The Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider occupies a rare position in the current Maranello catalogue: a retractable hard-top convertible powered by a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 — a configuration that fewer and fewer manufacturers are willing, or able, to offer. BBR Models has translated that into a 1:18 resin model, choosing the understated Grigio Titanio finish from the standard Ferrari colour palette to let the car's long-bonnet proportions do the talking.
The F140HD: 830 cv, No Turbos, No Compromises
Introduced in 2024 under the internal designation F140HD, the Ferrari 12Cilindri is the direct successor to the 812 GTS in Ferrari's front-engined V12 road-car line. The 6,496 cc V12 produces 830 cv at 9,250 rpm and 678 Nm of torque at 7,250 rpm, with a 9,500 rpm redline, all sent through an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. The bodywork stretches 4,733 mm in length, 2,176 mm wide including mirrors, and sits 1,292 mm tall on a 2,700 mm wheelbase — proportions that read immediately as a proper grand touring Ferrari.
Open Air, V12 Soundtrack: Why the Spider Variant Matters
The 12Cilindri Spider shares the Berlinetta's 830 cv output but adds a retractable hard top, giving occupants direct access to the V12's acoustic signature at full throttle. Ferrari quotes 0–100 km/h in 2.95 seconds and 0–200 km/h in 8.2 seconds — figures that put the open-top car on the same performance plane as its closed sibling. For the road-car collector, the Spider represents the more seldom-seen, experiential variant of the pair, and its 2024 reveal positioned it as the spiritual continuation of the 812 GTS lineage and an heir to the wider V12 open-top tradition Ferrari has maintained for decades.
BBR Models 1:18 Resin: What the Format Delivers
BBR Models, one of Italy's most respected producers of high-detail resin replicas, has rendered the 12Cilindri Spider in 1:18 scale using a fixed, one-piece resin body construction — the format in which BBR consistently achieves its sharpest surface resolution. At this scale the 4,733 mm road car translates to approximately 26.3 cm of model length, a size that makes the extended front-engine hood and flowing Spider flanks legible in a way that smaller scales cannot. The Grigio Titanio metallic finish is a standard Ferrari catalogue colour that foregrounds the bodywork sculpture without the visual noise of a more saturated hue.
In the Display Cabinet: Dimensions, Pairings and Context
At 26.3 cm long, the model requires roughly 30 cm of clear shelf depth to sit comfortably with the included BBR display showcase. That showcase serves a practical function with resin: it shields the surface from dust and handling marks while presenting the car at eye level. Natural display partners include the Ferrari 812 GTS — the direct predecessor at the same front-engined V12 open-top concept — or other BBR 1:18 contemporary Ferrari road cars. The Grigio Titanio colour also reads cleanly alongside brighter Ferrari palette entries, making mixed-colour Ferrari groupings viable on the same shelf.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
How big is the 1:18 scale model?
The real Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider measures 4,733 mm in length. Divided by 18, the model comes to approximately 26.3 cm. Allow at least 28–30 cm of display space to accommodate the showcase that comes with it.
Does the model have opening parts?
BBR produces the 12Cilindri Spider as a fixed, sealed resin body — no opening bonnet, doors or engine cover. Detail is concentrated on the exterior surfaces: the bodywork lines, the Grigio Titanio metallic finish and the aerodynamic forms of the 12Cilindri's front and rear.
What material is the model made from?
The model is cast in resin, the material BBR Models uses for its high-detail road-car replicas at 1:18 scale. Resin allows sharper panel-line resolution than diecast zinc alloy and holds fine painted finishes more consistently.
How does the 12Cilindri Spider relate to previous Ferrari V12 open-top models?
The 12Cilindri Spider is the direct successor to the 812 GTS, which itself followed the 812 Superfast. All share Ferrari's front-mounted naturally aspirated V12 philosophy. The 12Cilindri was publicly revealed in 2024 and is also described as an heir to the wider V12 road-car tradition that includes the Ferrari Daytona SP3.
