Ferrari Radiators has announced a new Ferrari FF radiator replacement developed for owners of Ferrari V12 grand tourers who want stronger construction, improved serviceability, and a direct fit installation.
The radiator program covers the Ferrari FF, Ferrari GTC4Lusso, Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, Ferrari F12tdf, Ferrari 812 Superfast, Ferrari 812 GTS, Ferrari 812, Ferrari Monza SP1, and Ferrari Monza SP2.
Ferrari Radiators is the official CSF partner behind this product line. Ferrari Radiators and CSF created and tested this Ferrari specific radiator program together. Ferrari Radiators led the vehicle specific product direction, fitment requirements, service considerations, and customer offering. CSF is the manufacturer responsible for producing these world class radiator assemblies. We wanted to create the best performing and most durable cooling system on the market, and we did just that.
Our all new radiator design gives owners of several Ferrari V12 models access to the most advanced cooling solutions for their vehicles. All the while preserving the fitment requirements of each application. Before ordering, owners should confirm the exact vehicle, model year, engine configuration, and original radiator reference. * The Ferrari GTC4Lusso T is excluded from the stated application list.
A Cooling Upgrade for Ferrari V12 Grand Tourers
Ferrari grand tourers combine long distance comfort with serious performance. The FF and GTC4Lusso use distinctive shooting brake body designs, while the F12, 812, and Monza represent different expressions of Ferrari V12 engineering. These cars are designed to be driven, and many are now entering the age when major cooling system components may need replacement.
The original radiator design used on the listed applications combines an aluminum core with plastic end tanks. That construction can provide dependable service when new and properly maintained. However, the plastic tanks and hose connections remain exposed to heat cycles, vibration, coolant service, and repeated inspection. As the vehicle ages, plastic deterioration affects the tank material, the inlet and outlet necks, and the bond between the tank and the core.
A radiator leak may begin as a small loss of coolant or a weakened hose connection. But, if the condition is not corrected, it can reduce the cooling system’s ability to control engine temperature. A Ferrari FF radiator replacement (or any of the other models) is therefore relevant to both preventive maintenance and owners seeking a stronger alternative to the original tank and core construction.
All Aluminum TIG Welded Construction
This new Ferrari Radiators product line uses an all aluminum 100% TIG welded construction. The aluminum core and aluminum tanks are joined as a welded assembly rather than using the plastic tank and crimped gasket arrangement found in the OEM comparison. This changes the material at an important part of the radiator and removes the plastic tank material from the replacement design. Making our radiators much stronger and more durable than the OEM alternative.
The radiator uses a two row, 42 millimeter ultra high performance core. The published specification identifies 87 cooling tubes and 88 cooling fin rows. The OEM comparison identifies one row and 33 millimeter core thickness for the FF and GTC4Lusso, and one row and 37 millimeter core thickness for the F12, 812, and Monza. Our upgraded core is designed as a high capacity solution for the listed vehicle families.
This radiator also uses a premium satin black finish. That finish gives the radiator a clean appearance that suits a Ferrari engine compartment while protecting the visual character of the installation. It is also a long lasting durable coating that withstands chips and dings much better than other options on the market. The CNC machined mounting brackets and OEM style double barbed inlet and outlet connections also support the factory oriented design.
Five Millimeter Fins & Exclusive B Tube Technology
The Ferrari FF radiator replacement uses five millimeter tall multi louvered fins. This goes for all the models served. A multi louvered fin has a shaped surface that increases contact area and helps direct air through the core. The fin design is intended to improve the exchange of heat while maintaining useful airflow through the radiator assembly.
The cooling tubes use CSF Exclusive B Tube Technology. This tube design increases heat transfer by approximately 15% compared with regular oval welded tubes according to CSF testing. When combined with the five millimeter fin design, the manufacturer reports an overall heat transfer increase of up to 25%.
Ferrari Radiators uses a more conservative customer facing statement of 15% better cooling than OEM where that claim is published for its product line. The Ferrari Radiators statement and the manufacturer attributed 20-25% heat transfer efficiency statement are not the same claim. Ferrari Radiators downThe first is the customer facing Ferrari Radiators position. The second is a technical claim attributed to the manufacturer and its published design information.
Actual vehicle cooling depends on ambient temperature, airflow, vehicle speed, coolant condition, fan operation, engine condition, installation quality, and any modifications. The radiator is designed to support improved cooling capacity. It does not promise a specific coolant temperature, horsepower increase, lap time, or result under every operating condition.

A Larger Core for Better Cooling Capacity
The published comparison describes the CSF core as 28 percent larger than the original FF and GTC4Lusso radiator and 14 percent larger than the original F12, 812, and Monza radiator. This difference comes from the two row, 42 millimeter aluminum core. A larger core can increase fluid capacity and provide more core area for heat dissipation, although the complete cooling system must be in good condition for the radiator to operate correctly.
The radiator also adds one cooling tube and one fin row compared with the published OEM comparison. That change works together with the B Tube Technology, five millimeter fins, aluminum tanks, and TIG welded construction. The result is a product designed around cooling capacity, long term material durability, and practical service requirements rather than a cosmetic change alone.
