The 812 Superfast takes over the legacy of the F12berlinetta and of the F12tdf an. The new model is aimed at customers who want the most powerful and exclusive Ferrari in the series, offering them an exhilarating driving experience on the road as well as on the racetrack, while remaining comfortable at the same time.
With a whopping 800 hp for the road, the new 6.5-liter twelve-cylinder sets a new benchmark in the front-mid-engine sports car segment. Maximum power is available at 8500 rpm and corresponds to a liter output of 123 hp/l. According to Ferrari, no other front-engine sports car has ever even come close to these figures. Maximum torque is 718 Nm at 7000 rpm, with 80 % of that available at 3500 rpm. To achieve this level of performance, direct injection with 350 bar pressure and variable intake manifolds was used for the first time in a high-performance sports car. Its concept originates from the naturally aspirated F1 engines. The dual-clutch transmission was specially geared for power transmission.
State-of-the-art steering systems and components promise unique handling and roadholding. The 812 Superfast is the first Ferrari to feature EPS (Electric Power Steering) steering. Full integration with all electronic control of driving dynamics - including the latest version 5.0 of Ferrari's patented Side-Slip Control (SSC) - makes the car's powerful performance easier to handle.
The cabin now has a sportier, more radical look, new more ergonomic seats, a new HMI (human-machine interface) with a new steering wheel and instrument cluster, and the latest developments in infotainment and climate control.
