Rétromobile New York Reveals Fourth Wave of Exhibitors for Inaugural E

Review: 2026 Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider

As forced induction and electrification continue democratize horsepower throughout the automotive industry, luxury automakers have faced a growing challenge: how do you make an exotic machine feel special at a point in time when even mainstream vehicles offer jaw-dropping performance? Ferrari, to its notable credit, has answered this question in part by staying at the forefront of the latest technologies, as evidenced by cutting-edge entries like the SF90 and F80 – both of which utilize performance-tuned hybrid systems in conjunction with turbocharged engines and sophisticated all-wheel-drive setups. While those two mid-engine monsters offer truly stunning capability, there’s also a growing contingent of performance enthusiasts who yearn for the simpler days of long, curvaceous hoods, rear-wheel drive propulsion, and the banshee wail of a high-winding 12-cylinder engine at full chat. And that’s precisely where the 12Cilindri Spider stakes its claim. As the successor to the 812 Superfast, the 12Cilindri leverages clever active aerodynamics, advanced traction and stability control systems, and a trick four-wheel-steering system that manages the movement of each wheel independently to enhance cornering response, but it’s ultimately an homage to Ferrari’s storied V12 heritage. Aside from the no-nonsense name (which literally translates to “12 Cylinders”), the 12Cilindri’s exterior styling clearly takes some inspiration from the 365 GTB Daytona of the late 1960s. And rather than saddling its latest GT flagship with the complexities of bulky batteries, electric motors, turbochargers, and AWD, Ferrari has instead chosen to focus on the fundamentals that have made GT cars like the Daytona such enduring icons: elegant design, a finely honed chassis, and a truly spectacular naturally aspirated powerplant. It’s a 6.5-liter dry-sump V12 that produces 819 horsepower and revs to a searing 9,500 rpm. Ferrari only cites a deliberately ambiguous dry weight of 3,571 pounds for the Spider, which carries about 130 pounds of extra mass as compared to its coupe counterpart. But at a time when an alarming number of new performance cars are saddled with curb weights that start with a five, the potentially sub-4,000-pound 12Cilindri Spider feels lithe and unencumbered by countermeasures expressly designed to combat the laws of physics. Although its primary mission is to enable drivers to carve their way through picturesque locales at a lively pace without compromising comfort, the 12Cilindri has a notably more sports-car-like persona than the Aston Martin Vanquish – its closest rival – thanks in part to the Ferrari’s incredibly rigid chassis, dual-clutch gearbox, and earnestly performance-tuned suspension. While the eight-speed DCT occasionally takes a beat to get things going from a dead stop, and the hunkered-down stance makes the nose-lift feature a necessity when negotiating steep driveway aprons, the 12Cilindri Spider still manages to retain an admirable level of civility around town and out on the highway. Outfitted with a killer Burmester audio system, a retractable hard top that opens in just 14 seconds at speeds up to 28 mph, and sport seats that feature heating, ventilation, and adjustable bolstering as well as multiple massage routines, the 12Cilindri Spider can be a posh, effortless cruiser when called upon to do so. The only glaring deficiency in this regard comes from Ferrari’s HMI implementation, which utilizes frustratingly difficult-to-use capacitive surfaces on the steering wheel and the instrument panel to control features like adaptive cruise control and mirror adjustments, along with the various functions that are accessed via the 15.6-inch digital gauge cluster. While the infotainment system looks sharp and is quick to respond to inputs, Apple CarPlay conked out on more than one occasion during the few days I spent with the car. Nitpicks aside, one feature that definitely works as intended is the steering-wheel-mounted Manettino switch, which allows you to toggle between the available drive modes. Sport is the default, a naming decision which helps set ride quality expectations, but you can also press this switch like a button to enable Bumpy Road mode, which relaxes the adaptive dampers beyond their standard tuning for more compliance on rough pavement. Out in the canyons, I found myself more interested in the additional drama provided by Race mode. In contrast to convention, Ferrari chose to leave the steering, throttle mapping, and brake-by-wire settings the same in the Sport and Race modes for the sake of predictable response, instead heightening the driving experience when set to the latter by easing the electronic assists, ramping up the programming for the gearbox and the electronically-controlled rear differential, and – importantly – opening up the exhaust valves. While it’s still a little bit quieter than I’d prefer, even with the top down, the noise that this V12 makes while working its way past 9k is a soundtrack to your sweetest dreams. It took some conscious effort to stop myself from short-shifting the first few times I laid into the throttle with the gearbox in manual mode. The revs just seem to build endlessly. It’s also a decidedly different experience than what’s offered in the latest Vanquish. The Aston also features a 12-cylinder atomic bomb under its hood, but the crucial difference here is that the Vanquish’s lofty power figures are owed in part to turbocharging. This gives the Aston a substantial advantage in peak torque (738 lb-ft versus the 12Cilindri’s 500 pound-feet), but it also relegates its redline to a relatively pedestrian 7,000 rpm. The upshot is that not only does the 12Cilindri deliver a much more emotive soundtrack when you drop the hammer, it also feels significantly more buttoned down when called upon to hustle through a technical section of road. Its quick steering rack takes a moment to acclimate to, but it soon becomes apparent that the chassis, brakes, and powertrain have no problem keeping pace. <- Gallery -> The Manettino switch also has dedicated settings for partially or completely disabling the traction and stability control systems if you’re feeling brave (or prefer to do your grand touring sideways), but the intervention is so seamless when these systems are enabled that they rarely distract from the proceedings. While the Vanquish twists and shimmies as the powertrain and the electronics have a debate over the fastest way forward, the 12Cilindri just feels more planted and easier to trust when really hauling the mail. In an era when quadruple-digit horsepower has somehow become readily achievable for production cars, the Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider is a reminder that character and emotion aren’t attributes that can be easily quantified on a spec sheet. There will be a time – probably in the foreseeable future – where folks will gaze into the open clamshell hood of a 12Cilindri and say, "Man, they don’t make ’em like this anymore." Like it or not, the days of the unassisted Ferrari V12 are almost certainly coming to a close. With that in mind, well-heeled traditionalists would be wise to savor the moment.

