Powered by a new 6.5-litre V12, the 812 Superfast is the benchmark in the mid-front-engined sports car
segment, achieving its maximum power output at 8,500 rpm, which ensures the kind of thrilling top-end
performance that is the exclusive characteristic of Ferrari’s V12s. Maximum torque is 718 Nm @ 7,000 rpm, a
significant 80% of which is already available at 3,500 rpm, improving driveability and pick-up at low revs.
The 812 Superfast is striking for both its highly innovative design and aero package, as well as its unparalleled
handling. It is the first Ferrari to introduce Electric Power Steering (EPS) which, in line with Ferrari tradition, is
used to fully exploit the potential of the car in terms of performance. The introduction of the Virtual Short
Wheelbase 2.0 system (PCV) combines the electric front-wheel steering assistance with the mechanical
concept based on tyre dimensions and the rear-wheel steering. All integrated with the vehicle dynamics
control systems, based on Version 5.0 of the SSC, with the aim of improving the agility and response time to
steering wheel inputs.
The two examples of the 812 Superfast on display feature new colours: the special celebratory Rosso 70 Anni
and Grigio Caldo Opaco. The new car is joined on the stand in Geneva by the California T, finished in Bianco
Italia, the 488 GTB in Giallo Tristrato, the 488 Spider in classic Rosso Corsa, and the GTC4Lusso in Nero
Stellato.
There is also a further example of Ferrari’s exclusive liveries developed to celebrate the 70th Anniversary, one
of the 70 different Tailor Made offerings inspired by iconic cars in the company’s history that are available on
each of the five models in the range. The 488 GTB on show is finished in Rosso Corsa with a Blu Laguna and
Giallo Modena livery inspired by the 290 MM driven by Juan Manuel Fangio in the 1956 Mille Miglia, which
saw Ferraris take the top four places.
