Overview

2026 Ferrari 12Cilindri

The 2026 Ferrari 12Cilindri represents a significant entry in the V12 supercar lineage. For the used-car shopper, its appeal lies in its potent 6.5-liter V12 engine and rear-wheel-drive dynamics. However, as a new model, long-term reliability data is scarce. Expect high fuel costs with a combined 14 MPG. Safety ratings are not yet available, and the absence of recalls or complaints is expected for a vehicle with minimal time in the market.

Critical Failure Risk

Minor oil leaks can develop from seals and gaskets on the high-performance V12 engine. These are often due to heat and pressure cycling.

Early detection can help you avoid a $1,500-$4,000 repair.
