Described as “the most powerful and fastest Ferrari in the marque’s history”, the Ferrari 812 Superfast is set to debut at the 87th edition of the Geneva International Motor Show.
Powered by a new 6.5-litre V12 engine that unleashes 800hp – a new benchmark in the mid-front-engined sports car segment – the Ferrari 812 makes maximum power at 8,500 rpm, which translates to a specific power output of 123 hp/l, along with 530 lb-ft of torque at 7000 rpm.
The Ferrari 812 Superfast is the first Ferrari to be equipped with EPS (Electric Power Steering) to exploit the full potential of the car’s performance envelope. With help from the latest 5.0 version of Ferrari’s patented Side Slip Control (SSC), the Ferrari 812 Superfast is thrilling to handle and even more rewarding to challenge. Furthermore, the Superfast also utilises Ferrari’s Virtual Short Wheelbase 2.0 system, significantly augmenting the Superfast’s nimbleness while reducing response times.
Designed by the Ferrari Styling Centre, the 812 Superfast has a two-box design with a high tail reminiscent of the glorious 365 GTB4 of 1969. The design of the flanks visually shortens the tail and is characterised by impressively muscular wheel arches that imbue the 812 Superfast with the power and aggression warranted by its stunning V12. Sleek LED headlights are integrated alongside the sculpted air intakes while rear proudly sports four round iconic taillights inspired by Ferrari tradition.
The 812 Superfast arrives in Geneva clad in the exclusive “Rosso Settanta” colour palette marking the company’s 70th anniversary.
Last but not least, the 812 Superfast features more aggressive ergonomic seats alongside the new HMI, including new steering wheel and instrument clusters and the latest infotainment and air-conditioning controls.
