The Ferrari 12Cilindri Performance Edition is expected to break through 860 horsepower/or offer a manual option.
Recently, a spy shot of the Ferrari 12Cilindri tracked high-performance derivative was revealed. The new car is still equipped with a V12 naturally aspirated engine, or will increase the power to more than 860 horsepower, and a new aerodynamic kit is added to the exterior, which is expected to provide an analog manual gear option. From the appearance spy details, the new car has a full set of competitive aerodynamic kits compared to the ordinary 12Cilindri, and the changes are concentrated in the core areas of the front and rear of the car. Small canards are added on both sides of the front bumper, which can comb the driving airflow, increase the pressure under the front axle, and optimize the stability of high-speed bending. The overall body contour of the vehicle maintains the basic proportion of the 12Cilindri double-door front GT. Under the camouflage, it can be seen that the chassis and wheel arch area have also been optimized for heat dissipation and airflow, which is in line with the upgrade logic of the Ferrari V12 performance version of the past, and benchmarks the transformation route of the 599 GTO, F12tdf, and 812 Competizione. The rear change amplitude is more intuitive, equipped with a significantly larger duck tail spoiler, which is more radical than the general version, and does not use the GT3 racing giant high tail, taking into account the visual balance of the road GT model. In terms of power, the regular 12Cilindri is equipped with a 6.5L naturally aspirated V12 engine, the maximum power is 830 horsepower, the peak torque is 678 Nm, the engine red line rotation speed is as high as 9250rpm, no turbine, no hybrid assistance, and it is currently the core self-priming GT power unit of Ferrari. With reference to the 812 Competizione, the upgrade range of 30 horsepower is increased compared to that of the ordinary 812 Superfast. It is predicted that after the internal lightweight components, the gas distribution mechanism and the exhaust system are reconstructed, the maximum power is expected to exceed 860 horsepower, and the red line rotation speed is close to 10,000rpm. The high-speed sound wave performance will be further strengthened, maximizing the release of the sound wave characteristics of large displacement and self-absorption. It is worth mentioning that the biggest thing about the new car is the gearbox configuration, and it is very likely that the new car will be equipped with the Manuale By-Wire analog manual system developed by Ferrari for the 12Cilindri Manuale limited edition. This mechanism is not a traditional mechanical manual transmission. The original 8-speed dual-clutch transmission is still retained on the bottom layer. A clutch pedal and a classic H-type open metal shift base and a spherical aluminum alloy stopper are added to the cockpit to form a three-pedal layout. There is no mechanical hard connection between the gearshift lever, the clutch pedal and the gearbox. Relying on the sensor to collect the operating signals, the driving computer controls the dual clutch to complete the gearshift action, which can simulate the traditional manual semi-clutch, drop gear refueling, shift damping and other operations, and supports 6 manual gears. At the same time, the automatic mode can be retained, and the conventional DCT automatic gear can be switched back under urban congestion road conditions to solve the shortcomings of the daily commuting of pure manual models. This simulated manual system was previously available only on the 12Cilindri Manuale, which is limited to 1499 units. (Compiler/AutoHome graduated).
