The Dallara T12 is a racing car developed by Italian manufacturer Dallara for use in the Formula Renault 3.5, a series premier division for World Series by Renault. The T12 is the third generation of car used by the World Series by Renault, and was introduced at Silverstone on August 24, 2011.[2]

The T12 chassis featured a new, 530 bhp (400 kW) V8 engine supplied by British firm Zytek Motorsport and badged as Renault Sport and designated as ZRS03. The car also featured a new gearbox developed by Ricardo and a Drag Reduction System similar to the one first used in the 2011 Formula One season. As the Formula Renault 3.5 is a spec series, the T12 is raced by every team and driver on the grid.
