Is the latest 12-cylinder engine the most powerful?

The December issue of GENROQ brings you our first test drive impressions of the Ferrari 12-cylinder “12 Chilindori,” which has finally arrived in Japan. We thoroughly enjoyed this top-of-the-line GT model on everything from highways to winding roads, and also took a comparative test drive of the 812 Superfast. Also, keep an eye out for the fateful showdown between the Ferrari 356 GTB/4 and the Lamborghini Miura, which you can only read about in this magazine.

The second feature is our familiar “THE BATTLE” feature. We hope you enjoy the unique content you won’t find in other magazines, such as the Mercedes-AMG S63 E-Performance vs. Bentley Flying Spur Speed, the Bentley Bentayga EWB vs. Mercedes-Maybach GLS, and the Audi RS3 Sportback vs. Volkswagen Golf R.

Daytona vs. Miura: A Fateful Showdown

[The New World of Ferrari] The V12, rear-engine, front-wheel drive is the origin of Ferrari. The Daytona is the model for the 12-cylinder. This time, we will reexamine what was so appealing about the 12-cylinder supercars of that good old era. Of course, the Lamborghini Miura was brought out as a rival representing the era.

The pride of the Chauffeur SUV

[THE BATTLE] The term "chauffeur car" has been around for a long time. However, the situation surrounding it has changed dramatically. While luxury saloons were once the norm, SUVs and minivans are now on the rise. This time, we compare two cars that are synonymous with chauffeur SUVs. — [THE BATTLE] The term “chauffeur car” has been around for a long time.
