds and reaching a top speed of over 340 kmph. This makes it one of Ferrari’s fastest front-engined grand tourers ever.
Inside, the Ferrari 12Cilindri follows the brand’s innovative dual-cockpit layout. The cabin features a 15.6-inch digital instrument cluster for the driver, a 10.25-inch central touchscreen for infotainment and climate controls, and an 8.8-inch display for the passenger. In India, the Ferrari 12-cylinder is priced at around Rs 8.50 crore, ex-showroom. However, reports suggest that the example driven by Hardik Pandya could cost around Rs 12 crore depending on customization and import duty.
