All about Ferrari 812 Superfast
This Ferrari 812 Superfast is an upgraded version of its sister, the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, whose production has been discontinued. This new car replaces it. This Italian supercar was officially launched last March at the Geneva Motor Show and immediately became Ferrari’s most powerful and fastest production car in unlimited numbers.
The number 812 in the name of Ferrari's newest car is derived from 800 horsepower and 12 cylinders combined to reach 812.
In terms of exterior appearance, the 812 Superfast has a fierce design that provides tremendous aerodynamics, befitting the name of the venerable Ferrari company, which is now 70 years old.
The latest Ferrari is mechanically based on a 6.5-litre V12 engine that produces 789 hp (800 PS) and 718 Nm of torque. Seventy-five percent of the engine’s parts are completely new.
Interior Design of the Ferrari 812 Superfast
At first sight, one might get the impression that it is dark inside the Ferrari. Then, an outstanding game of leather and Alcantara starts to be revealed, along with yellow and gray accents. The seats fall under the object of a very faultless intervention: original stitching was kept on the side, with colored inserts and perforated, embroidered geometrical patterns. Improvements foreseen by the conversion include those for the central tunnel and dashboard marked by yellow-colored painting, embroidered door panels, and personalized headliner. And the steering wheel has been hand-trimmed and bolstered with painted accents. New floor mats, along with a plaque in the specially converted space behind the seats, further substantiate this as one truly unique vehicle.
- 6.5-liter V12 engine
- 718 Nm (528 lb-ft)
- 0-60 mph: Achieves in about 2.9 seconds
- Approximately 789 horsepower (800 CV)
- Top Speed: 211 mph (340 km/h)
Exterior Design of the Ferrari 812 Superfast
Crafted by the Ferrari Styling Centre, the 812 Superfast sets a new standard for Ferrari’s V12 front-mid engine design. Its dynamic lines and athletic proportions emphasize the car’s exceptional performance.
Seen from the side, the 812 Superfast is an elegant fastback with a sloping tail, a two-box design, and a high rear section reminiscent of the iconic 365 GTB4 of 1969.
The 812 Superfast’s three-dimensional wings feature air intakes behind the front wheels, designed to suck high-pressure air from the wheel wells and channel it along the doors. The design of the flanks gives the impression of a shortened tail, dominated by two prominent wheel arches that give the car a powerful and sharp appearance.
At the rear, the four circular taillights, in the traditional Ferrari shape, emphasize a design that revolves around horizontal lines and gives the car a wide, imposing appearance. This gives the impression that the wing and cabin are lower than they are without reducing the overall volume or the space of the trunk.
