Ferrari 812 Superfast review | New 800hp supercar tested | Autocar

The headlines? Well, that it has 800hp (789bhp) is the biggie, but there's vastly more to this new V12 coupe than just a power increase. It also gets active rear steering, electrically assisted power steering (a first for Ferrari) and latest generation side slip control.

We get behind the wheel of the 812 Superfast, both at Ferrari's Fiorano test track and on the road in the hills around Maranello.

Haven't we learned yet? Don't judge a Ferrari's looks until it's been out for at least a year.

[JohnnyWrong]

Glad Ferrari are re-introducing quad tail lights.

[Nelson]

Nothing can beat the good old Pininfarina design

[MrStefano]

99% of comments are about the design... nobody is interested about the review or technical aspects

[MrStefano]

gorgeous car, and the engine is a masterpiece...
love the new design

[BryanMartinez-zlfz]

I never clicked on a video this SuperFast!

[bicyclist]

This is the first review I've seen anyone do of the 812 superfast. And the first one that I've seen on youtube. Thanks.

I don't get all the hate on the design

I admit the back of the F12 does look better with the single big round taillights, that's Ferrari's identity, although this isn't that bad either.

But IMO, the front is freaking gorgeous. It looks mean, angry and well put together, better than the F12's to be honest. I don't know why anyone would think otherwise.

never thought id love this more than the f12 but i think i do

Followed by the Ferrari SuperDuper, the Ferrari Youcannotaafforda, The Ferrari Bigreddick and finaly Ferrari Fuckitall. They've lost their minds. But that motor!

[naxT]

Cant wait for Mclaren mega fast and Porsche super duper fast.
But i am going to be disappointed with Lamborghini hyperfast

[JoeAchilles]

Brilliant review guys, what a car! One of these over a 720S everyday of the week

[callisto]

Respect to Ferrari for blowing everyone's mind year after year. It's an improved tdf!! Crazy.

[Sarov]

That semi pink red paint looks absolutely stunning

What is that little white dot that moves?

[SageConnel]

I've never been so bored with a Ferrari video

[mzk]

I really love the 812...one day I will own one. great video!!

[HGX]

Still think the F12 was prettier, the rear just doesn't work with the front of the car. Otherwise think its the car to buy atm.

[HH-phgq]

I still dont like the Design. I dont think its as timeless as the F12's

[HedserWijbenga]

Alright thats it, I am going to work my ass off the next few years and buy it.
