Mansory Mutilates Ferrari’s V12 Supercar, But At Least There’s More Power

The Mansory Equestre is the world’s first fully modified Ferrari 12Cilindri.

Mansory is the first to fully modify Ferrari’s 12Cilindri throughout. The Mansory Equestre gives the V12 supercar wild new styling and trimmings. Power is boosted to 843 horsepower, with torque up to 543 lb-ft.

Serial supercar tuner and design outfit Mansory has made one thing a little simpler about Ferrari’s only remaining V12 coupe: the name. Renaming the Ferrari 12Cilindri – dodici cilindri – to Mansory Equestre makes it easier to pronounce, but everything else about this creation is less simplified, with a radical overhaul in exterior styling, interior finishings, and, of course, performance. The Equestre, with its name giving a subtle nod to the Prancing Horse upon which it is based, was unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show 2025, which kicked off yesterday and runs until Saturday, the 27th of September.

Carbon Fiber Consumes The Mansory Equestre
Mansory is never shy about how much carbon fiber it’s willing to apply to a car – just look at the Mercedes-AMG G63 it completed recently – and the Equestre is no different, starting with the full carbon front apron that has larger air intakes on either side. These draw the eye to flaps ahead of and behind the front wheels, intended to smooth airflow over the wheelhouses at speed and promising, according to Mansory, an increase in downforce. The hood over that sonorous 6.5-liter V12 engine is also all carbon, with additional vents adding more aggression and tying in with the front fenders and their straked air outlets. The unusual “mask” of glossy black accenting between the headlights has also been replaced with a forged carbon fiber trim element, which is also vented.

Have Ferraris Lost Their Design Magic Over Time?
Some enthusiasts argue that new Ferrari designs rely too heavily on bold cutouts and sharp creases, losing the flowing elegance that defined past icons.

Additional carbon add-ons for the rocker panels feed the massive rear diffuser setup, where yet more forged carbon fiber with yellow striping highlights four individual tailpipes, between which an integrated third brake light aims to provide a motorsport feel. Even the rear spoiler has been refinished in forged carbon fiber. New VF.5 one-piece forged wheels in gloss black measure 21×10 inches at the front and 22×12 inches at the rear, with other finishes soon to be available. Finally, a tricolore stripe reminds onlookers of the Equestre’s true heritage.

Voracious V12 Gains A Greater Appetite For Horsepower
The aforementioned exhaust tips are the finishing touches on a new sports exhaust system that Mansory has created to help that V12 breathe better. As standard, this naturally aspirated engine offers 819 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque, but now, it makes an even more visceral 843 hp and 543 lb-ft, which the driver enjoys from the comfort of a fully Alcantara-retrimmed interior. The suede material also appears on the headliner, where LED lights create a Rolls-Royce-like “Starlight” effect and provide an additional opportunity for Mansory branding.

Similar treatment has been applied to the door cards, and the steering wheel has been replaced with a carbon and leather unit that boasts shift lights. New seatbelts, quilted floormats, and aluminum pedals complete the transformation. There’s no word on what this Equestre conversion costs (available for both Coupe and Spider), but with the base car starting around the half-million dollar mark, and this being revealed in the tax haven of Monaco, we can safely assume that another six figures will have been tacked onto the price. Maybe you can save a few bucks by avoiding the ombre paint finish.
