12 cylinders. Pure emotion. And more room for adventure.
The Ferrari 12Cilindri is a reminder of why people buy emotional cars in the first place.
A naturally aspirated V12.
830 CV.
Up to 9,500 rpm.
And a silhouette that deliberately evokes the classic front-engine Ferrari Berlinettas.
This makes the 12Cilindri essentially the ideal car for an extended road trip.
Across the Alps.
Through Northern Italy.
To Lake Como.
Or further toward the South of France.
However, even with a true Gran Turismo, the same practical question inevitably arises at some point:
Where do you put the luggage when a weekend getaway turns into an extended journey?
That is precisely why we at ASPHALTKIND have turned our attention to the Ferrari 12Cilindri.
Can you mount a roof box on a Ferrari 12Cilindri?
In principle, a Ferrari 12Cilindri can also be equipped with a tailored roof box and carrier solution.
As with other supercars and GT models, however, there are no conventional roof rails onto which a standard universal rack can simply be attached.
Therefore, we first analyze the specific vehicle, the roof configuration, and the intended use.
Where roof surfaces permit, a vacuum suction cup carrier system, for example, can provide a flexible solution.
Other vehicles, by contrast, require a dedicated engineered attachment solution.
We have already gathered extensive experience in this exact area with Porsche, Lamborghini, McLaren, and various other Ferrari models.
For us, a roof box solution does not begin with the box itself. It begins with the vehicle.
Why the Ferrari 12Cilindri is exceptionally well-suited for Travel Performance
The 12Cilindri is not a pure track tool.
Here, Ferrari deliberately combines extreme performance with the character of a Gran Turismo.
This is precisely what makes the vehicle particularly compelling for ASPHALTKIND.
From the very beginning, our concept was never to make extraordinary cars more practical.
Rather, our goal is to ensure that owners can use them more frequently for actual journeys.
In our view, a V12 Ferrari belongs not just in a collection, but on the road.
Particularly with a front-engine Ferrari, the journey quickly becomes the core of the experience.
270 liters of trunk capacity is respectable—but an additional 400 liters fundamentally transforms the trip.
Ferrari specifies a luggage compartment capacity of 270 liters for the 12Cilindri.
For a two-seater Ferrari, that is quite usable.
For a weekend trip with two people, this space can even be completely sufficient.
However, spatial requirements increase rapidly as soon as the trip gets longer.
Jackets.
Additional footwear.
Multiple bags.
Winter apparel.
Or simply the freedom of not having to overthink every single centimeter when packing.
Our ASPHALTKIND performance roof box offers approximately 400 liters of additional volume.
This provides more additional storage space on the roof than the factory trunk itself offers.
This significantly changes the utility of such a vehicle.
The roof box does not turn the Ferrari into a station wagon – and precisely that is not its purpose.
Of course, one could take a large SUV for the exact same vacation.
It would have more doors.
More storage space.
And probably fewer discussions when packing.
Yet an SUV does not rev up to 9,500 rpm.
Precisely for this reason, we do not want to replace the Ferrari with the more practical vehicle.
We merely want to eliminate one of the practical reasons that speak against it.
The 12Cilindri remains an emotional V12 GT. One can simply bring significantly more along quite suddenly.
A roof box on a Ferrari must become an integral part of the design.
Particularly on the 12Cilindri, this is of utmost importance.
The vehicle thrives on its proportions.
Long bonnet.
Low-slung cabin.
Wide rear profile.
A conventional, bulky plastic box would quickly compromise these lines.
That is why our performance roof box features a deliberately low-profile and elongated design.
It does not attempt to remain invisible.
Instead, it mounts to the vehicle in a way that creates a deliberate, cohesive design statement.
More room for adventure, without compromising the vehicle's lines.
Carbon fiber complements the world of the Ferrari 12Cilindri
We manufacture the ASPHALTKIND performance roof box from carbon fiber in our dedicated fiber composite production facility in Germany.
