Long Story
The unveiling of this flagship V12 Berlinetta is particularly significant, as Ferrari remains to this day, the only manufacturer to have continuously produced sports cars with 12-cylinder engines throughout.
Powered by a new 6.5-litre V12, the 812 Superfast is the benchmark in the mid-front-engined sports car segment, achieving its maximum power output at 8,500 RPM which ensures the kind of thrilling top-end performance that is the exclusive characteristic of Ferrari’s V12s.
The 812 Superfast is striking for both its highly innovative design and aero package, as well as its unparalleled handling. It is the first Ferrari to introduce Electric Power Steering (EPS) which, in line with Ferrari tradition, is used to fully exploit the potential of the car in terms of performance. The introduction of the Virtual Short Wheelbase 2.0 system (PCV) combines the electric front-wheel steering assistance with the mechanical concept based on tyre dimensions and the rear-wheel steering. All integrated with the vehicle dynamics control systems, based on Version 5.0 of the SSC, with the aim of improving the agility and response time to steering wheel inputs.
This beast was displayed in two colours: red and grey.
