Summary


The Ferrari 812 Superfast is a high-performance two-seat sports car and the flagship of the ‘regular’ Ferrari range. it was unveiled at the 2017 Geneva motor show as a replacement for the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta.

The coupé 812 Superfast was subsequently joined in 2019 by the targa-roofed Ferrari 812 GTS, which hit UK streets in summer 2020.

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

As of January 2024, the Ferrari 812 Superfast and 812 GTS have a New Car Expert Rating of D with a score of 59%.
