Ferrari introduced the 12Cilindri in May 2024, positioning it as the direct heir to the 812 Superfast family and committing once more to a full-displacement, naturally aspirated V12 in an era of electrification. BBR Models has captured the Berlinetta body style with the factory Panoramic Roof configuration — a glass-roof variant distinct from both the standard coupe and the open Spider — in Rosso Corsa resin at 1:43.
The F140HD: 6.5 Litres, 830 cv, 9,500 rpm
The Ferrari 12Cilindri Berlinetta is built on the F140HD platform and powered by the 6,496 cc naturally aspirated V12, designated F140HD, producing 830 cv at 9,250 rpm and 678 Nm of torque at 7,250 rpm, with a redline of 9,500 rpm. Drive goes through an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Berlinetta reaches 100 km/h from rest in 2.9 seconds and a top speed exceeding 340 km/h. Overall dimensions are 4,733 mm long, 2,176 mm wide and 1,292 mm tall, over a 2,700 mm wheelbase.
Rosso Corsa and the Panoramic Roof Berlinetta
Rosso Corsa — Racing Red — has identified Italian competition cars since the colour-coding conventions of early Grand Prix racing and remains one of the most historically freighted choices in the current Ferrari palette. On the 12Cilindri Berlinetta it is paired with the Panoramic Roof, a factory glass-roof configuration available on the coupe that creates a third distinct variant alongside the standard Berlinetta and the Spider. This combination gives collectors a version of the car that is visually and technically specific rather than a generic red coupe.
BBR Models: Resin Construction at 1:43
BBR Models is an Italian specialist with a long-established reputation for resin 1:43 scale model cars of Ferrari and other Italian marques. Resin construction at this scale allows paint fidelity and surface detail that diecast tooling at the same size cannot easily replicate, making it the preferred medium for collectors who prioritise finish accuracy. The model length calculates to approximately 11.0 cm — 4,733 mm divided by 43 — capturing the production car's proportions in a format suited to dedicated cabinet display.
In the Display Cabinet: 11.0 cm, V12 Ferrari Context
At 11.0 cm in length, the model occupies a compact but well-proportioned footprint typical of 1:43 grand touring cars. It pairs logically with BBR resin releases of the Ferrari 812 Superfast and 812 Competizione — the predecessor V12 berlinettas sharing the same power output of 830 cv — and complements the Ferrari Daytona SP3 or Purosangue for a shelf dedicated to Ferrari's naturally aspirated V12 road car lineage. The Rosso Corsa finish provides strong visual continuity across a multi-model Ferrari display.
Frequently asked questions
How big is the 1:43 scale model?
The real Ferrari 12Cilindri Berlinetta measures 4,733 mm in length. Dividing by 43 gives a model length of approximately 11.0 cm. That is a compact footprint comfortably accommodated on a standard display shelf, though the car's wide 2,176 mm real-world body means proportional width at scale is notable.
What material is the model made from?
BBR Models produces this piece in resin, the material of choice among Italian specialist makers for paint-accurate, high-detail 1:43 scale model cars. Resin allows fine surface reproduction that suits the clean aerodynamic lines of the 12Cilindri Berlinetta.
What makes the Panoramic Roof version distinct from other 12Cilindri releases?
Ferrari offers the 12Cilindri in three configurations: the standard Berlinetta coupe, the Berlinetta with Panoramic Roof (a factory glass-roof option), and the Spider open-top. This BBR model specifically reproduces the Panoramic Roof variant, making it a different object from a standard coupe or Spider release at the same scale.
