Ferrari's latest creation, the 12Cilindri, is a breathtaking tribute to the timeless allure of pure V12 power. With a design inspired by iconic Ferrari models of the past, including the legendary 365 GTB/4 Daytona, the 12Cilindri takes us back to the time when V12 reigned the supercar world shunning turbos and batteries altogether. Underneath its striking exterior lies a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine, delivering an exhilarating 819bhp and revving up to an impressive 9500rpm. And that is what we are celebrating in this issue: one of the world’s greatest automotive manufacturers giving enthusiasts what they desire.
From one V12 to another, we put you in the hot seat of the Ferrari Purosangue. It boasts a 6.5-litre V12 and more ground clearance than any Ferrari before. But Ferrari doesn’t like to call it an SUV. So what is it? We find out. Next on the Ferrari list is the Roma Spider. It's the first soft-top convertible in over half a century. But Ferraris aside, we have plenty more in this issue. Starting with the reviews, we have the much anticipated 5-door Force Gurkha, the BYD Seal, and the Mahindra 3XO. We have also driven the new Jeep Wrangler on a proper off-road trail. We couldn’t do without taking a few road trips – we took the Toyota Camry to Chikkamagaluru, a Mahindra XUV400 to Mahabaleshwar, a Jeep Wrangler in and around Goa, and an epic drive with select Audi S, RS and Q cars in Rajasthan. There is also a very expensive comparo – Range Rover v BMW 7 Series. We have tips on how to maximise EV range using the Tata Punch EV, and how to go rock crawling using the Maruti Suzuki Jimny. And plenty more action on two wheels – we have are reviews of the Honda NX500 and the Bajaj Pulsar N250 and highlights from ‘The Art of The Motorcycle’ gathering in Pune and TVS Apache Racing Experience GP Championship 2024 in Chennai. In our Tuned feature, we have a Hyundai Verna that you do not want to miss.