Rétromobile New York Reveals Fourth Wave of Exhibitors for Inaugural Edition

With the show's Javits Center debut set for November 19-22, 2026, organizers have confirmed a fourth wave of exhibitors.

Rétromobile New York keeps adding to its first guest list. With the show's Javits Center debut set for November 19-22, 2026, organizers have confirmed a fourth wave of exhibitors, building on a lineup that already runs deep. For an inaugural edition, the momentum has been hard to miss.

This wave is where the range really shows. Spyker brings 145 years of hand-built Dutch sports cars, each one taking eight hundred hours to assemble. Lapland Ice Driving offers Formula 1 circuits carved into the ice of Swedish Lapland. The Hangar Group is building garage condominiums for collectors who want their cars stored like art. Add boutique dealers like Auto Source Group and Mouse Motors, plus restoration specialist Newark Auto, and you get a show that refuses to sit in one lane. It's shaping up to be one of the more interesting stops on the North American calendar this fall.

Lapland Ice Driving

Since 2006, Lapland Ice Driving has offered motoring enthusiasts an experience like nowhere else: the art of ice driving, in the heart of Swedish Lapland. In 2026, the centre celebrates twenty years, faithful to a single standard: turning every stay into a lasting emotion.

The estate is the world’s largest driving centre: 1,200 hectares, six times the size of Monaco. Thirteen circuits are laid out on the ice, including five full-scale replicas of Formula 1 tracks : Silverstone, Nürburgring, Yas Marina, Paul Ricard and Sepang. With neither barrier nor wall, simply lined with fresh snow, these tracks allow speeds of up to 200 km/h in complete safety.

The fleet brings together thirty sports cars and supercars from 300 to 800 hp: Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, Alpine, BMW and many others, prepared for these extreme conditions: studded tyres, driver-assistance systems disengaged, ABS included. Every programme is fully tailored and led by a dedicated instructor. The teaching framework was designed by founder Eric Gallardo, a former professional test driver with thirty-five years of experience.

The hospitality matches the driving: a four-star hotel ten minutes from the facilities, a 24/7 concierge service, courtesy cars, a private cocktail reception every evening and private transfers from Arvidsjaur airport, connected daily to Stockholm.

Each season, 70% of drivers have been before, some every winter since the very beginning. Far more than a driving activity, Lapland Ice Driving is an immersive experience where emotion, pleasure and respect for nature come together.

Lapland Ice Driving: Like nowhere else.

Auto Source Group

Welcome to Auto Source Group, a premier boutique dealer headquartered in Miami, Florida. They specialize in the sourcing, sale, and representation of exceptional collector-grade vehicles, ranging from modern performance icons to celebrated classics and rare award-winning grade examples.

The Hangar Group

Established in 2019, The Hangar Group has created a new class of real estate for collectors. Each development offers private garage condominiums where owners can store, display, and enjoy their most prized vehicles and valuables within a setting that rivals the world’s most exclusive clubs.

The brand’s newest location, The Hangar in the Hamptons, brings this vision to the East End. Set across 32 acres adjacent to Francis S. Gabreski Airport, the 62-unit gated community will feature a rooftop terrace overlooking the airfield, a sculptural owners’ lounge, golf and driving simulators, and curated travel experiences through The Hangar Collective, including European rallies through the Dolomites, Lake Garda, and Venice.

The Hangar in the Hamptons builds on the success of its established locations in Riviera Beach and Palm Beach International Airport, with future destinations already on the horizon in Miami and beyond. Across every property, owners benefit from 24-hour monitored surveillance, biometric access, concierge services, and a like-minded community united by a shared passion for design and craftsmanship.

Spyker

Spyker has been making things of exceptional quality since 1880. Founded in Hilversum by two Dutch brothers, the company built carriages, moved into motorcars, won races, and in 1914 merged with the Dutch Aircraft Factory to produce fighter planes.

The motto ‘Nulla tenaci invia est via’, dates from that era. It has not changed. Each Spyker takes eight hundred hours to build by hand. Forty of those are spent on the interior alone. Eleven hides cover the cabin; the steering wheel is stitched with two needles at once by a single craftsman over four hours.

The screw heads inside are aligned by hand to face the same direction. No one will notice, which is precisely the point. The C8 Preliator XXV is the latest expression of this. Twenty-five cars, each commissioned around its future owner rather than configured from a menu.

Spyker is the world’s only Dutch luxury sports car. It does not belong to a larger group. It has no interest in volume. What it has is 145 years of documented history and the conviction to build the way it always has: by hand, in the Netherlands, one at a time.
