At a time when electric motors dominate and hybridization is making inroads almost everywhere, the classic naturally aspirated V12 engine is an endangered species. It is therefore all the more remarkable that some of the most spectacular hypercars of 2025 continue to rely on twelve cylinders - pure, extreme, legendary.
Here are the thoroughbred V12 hypercars that will still be available new in 2025 - true masterpieces for enthusiasts.
Ferrari 12Cilindri - The heart of Maranello beats on
Ferrari is not letting its iconic V12 be taken away. The new Ferrari 12Cilindri brings the DNA of the Daytona back onto the road - with a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated engine that revs up to 9,500 rpm and unleashes 830 hp.
Engine: 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine
Power: 830 hp
Special feature: 9,500 rpm speed limit
Price: from approx. 395,000 euros
With its uncompromising mechanics and breathtaking looks, the 12Cilindri is likely to be one of the last of its kind.
Gordon Murray Automotive T.50 - The ultimate driver's car
British designer Gordon Murray created a monument to the V12 engine: his T.50 weighs only around 986 kilograms, is powered by a 3.9-liter V12 developed by Cosworth and reaches up to 12,100 rpm - a value that no other production car has ever achieved.
Engine: 3.9-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine
Power: 673 hp
Special feature: 12,100 rpm, central seat layout
Price: approx. 2.8 million euros
Everything here revolves around pure riding pleasure, mechanical perfection and radical lightweight construction.
Gordon Murray Automotive T.33 - Purism with manual transmission
Slightly less extreme, but no less fascinating: the GMA T.33. Here, too, the Cosworth V12 gives you goosebumps, this time paired with a classic six-speed manual gearbox and a little more everyday friendliness - as far as you can speak of that with a 1.6 million Hypercar hypercar.
Engine: 3.9-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine
Power: 615 hp
Special feature: Manual gearbox, low weight
Price: approx. 1.6 million euros
The T.33 is perhaps the last Hypercar with a manual gearbox and naturally aspirated V12 engine that you can really drive yourself.
Lamborghini Revuelto - Electrified, but with a real V12 heart
The new Lamborghini Revuelto brings the V12 into the future - combined with three electric motors. However, the heart of the car remains a newly developed 6.5-liter V12, which alone delivers 825 hp. Together with the electric motors, the Revuelto achieves a system output of over 1,000 hp.
Engine: 6.5-liter V12 + electric motors (PHEV)
Power (V12 alone): 825 hp
Total output: over 1,000 hp
Price: from approx. 560,000 euros
The Revuelto is a plug-in hybrid - but one that consistently retains the character of the classic V12 super sports car.
Conclusion: The V12 lives on - in the most extreme forms
While many super sports cars will rely on smaller engines or all-electric drives in 2025, these hypercars will remain true to the ultimate emotion. FerrariGordon Murray Automotive and Lamborghini show that V12 vehicles are more than just nostalgic technology - they are driving works of art, mechanical masterpieces and emotional time capsules.
If you still want to experience that real V12 feeling, these models are perhaps your last chance.
