Summary


The Ferrari 812 Superfast was a high-performance two-seat sports car and the flagship of the ‘regular’ Ferrari range. it was launched in 2017 as a replacement for the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, and remained in production until 2023 after which it was itself replaced by the latest Ferrari 12Cilindri.

The coupé 812 Superfast was joined in 2019 by the targa-roofed Ferrari 812 GTS, which hit UK streets in summer 2020. An ever-higher-performance version called the 812 Competizione came along a couple of years after that.

The 812 Superfast received mostly outstanding reviews from the UK motoring media over its life (with the notable exception of Jeremy Clarkson), with particular praise for its performance and comfort. The only criticisms were related to its expense and lack of practicality, neither of which are likely to bother potential customers.

As of January 2025, the Ferrari 812 Superfast and 812 GTS have a Used Car Expert Rating of E, with a score of 53%. Inevitably, the best results are for the car’s media reviews, while the score is dragged down by high running costs. However, anyone who can afford a used 812 Superfast is likely to be fairly comfortable with the required financial obligations.
