Enter the Mansory Equestre: the world’s first full conversion of the 12Cilindri, debuting at the 2025 Monaco Yacht Show from September 24-27. It’s bold, it’s brash, and yeah, it’ll polarize purists faster than a downshift into a hairpin. But as someone who’s chased tailpipes on everything from 812s to tuned exotics, this thing’s audacious vibe has me hooked. Let’s break down the Equestre’s radical redesign, power bump, and that over-the-top cabin—because Mansory doesn’t do subtle.
From Elegant GT to Aggressive Beast: The Equestre’s Exterior Overhaul
The stock Ferrari 12Cilindri already turns necks with its retro-futuristic lines—think Daytona-inspired nose meets sci-fi sleekness, all wrapped around a 6.5-liter NA V12 that revs to 9,500 rpm. But Mansory? They crank the drama to 11. The Equestre’s widebody kit is a full carbon-fiber assault: a redesigned front bumper with massive aero flaps and enlarged intakes for better cooling and downforce, a vented hood that screams airflow, bulging wheel arches that stretch the stance, beefy side skirts, and a rear diffuser that integrates seamlessly without a massive wing—focusing instead on front-end grip for high-speed stability.
The launch car’s wrapped in a deep purple hue, accented by dyed-through forged carbon panels in black, with a full-length Italian tricolore stripe running spine-to-tail for that patriotic flair. No spoilers here, but Mansory claims the setup boosts front downforce significantly, keeping things planted at triple-digit speeds. Rolling on debut are their new VF.5 single-piece forged wheels—ultralight 10×21-inch fronts and 12×22-inch rears shod in 275/35R21 and 325/30R22 performance rubber—for sharper steering and that planted feel without sacrificing the GT’s grand-tourer poise. It’s wider, wilder, and unapologetically in-your-face—love it or loathe it, you can’t ignore it.
V12 on Steroids: Mansory’s Power Play Under the Hood
Ferrari’s 12Cilindri packs 819 hp from its screaming 6.5-liter V12, but Mansory wasn’t satisfied. They’ve remapped the ECU, swapped in a four-tip sports exhaust with valve control and high-flow catalysts, and voilà—855 hp and 730 Nm of torque, up 25 hp and 62 Nm from stock. For a naturally aspirated mill, that’s no small feat; it sharpens throttle response and deepens that signature howl without forced induction’s lag. Expect 0-100 km/h in under 3 seconds and a top end north of 340 km/h, all while keeping the 12Cilindri’s razor-sharp dynamics intact—sideways slides included, if that’s your jam.
This isn’t about outright numbers; it’s amplifying the visceral rush, making every rev a theater piece. Purists might clutch pearls at the tweaks, but for those craving more bite in their GT, the Equestre delivers without diluting the Ferrari soul.
Cabin Couture: Bespoke Boldness Inside the Equestre
Mansory’s magic shines brightest in personalization, and the Equestre’s interior is a masterclass in dramatic luxury. The show car’s swathed in gray Alcantara, punched up with vibrant lilac accents on seats, dash, and door panels for a modern, moody contrast. Exposed carbon fiber trim—dyed to match the body—wraps the center console and door sills, while the headliner gets subtle LED mood lighting and an embroidered Mansory logo in lilac glow.
The steering wheel’s a carbon-leather hybrid with integrated shift lights, pedals are drilled aluminum for that race feel, and floor mats are quilted with the tuner badge. Seatbelts? Embroidered Mansory script, because why not? It’s customizable to the hilt—leathers, stitches, colors—so you can sync it to your yacht or jet. Comfy for cross-continent cruises, cocky enough for canyon runs—it’s the ultimate cockpit for extroverts.
Equestre vs. Stock 12Cilindri: Mansory’s Bold Gamble
Side-by-side, the differences scream. The stock 12Cilindri’s a poised GT with 819 hp elegance; the Equestre amps it to 855 hp aggression, trading subtlety for standout presence. Here’s the quick clash:
| Feature | Mansory Equestre | Stock Ferrari 12Cilindri |
|---|---|---|
| Power | 855 hp / 730 Nm | 819 hp / 668 Nm |
| Body Kit | Full widebody forged carbon | Standard aero package |
| Wheels | VF.5 21/22-inch ultralight forged | 21-inch standard alloys |
| Exhaust | 4-tip valve-controlled sports | Quad-tip OEM |
| Interior | Bespoke Alcantara/lilac/carbon | Leather/Alcantara standard |
| Downforce Focus | Enhanced front axle | Balanced GT aero |
Mansory wins on wow-factor and personalization; Ferrari purists might stick to OEM for unadulterated grace.
