This time, however, a new, more hardcore variant of the V12 sports coupe surfaced in Maranello. It's unclear which moniker will adorn the upcoming 12Cilindri, which we see here in full camo and is rumored to arrive next year. In the past, the flagship coupes have had the GTO, tdf, LM, GTS, and so forth. Could Ferrari bring something back from its archives, or will it stick with something a bit more modern, like Speciale (despite there not being a V12 Speciale model before)? Or maybe it'll be something completely new. ![]() ![]() ![]() Regardless, these photos clearly show a more aggressive package accentuating the 12Cilindri's athletic stance. Up front, there's a wider opening in the center and on each side of the bumper, clearly allowing more airflow into the V12 while evoking a more aggro persona. The same can't be said for the car's profile, where it looks like the side skirts might be the same ones as on the current car—however, the ducktail spoiler certainly protrudes more from a side view. The rear diffuser is already enormous on the current car, so I'm not noticing much of a difference in the one featured here. Perhaps without the camo, many more changes would be obvious, though we'll have to wait a while for that. For what it's worth, it's great to see Ferrari still developing its V12 flagship because it's truly a phenomenal ride. *Got a tip?
