Ferrari 812 Superfast (2019)

In keeping with Ferrari’s model revision schedule, the 812 Superfast (internally F152M) provides the heavily revised successor to the F12; a car which at it’s launch was the fastest Ferrari ever. The 812SF brings a number of hefty updates and new componentry to the game, far more than just a power hike! The 812SF welcomes a number of transmission changes, aerodynamic and suspension and steering revisions along with an entirely new body, the first car designed entirely in-house at Ferrari.

In true Ferrari fashion, the 812 Superfast raises the stakes above even that of the limited run-out F12 TDF. A larger capacity V12 means power is now up a further 20 bhp from the TDF, and whilst the torque gain of 10 lb/ft may seem nominal, a monstrous 80% of this is available from just 3,500 rpm.

The 812 further inherited a number of technological advances first seen in the TDF. The chassis technology including the ‘virtual short wheelbase’ four-wheel steering system including direct inheritance of the TDF steering rack enables the large GT car to defy its dimensions entirely, resulting in a much smaller and more nimble driving experience.

Inside the car receives a lightly refreshed steering wheel setup. With all the controls for most-regularly used options on the steering wheel, the buttons have been enlarged making for easier, more intuitive use whilst driving.
