The two cars, showcased at an event in Miami, mark Ferrari's first launches of this year, after five in 2023, as it presses ahead with a rapid roll-out of new models to keep the attention of its wealthy customers.

As part of a wider electrification drive in the industry, the firm known for its 'Prancing Horse' logo has been adding hybrid-electric cars to its range since 2019 and has promised its first fully-electric vehicle (EV) at the end of 2025.

However, Ferrari has also pledged to continue selling traditional internal combustion engine cars (ICE), also helped by a European Union decision to exempt vehicles that run on e-fuels from its planned phase-out of ICE vehicles.

The new 12Cilindri two-seater and its convertible version, the 12Cilindri Spider (above), are inspired by Ferrari's historic grand-tourer (GT) models of the 1950s and 1960s, the company said.