For owners who use their Ferrari on long road trips, in warm climates, during spirited driving, or in performance settings, the additional capacity offers a reason to consider the upgrade during planned cooling system service. Owners of modified vehicles should still evaluate the entire cooling system and confirm that the radiator is appropriate for the specific configuration.
Complete Ferrari Model Coverage
The radiator program is designed for the following applications:
• 2011-2016 Ferrari FF
• 2017-2020 Ferrari GTC4Lusso (excluding the GTC4Lusso T)
• 2013-2017 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta
• 2016-2017 Ferrari F12tdf
• 2018-2022 Ferrari 812 Superfast
• 2020-2024 Ferrari 812 GTS
• 2024 Ferrari 812
• 2023 Ferrari Monza SP1
• 2023 Ferrari Monza SP2
The published OEM references are Ferrari 263427 for the FF and GTC4Lusso group, Ferrari 333926 for the F12 group, and Ferrari 319867 for the 812 and Monza group. These references should be used as part of a fitment check, not as a substitute for confirming the exact vehicle application.
The Ferrari FF and GTC4Lusso share one stated OEM reference group in the source material. The F12 Berlinetta and F12tdf are listed separately from the 812 and Monza applications. Because Ferrari model variations can include different cooling system layouts and service histories, customers should provide the vehicle identification number or current radiator information when fitment is uncertain.
Direct Fit Installation and Serviceability
The radiator is designed as a true plug and play drop in replacement. The factory shrouds and brackets are intended to line up with the new assembly, and the installation is designed to require no vehicle modifications. The product also accommodates the engine oil cooler on the left hand side and the air conditioning condenser at the front of the installation area.
A direct fit design can make a major difference on a high value Ferrari. It allows a qualified technician to replace the radiator without fabricating brackets, changing the vehicle’s mounting architecture, or making permanent modifications to the cooling system. The customer still needs to use the correct installation procedure and verify all connections before the vehicle returns to service.
The serviceability benefits also matter as these cars age. Ferrari maintenance includes periodic coolant service and cooling system inspection. During those procedures, an older plastic inlet or outlet neck may shed material or become more fragile when the hose is moved. Deteriorated material can compromise the seal and introduce debris into the cooling system. An all aluminum replacement removes the plastic tank and neck material from the new radiator assembly.
Replacing the radiator does not correct every possible cooling system problem. Technicians should inspect the water pump, hoses, clamps, thermostat, fans, sensors, ducting, condenser, and electrical controls. The system should be filled with the correct coolant, bled properly, and checked for leaks after the engine reaches operating temperature.
Tested for Quality and Finished for Ferrari Applications
Each radiator is individually leak tested and pressure tested according to the published product features. These checks are intended to identify leaks before the product is installed. The radiator is also designed with CNC machined brackets, double barbed connections, a satin black finish, and the factory oriented fitment expected for the listed Ferrari applications.
Ferrari Radiators and CSF created and tested this product program as official partners. Ferrari Radiators brought the Ferrari specific fitment requirements and customer needs to the development process. CSF supplied the manufacturing expertise, core technology, production engineering, and final radiator assembly. This is a joint product development relationship with clearly defined roles.
Ferrari Radiators is the seller and customer facing publisher for the product line. CSF is the manufacturer. CSF retains its own product identifiers, technical publications, and distribution channels. Hollywood Mechanic remains a separate organization and is not Ferrari Radiators, CSF, or the seller of the Ferrari Radiators product offering.
Warranty and Long Term Ownership Value
Ferrari Radiators provides a five year warranty for its radiator products according to the current Ferrari Radiators product information. The source CSF product listing identifies a separate two year limited warranty for the CSF manufacturer offering. Customers should rely on the warranty terms supplied with the product they purchase from Ferrari Radiators and review any installation or maintenance conditions.
A warranty is not an unlimited guarantee and does not replace correct installation or diagnosis. Owners should retain the invoice, product identification, fitment information, and installation record. Those records help with future service and preserve a clear history for a Ferrari that may remain in a collection or change ownership later.
Choosing the Correct Ferrari Radiator Replacement
The correct product selection begins with the vehicle model and year. Owners should then confirm the applicable OEM reference, compare the original radiator with the published fitment, and verify whether the vehicle is a GTC4Lusso T or a listed GTC4Lusso model. The Ferrari FF, F12, 812, and Monza groups use different original references, even though the CSF number 7250 radiator program is designed to cover them.
Customers can review the Ferrari Radiators product pages for the FF, GTC4Lusso, F12, 812, and Monza. Those pages provide the current price, stock status, product details, and warranty information. Price and availability are time sensitive and should be checked before ordering.
Ferrari Radiators’ new Ferrari FF radiator replacement gives owners of Ferrari V12 grand tourers a direct fit cooling solution with an all aluminum TIG welded structure, a two row 42 millimeter core, 87 cooling tubes, 88 fin rows, five millimeter multi louvered fins, B Tube Technology, CNC machined brackets, OEM style double barbed connections, individual testing, and a five year Ferrari Radiators warranty.
Owners can begin with the Ferrari FF application page, confirm the vehicle and OEM reference, and contact Ferrari Radiators when a specialist fitment review is needed.
