·
Casa Ferrari, offered
regional audiences their first exciting look at the new Ferrari 12Cilindri
Spider
·
The fifth edition of
Casa Ferrari Abu Dhabi took place during Formula 1™ Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi
Grand Prix weekend from 6th-8th December 2024
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, December 9th,2024
Ferrari chose the
opulent and striking backdrop of the annual Casa Ferrari event, held at Yas
Links Golf Club, for the regional premiere of the 12Cilindri Spider.
Coinciding with
the on-track excitement of the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
weekend (6th-8th December),the Casa Ferrari event
gathered guests and dedicated Ferraristi to witness the unveiling of the new
model, which follows the regional premiere of the Ferrari 12Cilindri a few
weeks ago in Dubai.
Giorgio Turri, General Manager of Ferrari Middle
East, commented: “Casa Ferrari, the much-loved event where our Ferraristi
gather every year, provided the ideal opportunity to unveil this latest highly
anticipated model boasting unparalleled levels of performance, driving thrills
and comfort. As we mark our 30th anniversary in the Middle East
region, the unveiling of the 12Cilindri Spider – with all that it signifies –
was particularly momentous.”
The concept giving shape to the Ferrari 12Cilindri
Spider draws inspiration from open-topped Ferrari Gran Turismo models of the
1950s and ‘60s, which combined the unmatched performance of a road-going racing
car with the unique opportunity to revel in the sound of the 12-cylinder engine
with the roof down, and extraordinary long-distance driving comfort. The design
of the car makes a break from the recent canons of the Ferrari two-seater
berlinetta spider genre, eschewing muscularity and sensuality in favour of a
more futuristic language founded on formal purity with only the barest hint of
a typically automotive visual lexicon.
The F140HD engine equipping the Ferrari 12Cilindri
Spider is the new version of the iconic naturally-aspirated Ferrari V12, the
purest expression of Ferrari’s soul: its peerless performance, powerful
soundtrack and exclusivity making it the worthy heir to the legendary
berlinetta sports cars. The engine can unleash up to 830 cv while its max revs
have been increased to 9500 rpm thanks to the adoption of innovative
solutions.
The Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider is intended for both
connoisseurs of the marque with a clear vision of what Ferrari has stood for in
the motoring world since 1947, and newer Ferraristi who dream of a car that
lets them combine unmatched driving thrills with comfort and Italian design – and the possibility of enjoying the wind in their hair. This truly is
a car for the few.
The Casa Ferrari event is an annual event held in Abu
Dhabi during the F1 GP weekend. A temporary luxury hospitality and
entertainment venue, it is designed as a villa, the concept mirroring its title
– Casa, meaning house in Italian – serving as a home for the local Ferraristi
community in the region.
