THE NEW 812SUPERFAST COMBINES THE POWER AND STABILITY OF A MID-FRONT ENGINE V12 COUPE WITH THE AGILITY AND RESPONSIVENESS OF A SHORT WHEELBASE
With its output boosted to 789 Horsepower, 60 more than the F12berlinetta, the new Ferrari 812superfast is one of the most powerful and fastest road-going Ferrari ever built. The 812superfast thus ushers in a new era in Ferrari 12-cylinder history, and, in doing so, builds on the invaluable legacies of the F12berlinetta and F12tdf.
A NEW EVOLUTION OF DRIVING PERFORMANCE
Ferrari's long history of automotive performance innovation and engineering is personified in the 812superfast. To make full use of that huge power and to guarantee perfect weight distribution, the car utilizes a highly-evolved trans-axle architecture that couples a front-mounted engine with a rear-mounted transmission.
A NEW GENERATION OF VEHICLE CONTROL
The 812 Superfast 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 by integrating it with all of the electronic vehicle dynamics controls. based on Version 5.0 of the SSC, with the aim of improving the agility and response time to steering wheel inputs of the 812 Superfast.
The car also sees the introduction of the Virtual Short Wheelbase 2.0 system (PCV) which, starting from the experience gained with the F12tdf, combines electric front-wheel steering assistance with the mechanical concept built around tire dimensions and the rear-wheel steering. All are 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 of the 812 Superfast.
NEXT GENERATION OF FERRARI V12 ENGINES
To make the 812 Superfast exceed the F12berlinetta's V12 in power delivery, Ferrari was focused in optimizing the intake system and combustion efficiency to fully exploit the increase in the engine's displacement from 6.2 to 6.5 liters. These aspects increased the maximum amount of air that could be drawn into the engine (and thus its power output) thereby boosting its efficiency.
Maximum torque is 530 lb/ft @ 7,000 rpm
The development process resulted in a maximum power output of 789 hp at 8,500 rpm, a new benchmark for the Ferrari range, in addition to a specific power output of 121 hp/l, a completely unprecedented figure for an engine front-mounted in a production car.
EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH AERODYNAMIC EFFICIENCY
The 812 Superfast's aerodynamic design is part of Ferrari's ongoing commitment to continually improving performance with each new model, both in terms of speed and augmented vehicle dynamics for a more exhilarating driving experience.
The development guidelines aimed to achieve exceptionally high aerodynamic efficiency figures through boosting of the downforce that influences a car's stability without increasing drag, as the latter would negatively impact fuel consumption and maximum speed.
The aerodynamic coefficient values delivered by the 812 Superfast are a significant improvement on those of the F12berlinetta. Mobile aero solutions, whether mechanically activated (active mobile aerodynamics) or activated by the pressure of the air itself (passive mobile aerodynamics), guarantee very low drag values.
To the side of the air intakes for engine and brake cooling, is a turning vane on the front bumper which is designed to channel air flows striking the front of car to ensure they hug its flanks, thereby reducing the width of the car's wake. This in turn appreciably reduces overall drag. A spoiler on tail of the car generates rear downforce.
Three pairs of curved dams were adopted on the underbody and are responsible for 30% of the increase in downforce compared to the F12berlinetta, as already achieved on the special series F12tdf.
POWER AND AGGRESSION
Designed by the Ferrari Styling Centre, the new 812superfast redefines the formal language of front-engine V12 Ferrari proportions without altering either its exterior dimensions or interior space and comfort. Seen in silhouette, the 812superfast has a fastback sleekness: a two-box design with a high tail reminiscent of the glorious 365 GTB4 (Daytona) of 1969, visually lowering an aggressive rear spoiler designed to guarantee down-force.
The draped design of the flanks visually shortens the tail and is characterized by sharply slanted crease lines and impressively muscular wheel arches that imbue the 812superfast with the power and aggression