As a result, carbon fiber is not merely a visible design element.
The material is integral to the product's engineering.
On the 12Cilindri, this material aesthetic integrates seamlessly with custom vehicle configurations.
Available finishes include, for example:
- Exposed carbon fiber
- Gloss black
- Matte black
- Custom body color paint finish
- Custom accent colors
- Stripes or graphic elements
- ASPHALTKIND branding
- completely clean finish
This allows a red, black, or custom-configured Ferrari Berlinetta to be paired with a uniquely tailored roof box.
The box is not designed to simply fit a Ferrari. It is designed to fit this specific Ferrari.
Performance does not end with the V12
With the Ferrari 12Cilindri, it is easy to focus exclusively on the engine.
6.5-liter displacement.
830 CV.
9,500 rpm.
A top speed exceeding 340 km/h.
Naturally, a roof box is not intended for such speeds.
However, these technical specifications clearly indicate the caliber of vehicle on which our products are deployed.
Consequently, since our initial product development, ASPHALTKIND has focused on engineering aspects that extend far beyond mere cargo capacity.
- Aerodynamics
- Stability
- Lightweight construction
- Design
- Vehicle integration
For us, performance doesn't stop at the engine.
Why the Ferrari 12Cilindri is more than just a new SEO vehicle for us
We have already showcased the 12Cilindri together with our ASPHALTKIND performance roof box.
In doing so, the vehicle aligns particularly well with a development we are observing increasingly among our customers.
Exceptional cars are no longer just being collected.
Many owners want to travel with them.
Precisely for this reason, we have already driven with Ferrari, Lamborghini, and McLaren through the Alps and St. Moritz.
Como and extended road trips have also become an integral part of the ASPHALTKIND world.
The 12Cilindri is therefore a logical next step for us.
After all, a modern V12 grand tourer should do precisely what its concept promises: travel.
The journey is part of the destination
With a regular car, the vacation might begin upon arrival.
With a Ferrari, that should be different.
Tackling the first alpine pass is part of the journey.
The road along Lake Como is part of the journey.
And even a longer stretch of highway feels different when a naturally aspirated V12 is working up front.
Precisely for this reason, we find it regrettable when this car is passed over solely due to luggage constraints.
For us, travel performance means minimizing this compromise.
Frequently asked questions about the Ferrari 12Cilindri roof box
Can you mount a roof box on a Ferrari 12Cilindri?
Generally, yes. Since the Ferrari lacks conventional roof rails, it requires a suitable alternative mounting solution. ASPHALTKIND customizes the technical integration specifically to the vehicle and roof configuration.
How much luggage space does the Ferrari 12Cilindri have?
Ferrari specifies a trunk volume of 270 liters for the 12Cilindri. This provides the V12 GT with usable storage space for shorter trips.
How much additional storage capacity does the ASPHALTKIND roof box provide?
Our performance roof box offers approximately 400 liters of additional volume, significantly expanding the Ferrari's travel capabilities.
Is the ASPHALTKIND roof box made of carbon fiber?
Yes. We manufacture our performance roof box from carbon fiber in our own composite manufacturing facility in Germany.
Can the roof box be painted to match the Ferrari?
Yes. We configure every roof box individually. In addition to exposed carbon fiber, options include OEM paint finishes, gloss or matte black, as well as custom graphics and accent colors.
Can the carrier system be removed?
The specific solution depends on the vehicle configuration. For suitable vehicles, a flexibly mountable vacuum carrier system can be utilized, for example.
Ferrari 12Cilindri with Roof Box: Precisely what Travel Performance was engineered for
A Ferrari 12Cilindri does not need a roof box to be the ultimate Gran Turismo.
However, additional storage capacity ensures it remains the vehicle of choice even when the journey is extended.
To St. Moritz.
To Lake Como.
Through the Dolomites.
Or simply anywhere a V12 is the superior choice over a larger trunk.
