Compare the2025 Ferrari 12CilindriVS 2025 Chevrolet Corvette

The 12Cilindri has a standard blind spot warning system that uses sensors to alert the driver to objects in the vehicle’s blind spots where the side view mirrors don’t reveal them. A system to reveal vehicles in the Corvette’s blind spot costs extra.

Both the 12Cilindri and the Corvette have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights and lane departure warning systems.

The 12Cilindri comes with a full 3-year/unlimited-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire car and includes free 24-hour roadside assistance. The Corvette’s 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty expires sooner.

The 12Cilindri’s corrosion warranty is unlimited miles longer than the Corvette’s (unlimited vs. 100,000 miles).

Ferrari pays for scheduled maintenance on the 12Cilindri for 7 years and unlimited miles. Ferrari will pay for oil changes, air filter replacements, cabin filter replacement, brake fluid replacement, inspections, and any other required maintenance. Chevrolet only pays for the first scheduled maintenance visit on the Corvette.

For smoother operation, better efficiency and fewer moving parts, the 12Cilindri has an overhead cam design, rather than the old pushrod design of some of the engines in the Corvette.

The 12Cilindri’s 6.5 DOHC V12 produces 329 more horsepower (819 vs. 490) and 35 lbs.-ft. more torque (500 vs. 465) than the Corvette’s standard 6.2 V8. The 12Cilindri’s 6.5 DOHC V12 produces 324 more horsepower (819 vs. 495) and 30 lbs.-ft. more torque (500 vs. 470) than the Corvette Z51’s standard 6.2 V8. The 12Cilindri’s 6.5 DOHC V12 produces 164 more horsepower (819 vs. 655) than the Corvette E-Ray’s standard 6.2 V8 hybrid.

In heavy traffic or at stoplights the 12Cilindri’s engine automatically turns off when the vehicle is stopped, saving fuel and reducing pollution. The engine is automatically restarted when the driver gets ready to move again. If the conditions warrant or the driver wishes, the system can be manually disabled at any time for the duration of a trip. The Corvette doesn’t offer an automatic engine start/stop system.

The 12Cilindri has 5.8 gallons more fuel capacity than the Corvette (24.3 vs. 18.5 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

For better stopping power the 12Cilindri’s brake rotors are larger than those on the Corvette:

The 12Cilindri’s brakes have 40% more swept area (the area covered by the brake pads) than the Corvette (898.6 vs. 640 square inches), so the 12Cilindri has more braking power available.

For better traction, the 12Cilindri has larger tires than the Corvette (F:275/35R21 & R:315/35R21 vs. F:245/35R19 & R:305/30R20).

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the 12Cilindri has standard 21-inch wheels. Smaller 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels are standard on the Corvette. The Corvette’s largest wheels are only 20-inches in the front and 21-inches in the rear.

If the windows are left open on the 12Cilindri the driver can close them all from a distance using the remote. On a hot day the driver can also lower the windows the same way. The driver of the Corvette can only close the windows from inside the vehicle, with the ignition on.

The 12Cilindri’s rain-sensitive wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically based on the amount of rainfall on the windshield. This allows the driver to concentrate on driving without constantly adjusting the wipers. The Corvette’s manually variable intermittent wipers have to be constantly adjusted.

The 12Cilindri has standard massaging front seats in order to maximize comfort and eliminate fatigue on long trips. Massaging seats aren’t available in the Corvette.

To keep a safe, consistent following distance, the 12Cilindri has a standard adaptive cruise control, which alters the speed of the vehicle without driver intervention. This allows the driver to use cruise control more safely without constantly having to disengage it when approaching slower traffic. The Corvette doesn’t offer an adaptive cruise control.

To quickly and conveniently keep personal devices charged without cables tangling and wearing out, the Ferrari 12Cilindri has a standard wireless phone charging system (Qi) in the center console. Wireless charging costs extra on the Corvette.
