The verdict

What's good

Targa roof adds open-air sensation to the V12 experience without full convertible weight
Naturally aspirated 6.5L V12 at 9500 rpm is effectively irreplaceable
599 units make this among the most collectible modern Ferraris ever produced
Rear-wheel steering gives surprising agility despite the long front-engine layout

What's not

Allocation was invitation-only for existing Ferrari clients in good standing
Targa opening mechanism is not as rapid as a full retractable hardtop
Stripped cabin and hard suspension make urban driving genuinely fatiguing
Service access for this spec is limited to a handful of dealer workshops globally

The engine

6.5L NA V12

6.5L Naturally-Aspirated V12

Ferrari's naturally-aspirated 6.5-liter V12 is one of the last of a dying breed — no turbos, no hybrid filler, just a spine-tingling shriek that climbs toward a 9,000-rpm redline.

The V12 is Ferrari's founding engine; Enzo built his first car around one in 1947, and this 65-degree unit is the direct, naturally-aspirated descendant of that 75-year bloodline.

It revs beyond 9,000 rpm — extraordinary for such a large engine.
Ferrari has built a V12 every year since 1947; it's the engine the company was founded on.
