Gala evening in Luxembourg: the 12-cylinder Ferrari dazzles with its design and performance
Thursday 12 September was the scene of an exceptional event for luxury car enthusiasts. At an exclusive gala evening, Ferrari unveiled its new supercar equipped with the legendary V12 engine. Instead of Maranello, the launch of the 12Cilindri took place in Luxembourg. This choice was undoubtedly guided by the proximity of Goodyear’s state-of-the-art test center and simulator, which developed the bespoke tyres for this new Ferrari model. The launch, at which PrestigeLease was present, took place in the heart of the prestigious COQUE National Sports and Cultural Centre.
A dazzling scenography for an iconic model
The event was held in a prestigious setting, worthy of the prancing horse brand. Subdued lighting and immersive staging revealed the elegant silhouette of the Ferrari, draped in red before the long-awaited unveiling. A series of dynamic videos preceded the unveiling, showing the car in action on the track, its tyres biting the asphalt at full speed and its engine roaring to life… We were captivated.
Les lignes sculptées qui courent le long de la carrosserie améliorent non seulement l’esthétique, mais aussi l’aérodynamisme, minimisant les turbulences lorsque le toit est abaissé. En version cabriolet, la capote souple de la GranCabrio se plie en douceur en seulement 15 secondes, même en roulant jusqu’à 50 km/h. Disponible en plusieurs couleurs, la capote en tissu est conçue pour offrir une isolation acoustique exceptionnelle, garantissant un confort optimal, que le toit soit ouvert ou fermé.
À l’arrière, les feux LED en forme de boomerang, inspirés des modèles Maserati classiques, soulignent le caractère sportif de la voiture. L’échappement à quatre sorties et le diffuseur intégré témoignent de la performance puissante qui se cache sous cette carrosserie élégante. Le choix de jantes en alliage de 20 à 22 pouces, selon la version, ajoute à l’agressivité visuelle de ce cabriolet.
Design: a perfect marriage of elegance and aggression

Design: a perfect marriage of elegance and aggression
This new 12-cylinder Ferrari impressed us at first glance. Its design is both aggressive and refined, combining aerodynamic elements that demonstrate its performance credentials with a purely Italian aesthetic. The long, curved bonnet houses the heart of this supercar: a V12 engine that represents the pinnacle of Ferrari technology.
Certain details caught our eye immediately, such as the plunging muzzle, clearly reminiscent of the 365 GTB4 Daytona, with an imposing grille and two carefully sculpted side air intakes to maximize engine temperature and braking management. The LED headlights, stretched backwards, offer a unique lighting signature, while the side lines, marked by pronounced ribs, reinforce the impression of movement even when stationary.
The light-alloy wheels, with their multi-spoke design, are perfectly matched to the streamlined bodywork. They house the latest-generation carbon ceramic brakes, providing the ultra-powerful stopping power needed to harness the colossal power of the V12 engine.
The V12 engine: a masterpiece of engineering
The real jewel in this Ferrari’s crown, and the element that arouses the most enthusiasm, is of course its naturally aspirated V12 engine. Developing over 800 horsepower, this engine is distinguished by its ability to rev up quickly, delivering raw power accompanied by an enchanting sound. Each press of the accelerator releases a distinct roar, instantly recognizable to purists of the brand.
The engineering behind this engine is a model of sophistication. It features a high-pressure direct injection system and combustion chambers redesigned to maximize thermal efficiency, while complying with the strictest emissions standards. This front mounted V12 engine enables the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 3 seconds, with a top speed approaching 340 km/h. This incredible performance is complemented by an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox, which ensures rapid and precise gear changes for an intense driving experience.
A triumph for Ferrari and an unforgettable event
The gala evening in Luxembourg highlighted Ferrari’s expertise, both aesthetically and technically. The combination of enormous power and sophisticated design reminds us that Ferrari remains one of the most emblematic and innovative brands in the sector.
Ferrari has once again struck a blow with this revelation, confirming its status as the undisputed leader in the manufacture of exceptional cars. Speed and luxury enthusiasts can already look forward to seeing this new icon on the road.
