The Ferrari 812 Superfast is a grand tourer, designed and manufactured by Ferrari. Ferrari first announced this car on 2017 at Geneva motor show. Ferrari 812 superfast replaced the Ferrari F12.
Engine
Ferrari 812 Superfast is equipped with a 6.5L V12 front engine that can produce up to 789bhp and 718Nm of torque. Which is almost 20% more powerful than the predecessor Ferrari F12. In 2018 this F140 GA V12 engine was the most powerful naturally aspirated V12 at the time. This car achieved these stats without adding any hybrid technologies such as in the Ferrari SF90.
Transmission
Ferrari has equipped this car with a Getrag 7 speed automatic dual clutch gear box. This transmission is 30% faster to change up and 40% faster to change down than the previous gear box that was used in F12. This gear box is based on the engine used on Ferrari 458.
Performance
The Ferrari 812 Superfast can achieve a top speed of 340kmph and can accelerate 0-60mph in 2.9s. The Ferrari 812 Superfast is equipped with an electronic power steering system which is an upgraded from the previous hydraulic power steering system. This car is also equipped with a rear wheel steering system which rotates the rear wheel in the opposite direction when you’re steering, which was left behind by the Ferrari F12 TDF.
Brakes and Wheels
The Ferrari 812 Superfast comes with 20-inch front and rear wheels and equipped with Pirelli P Zero tires with front size 275, which are so much bigger and gives a good grip when cornering. When we talk about the breaks of this car, Ferrari equipped this car with the same set of brakes as the La Ferrari which is huge. The breaks are Brembo carbon ceramic extreme design disk brakes. Which size at 398mm front and 360mm rear disk. These brakes give the 812 Superfast 6% advantage over the F12.
Exterior
The Ferrari 812 Superfast comes with lot of exterior and aerodynamics upgrades over the Ferrari F12. Such as front air ducts to increase airflow, air vents on the bonnet and rear active flaps in the diffuser to add more down force and reduce drag. This car also has side vents which helps add down force and also cools the break cooling. If we look at the stylish upgrades, we can see Ferrari equipped this car with quad circular tail lights LED head lights and same body color diffuser to give that factory look.
Interior
The interior of the 812 Superfast is inspired by the F12 and La Ferrari. You can clearly see it in the center console, a/c air vents and dials in the dashboard. Like all the Ferrari flagship supercars this 812 Superfast also lack a central display, only a small display available for climate control. Which in my opinion suits this car a lot and it helps achieve that timeless look in these flagship supercars.
Price
The price of Ferrari 812 Superfast is can range around $350,000 and can get up to $430,000 with additional options. This car seems like the most value car of Ferrari.
Conclusion
As the replacement for the Ferrari F12, this car has achieved its goal and reached beyond that. While taking aspirations from legendary cars such as La Ferrari and 365 GTB, Ferrari managed to achieve their goal of creating a timeless naturally aspirated V12 beast.
