The 789HP Ferrari 812 SuperFast is Super Fast - One Take

The Ferrari 812 Superfast exists purely as a tradition: Enzo Ferrari always believed in the Front Engined V12 driving the rear wheels, and those incredible proportions. The 789 HP 6.5L V12 is the most powerful naturally aspirated production engine in history, and one of the best sounding too. It has dual personalities, tame, easy-to-live-with luxury car, and total lunatic animal once you put your foot down.
Base Price: $336,000
Price as tested: $474,000

Ferrari of North America provided the vehicle, insurance, and a tank of fuel for this review.

I love how we live in an era where the road cars sound better than the F1 cars.

[colecampagna]

Consistently the only car reviewer who drives the cars like they deserve! So nice hearing you taking it up to redline and using that whole power band.

[Mamo]

If it got 9 mpg I would buy one but since it only gets 7 mpg it's a hard pass.

[FurryWooki]

This and the F12 Berlinetta are possibly my favorite cars on the road today. Instant classics for me. Their design will never be boring and they have amazing engines to strut.

[motormusique]

That V12 almost brought me to tears....it sounds so amazing. Honestly it reminded me of driving the Ferrari 512 in Need for Speed in the 90s lol

My God dude, this is one of the best 812 driving reviews, fantastic roads, fast driving, well done sir

[JDsHouseofHobbies]

I love that it sounds like old school Formula One.

[thelabgeek]

That parade of people in the canyons gave me anxiety.

[QuickTrickTools]

What a gorgeous piece of machinery. I really love the Ferrari models in FR layouts.

[rpin]

That V12 symphony. And what a gear box.

[rohaniyer]

Ferrari, Aston, and Lamborghini are the real MVPs for saving the V12.

[quaidmciver]

Enzo would be impressed. I love front mid-engine V12 Ferrari’s

[atascatorDAOC]

The flyby sound reminds me of and F1 car from the good old days

Me neither Matt, me neither...

The best engine on earth. 789bhp out of a 6.5l na engine? Unheard of. Nothing sounds better than a Ferrari V12.

[ConemantheBarbarian]

Do the engineers who designed that tunnel realize how good the sound quality is? Good job Sirs

[rootsmanuva]

I'm most impressed with how a large, 3, 800 lb car can carve up the canyons so effortlessly. It looks so light on it's feet with excellent weight distribution. Oh and it has like a million horse powers. That too.

[jagpilotohio]

To my ears, One of the best sounding engines ever produced. Sweet, sweet music.

[halfwitt]

What a soulful sound that V12 makes. Evocative of the old F1 cars. I would never tire of that! And sadly, it's a dying breed.

[Levent_Ergun]

What was up with that traffic? never seen it that crowded up there.
