FRONT-ENGINE V12 GT
FERRARI 812 SUPERFAST
The most powerful naturally aspirated production car engine ever built.
The most powerful naturally aspirated production car engine ever built.
The Ferrari 812 Superfast carries the most powerful naturally aspirated production car engine ever created: a 6.5-liter V12 that produces 789 horsepower at a spine-tingling 8,500 RPM. In an age of turbocharging and electrification, the 812 stands as a magnificent monument to the purity of internal combustion.
As the successor to the F12berlinetta, the 812 Superfast doesn't merely improve upon its predecessor — it transcends it. More power, sharper handling through the innovative Virtual Short Wheelbase system (rear-wheel steering), and an intoxicating exhaust note that builds to a banshee wail at redline make this car an emotional experience unlike any other.
Ferrari's front-engine V12 GT lineage is one of the most storied in automotive history, stretching back through the 599 GTO, 575M Maranello, 550 Maranello, and the legendary Daytona. The 812 may represent the final chapter of this naturally aspirated saga — making it an instant collector's piece.

The 812's design language is dramatic yet purposeful. The aggressive front fascia with its large air intakes feeds the engine and brakes, while the sculpted flanks channel air along the body to cool the rear-mounted transaxle. The quad round taillights are a nod to Ferrari's heritage, while the flying buttresses at the rear are pure modern aero sculpture.
The Competizione A version adds a targa-top roof and even more extreme aero elements, while the standard 812 GTS offers open-top V12 motoring with a retractable hardtop that stows in 14 seconds at speeds up to 28 mph.
