₦1.7 billion. That’s not a typo. To put it into perspective, that same money gets you about 17 2024 Toyota Camry models at roughly ₦100 million each, or a staggering 170 units of a 2013 Toyota Camry at ₦10 million each. That’s how heavy this number really is.
Now step back and look at where mobility is heading—electric cars, hybrids, more layered tech. It starts to shift how you see a car like this.
The Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider runs on a naturally aspirated V12. No hybrid support. No turbos. Just pure engine—and that kind of setup is becoming harder to find.
Ferrari is holding on to what built its name in the first place, the same DNA seen in cars like the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona. As the industry moves on, cars like this are quietly moving into a class of their own.
So the price isn’t just about what you’re buying now—it’s about what this car represents as things continue to change.
Close Up on the Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider
At the center of it all is a 6.5L naturally aspirated V12 pushing out 819 horsepower. No vibrational tricks or artificial boost—just revs and sound. Compared to smaller engines you’ll find in cars like the Mercedes AMG C63, which use turbocharging to build power, this V12 does it the old-school way. It revs higher, feels smoother and delivers power in a more natural flow.
That’s really the difference with a V12. More cylinders mean smoother operation, better balance and a power delivery that keeps building instead of hitting in short bursts like smaller engines.
Then there’s the performance.
If the car is at a complete stop and you step on the accelerator, in about 2.9 seconds you’re already brushing 100 km/h. Keep your foot down, and in around 8 seconds you’re hitting 200 km/h. Stay on it longer—about 15 seconds—and you’re already pushing toward its top speed of over 340 km/h. It’s fast, but it doesn’t feel chaotic, building speed in a very controlled way.
The setup also makes a difference. This is a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive car. Not like the mid-engine Ferraris such as the 488 GTB that are more track-focused. This one gives you more space, more comfort and a better experience on longer drives, while still being seriously quick when you want it to be.
The 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox keeps everything sharp. It’s quick, smooth and always seems to be in the right gear—similar to what you’d expect from something like a Porsche 911 Turbo S. You don’t really think about it, it just works. If you want to see how it sounds and see more of it, you can check out our full review on our YouTube channel.
