Ferrari 812 Superfast The Ferrari 812 Superfast is a front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive grand tourer produced by Ferrari since 2017. It succeeded the Ferrari F12berlinetta as the flagship V12 coupé and was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show with a road-going package emphasizing Ferrari F140 engine development, Aldo Costa-era engineering philosophies, and styling from the Maranello design team. The model integrates active aerodynamics and manettino-style driving modes derived from Ferrari’s Formula 1 and GT racing programs.
The 812 Superfast represents Ferrari’s continuation of a lineage that includes the Ferrari 365 GTB/4, Ferrari 550 Maranello, and Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, combining a naturally aspirated V12 engine with modern electronics from Ferrari LaFerrari and chassis control systems influenced by Ferrari 488 GTB research. Ferrari positioned the 812 as a successor to the Ferrari F12 platform, offering greater power, revised dynamics, and updated aesthetics by designers associated with Pininfarina, Centro Stile Ferrari, and consultants who previously worked with Giorgetto Giugiaro and Sergio Pininfarina.
Development drew on expertise from Ferrari’s divisions, including engineers who had worked on Scuderia Ferrari racecars and road models such as the Ferrari Enzo, Ferrari California, and Ferrari FF. Chassis tuning tapped knowledge from Michelin tyre programs and collaborations with suppliers like Brembo and Magneti Marelli. Aerodynamic advances incorporated lessons from the Maranello wind tunnel, similar to work on the Ferrari 458 Italia and Ferrari 812 GTS convertible derivative. Exterior styling echoed cues seen in concepts shown at Milan Design Week and shared surface language with Ferrari Portofino and Ferrari Roma, while interior ergonomics referenced layouts from the Ferrari F8 Tributo.
The powerplant is the F140 GA 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12, a development of the engine family used in the Ferrari 599, Ferrari F12, and LaFerrari hypercar. The unit delivers 789 PS and 718 N·m, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission derived from gearboxes used in the Ferrari 458 and Ferrari 488 families. Suspension employs magnetorheological dampers similar to systems developed alongside Ohlins and dynamics control systems influenced by Formula 1 electronic control units from suppliers like Bosch and Siemens. Braking uses carbon-ceramic discs from Brembo and wheel designs developed with Pirelli for P Zero tyres. Weight distribution and structural design leverage aluminium subframes and monocoque techniques pioneered with assistance from Dallara engineers.
Ferrari quoted a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) time of around 2.9 seconds and a top speed exceeding 340 km/h (211 mph), figures that situate the 812 among rivals like the Aston Martin DB11 AMR, Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, and McLaren 720S. Handling systems incorporate F1-Trac traction technology and Electronic Stability Control calibrations evolved from Ferrari’s GT competition programs. The vehicle’s aerodynamic package, including underbody diffusers and active flaps, builds on solutions used in the Ferrari F12tdf and was refined using computational fluid dynamics teams who have worked on projects for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Stellantis-affiliated firms.
Ferrari expanded the 812 line with the convertible Ferrari 812 GTS, developed alongside coachbuilders who previously collaborated on limited editions like the Ferrari SP1 and Ferrari SP2 specials. Special editions and one-offs have been commissioned through Ferrari Special Projects, attracting bespoke commissions similar to cars ordered by collectors associated with RM Sotheby’s and Gooding & Company auctions. Tuning houses such as Novitec and Mansory have produced aftermarket packages; factory-sanctioned track-focused derivatives borrow technology from the Ferrari Challenge series and GT3 variants used in FIA competition.
Assembly takes place at Ferrari’s historic facility in Maranello, where production lines also handle limited series like the LaFerrari and Ferrari SF90 Stradale. Sales networks include dealerships across regions such as North America, Europe, Asia, and markets influenced by collectors in Monaco, Dubai, and Hong Kong. Pricing positioned the 812 above the Ferrari Portofino M and below hypercars like the Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta, with demand monitored by analysts at firms such as JATO Dynamics and Frost & Sullivan; secondary market activity appears in auction houses like Barrett-Jackson and Bonhams.
Critical reception praised the 812 for its engine character and performance, earning attention from publications including Autocar, Top Gear, Motor Trend, Car and Driver, and Evo. Awards and recognition came from automotive juries affiliated with events such as the Goodwood Festival of Speed and lists compiled by Motor1 and Robb Report, while enthusiasts compared its dynamics with rivals from Lamborghini, Porsche, and Aston Martin. The model also featured in automotive media productions produced by outlets like BBC and Sky Sports automotive programs.
