Ferrari’s 12Cilindri has barely settled into production life since manufacturing started in 2024, though aftermarket companies already keep finding fresh angles for the front-engined grand tourer. Novitec now joins that conversation with a restrained interpretation focused more on stance and detail than visual drama.
At first glance, spotting the changes feels difficult. Maybe impossible without parking one beside a standard Ferrari 12Cilindri. That seems intentional. The tuner avoided oversized wheels, loud aerodynamic parts, unusual graphics, or carbon-heavy styling tricks often associated with modified exotics. Instead, the black coupe keeps a near-factory appearance, aside from a few subtle revisions scattered around the body and chassis.
The suspension sits at the center of the package. Novitec installed its own sport springs, lowering the car slightly and giving the Ferrari a flatter posture on the road. According to the source material, handling benefits from the reduced ride height, though ride comfort takes a small hit in exchange. Nothing radical appears elsewhere outside. The wheel design resembles the original setup, while yellow brake calipers and matching Ferrari emblems create contrast against the glossy black paint.
Inside, the same restrained approach continues. Red leather wraps the seats, lower pillar sections, door cards, and center tunnel. Black surfaces cover the upper cabin area, while the dashboard mixes Alcantara with leather trim. Yellow stitching breaks up the darker materials in several areas, and metallic accents appear throughout the interior. The article also points out uncertainty regarding whether some cabin elements arrived directly from Ferrari or through later customization work.
Novitec itself stayed fairly vague about technical modifications. The company referred only to “subtle refinements” producing a more defined appearance and stronger road presence. No engine upgrades received confirmation, which means the naturally aspirated V12 likely remains untouched.
Frankly, leaving the powertrain alone hardly sounds disappointing here. Ferrari’s 6.5-liter V12 already delivers 818 horsepower, alongside 610 kW and 830 PS. Torque reaches 500 lb-ft, or 678 Nm, while acceleration from 0 to 62 mph takes 2.9 seconds. Top speed climbs to 211 mph, equal to 340 kph.
Then there is the rev ceiling. Ferrari allows the V12 to spin all the way to 9,500 rpm, which explains why some tuners appear more interested in preserving the original character than rewriting the entire formula. Novitec seems comfortable following that path with this 12Cilindri.
