FERRARI 812 GTS: THE V12 SPIDER RETURNS

The Ferrari 812 GTS sits at the intersection of speed and luxury, delivering both the boisterous wail of 789 prancing horses and the satisfying refinement of a cabin lined with Italian leather. It is Jekyll-and-Hyde duality in the extreme. This front-engine, rear-drive supercar is equally adept at whisking you comfortably to dinner at a three-star Michelin restaurant and mashing your innards together with its seemingly limitless performance. While Ferrari isn’t fond of us strapping our test gear to its products, we were able to clock a 2.7-second 60-mph run back in 2018 in the GTS’s coupe version, then called the Superfast. It hit 100 mph in 5.7 seconds and destroyed the quarter-mile in 10.4 seconds at 138 mph. Super-fast indeed. Under the hood of the 2023 812 GTS convertible—the only body style available for this model year —sits that same sensational 6.5-liter V-12. Our drive in a 2021 Ferrari 812 GTS confirmed this car’s incredible luxury-supercar bandwidth; we deemed it “two cars in one.” Anyone lucky enough to purchase a 2023 812 GTS will also be getting what is probably the last naturally aspirated V-12 Ferrari sports car without hybrid assist. As if the 812 needed anything more to make it special.
