Today’s cars are increasingly packed with batteries and clever hybrid systems, so it’s tempting to wonder whether there’s still a place for purely petrol-powered performance cars. Have regulations and technology taken the fun out of driving? Was everything just better in the past? The number of questions around the future can seem overwhelming. Luckily, as Rory discovers in this video, the Ferrari 12 Cilindri Spider is here to keep us firmly in the present and enjoying the moment.
Rory has already experienced the thrills of the coupe 12 Cilindri, but what’s it like as a convertible? In short, it’s even better. You’ll have to watch the video to find out why, but the sound of the 830 horsepower 12-cylinder naturally aspirated engine certainly has something to do with it. Downsides? Rory has spotted a few, but they don’t seem to matter as he takes to the open road, keeping his mind firmly on the task in hand.
