It doesn’t take a car expert to recognize the signature style and roar of a Ferrari [2]. Renowned for their power, speed, and innovation, Ferrari continues to push the limits with the new Ferrari 812 Superfast [3]. The world premiere of the new, extreme performance V12 Berlinetta [4] occured in Geneva on February 16, 2017.

The 812 Superfast signifies a new era for Ferrari 12-cylinder [4]'s history, doing so by building upon the invaluable legacies left by previous designs–the F12 Berlinetta [5] and the F12 tdf [6]. With a comfortable interior and fine mechanical tuning, the car is great both on and off the track.

Souped up with the most powerful engine on the market, the front-engined vehicle sports a 6.5-litre V12 engine that unleashes a groundbreaking 800 cv [7] with its maximum power output at 8,500 rpm. These figures have significantly overtaken any other high performance vehicle of its class. The maximum torque [8] is 718 Nm @ 7,000 rpm, a significant 80% of which is already available at 3,500 rpm, improving driveability and acceleration at low revs. 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 even more.  

But what truly sets the Superfast ahead of its competitors is the addition of the Electric Power Steering [9]. Ferrari boasts about both the system's design and the limited availablity of a similar system amongst Ferrari's competitors. Aside from providing top-notch handling and control, the EPS offers complete integration with all the electronic vehicle dynamic controls, comprising the latest version of Ferrari’s patented creation. The Virtual Short Wheelbase 2.0 [10] rear-steering package reduces the car's response time and provides for more nimble handling.

With a sleek body that is reminiscent of the glorious 365 GTB4 of 1969, an interior that points to a luxury automobile, and the most technological innovation in a Ferrari to date, the Superfast is sure to be the most exciting Ferrari yet.
