The first and most difficult challenge Ferrari always faces when it decides to develop a new model is to push the boundaries of its own achievements yet again. New, more sporty and ergonomic seats feature alongside the new HMI, including new steering wheel and instrument clusters and the latest infotainment and air-conditioning units.įERRARI 812 SUPERFAST: THE MOST HIGH-PERFORMANCE PRODUCTION FERRARI EVER - NEW, MORE POWERFUL 800 CV ENGINE The horizontal dash loops stylishly around the central air vents for a sophisticated, sculptural look. The cabin has been given a sportier, more radical look with the main elements seeming to float, creating an effect of both thoroughbred racing eagerness and lean elegance. The interior of the 812 Superfast has been revisited in line with the more extreme exterior whilst maintaining unaltered the exceptional on-board comfort and space that Ferrari's front-engined V12 berlinettas have always offered. Two examples are the multi-functional frontal section, which incorporates a cluster of aerodynamic solutions including active flaps at the front of the underbody, and the rear flank which features an unprecedented aerodynamic by-pass to increase downforce. The car is being launched in a special new colour, Rosso Settanta, which marks the company's 70th anniversary.Īs with all Ferraris, style and aerodynamic function are seamlessly integrated to produce innovative solutions and forms. Full-LED headlights integrated into the design of the sculpted air intakes on the bonnet also emphasise that front muscle, integrating with, and wrapping around the front wheelarch.Īt the rear, four round tail-lights inspired by Ferrari tradition emphasise a design crafted around horizontal lines and give the 812 Superfast a broad, imposing stance, visually lowering both spoiler and cabin. The design of the flanks visually shortens the tail and is characterised by impressively muscular wheelarches which imbue the 812 Superfast with the power and aggression warranted by its imposing V12. Seen in silhouette, the 812 Superfast has a fastback sleekness: a two-box design with a high tail reminiscent of the glorious 365 GTB4 of 1969.

The vehicle controls also feature, for the first time, the Virtual Short Wheelbase 2.0 system (PCV) which, following the experience gained with the F12tdf, features a further evolution of the software that improves the nimbleness of the handling and reduces the vehicle response times even further.ĭesigned by the Ferrari Styling Centre, the new 812 Superfast redefines the formal language of front-engined V12 Ferraris, underlining the car's exceptional performance with very sporty lines and proportions. It's the first Ferrari to sport EPS (Electric Power Steering) which, in accordance with Ferrari's uncompromising engineering approach, is used to fully exploit the potential of the car's performance and, through the complete integration with all the electronic vehicle dynamics controls – including the latest 5.0 version of Ferrari's patented Side Slip Control (SSC) - make its powerful performance easier to handle and even more thrilling to exploit. The 812 Superfast is equipped with leading-edge control systems and components, resulting in unparalleled handling and roadholding. The 812 Superfast's dual-clutch transmission has specific gear ratios which, combined with shorter up and down-shifting times between gears, sharpen throttle response still further. These performance levels were achieved in part by adopting a 350 bar direct injection system for the very first time on a high-performance engine and pairing it with variable geometry intake tracts conceptually derived from those of naturally-aspirated F1 engines. Maximum torque is 718 Nm 7,000 rpm, a significant 80% of which is already available at 3,500 rpm, improving both driveability and pick-up even at low revs.

The engine's power is underscored by a full, rich exhaust sound that exploits the acoustic clout delivered by its increased displacement.
