They both have force induction(don't know if Ferrari does or not), but I would think that Ferrari could do with a 10 cylinder engine or possibly even 8 cylinders.

The car is Naturally Aspirated, no Supercharger or Turbocharger. Sure Ferrari could use a V8 with a supercharger or a V6 with Twin Turbos, but then it would take all of the Magic out of the car. A Ferrari F12 without a V12 is like a having sex and forgetting to bring the woman, you still gave an orgasm but it's just not as satisfying....
In short 12 Cylinders just because, there is no reason other than because they can!
