The Ferrari 812 Superfast officially made its debut in Philippines yesterday, April 11, 2018, one year since its International Premiere at the Geneva International Motor Show. The model opens a new chapter in Ferrari V12 engine history and marks the 70th anniversary since Ferrari released its first Cavallino Rampante sports car — the 125 S — in 1947.
The 812 Superfast, the vehicle that ushers in a new era in Ferrari 12-cylinder history, has been developed for clients demanding the most powerful and exclusive Ferrari in the lineup: an all-round sports car that will deliver overwhelming driving pleasure both on road and track and not compromise on comfort whatever condition it may face. Powered by a new 6.5-litre V12 engine that unleashes 800 cv, this model achieves a maximum power output at 8,500 rpm. These figures make the 812 Superfast the new benchmark for front mid-engine sports cars.
The engine’s power is underscored by a full, rich exhaust sound that exploits the acoustic clout delivered by its increased displacement. The maximum torque is 718 NM at 7,000 rpm, thus improving drivability and pick-up even at low revs.
“The challenge that Ferrari always faces in developing new models is to push the boundaries of its own achievement,” says Autostrada chairman Wellington Soong. “After intensive research and development, this is what they achieved with the 812 Superfast – the fastest and most powerful 12-cylinder engine in the 70-year history of Ferrari.”
This model is also the first Ferrari to adopt an Electric Power Steering and the Virtual Short Wheelbase 2.0 system, which combines electric front-wheel steering assistance with the mechanical concept built around tire dimensions and the rear-wheel steering. These systems are integrated with the vehicle dynamics control system based on the latest 5.0 version of Side Slip Control that improves car handling and reduces the vehicle response times.
All these improvements are housed in a sporty design that features a horizontal dash that loops around the central air vents and a sculptured body.
