Delight the senses with Ferrari’s unparalleled performance
Ferrari, founded in 1939, is known across the globe as a vehicle worthy of envy and a purchase to aspire to.
Though the company created its first car in 1940, the iconic emblem would not grace a design until 1947. Keeping up with the innovation and design for the ensuing decades has paid off well for the brand, which has been awarded titles such as world’s most powerful brand -- and could boast creating the world’s most expensive car.
There’s a reason why so many kids have a poster of a Ferrari on their wall growing up. The company continues to define style, sophistication, master craftsmanship, and above all else, power and speed, more than any other brand in the world. To own a Ferrari is to reach a status few can achieve, and to get behind the wheel of one is an indescribably delightful ensnaring of the senses.
Debuting this year, the 812 Superfast is a model name that hits the nail on the head. Taking several steps up from the F12 Berlinetta, the 812 Superfast is the most exhilarating performance you can find in a luxury sports car. However, the vehicle didn’t just upgrade on the F12 Berlinetta’s power: it also heavily inspired its sleek and sophisticated design.
As the fastest and most powerful Ferrari yet, the car leaves no room to disappoint. Sporting a 6.5-liter V12 engine, a maximum torque of 718 NM at 7,000 rpm, and near perfect weight distribution, this is a drive that will be crisp and heart pounding at every turn. The 812 Superfast also provides record-breaking power output of 800 CV at 8,500 rpm. The 812 Superfast can also reach top speeds of 211 miles per hour.
The perfect curves and lines of the 812 Superfast help create the most aerodynamic drive possible, but that’s not where the design stops. The redesigned interior is an optical illusion of the best kind, creating a visual that presents the top features in a way that makes them float midair.
As the first of its class in many aspects, the 812 Superfast can proudly state that it’s the first Ferrari in history to feature electric power steering. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with the Virtual Short Wheelbase 2.0 system to enhance the frontwheel power steering.
To create the most dynamic drive, the 812 Superfast integrates a suite of high-tech systems. Ferrari Peak Performance works with cornering and torque, while the Ferrari Power Oversteer helps to realign the car after coming out of a sharp corner.
As the improved and reimagined version of an already iconic Ferrari model, the 812 Superfast is a vehicle that will make your every hair stand at attention with a simple rev of the engine.
