WHAT is the first thing that comes to one’s mind when they think about the word Flagship? Googlers will know that it’s the ship of a fleet which carries the commanding admiral. It also depicts the best product owned or produced by a particular organization. OnePlus 7 Pro is the flagship of OnePlus. Panigale is the flagship superbike of Ducati. And uhh… xBhp is the flagship lifestyle motorcycling magazine of India… Moving on to the more pressing matters, how about the flagship of a revered brand like Ferrari? The answer to that, had us engulfed in Dubai and showed us how it feels when a 1600+ kg supercar accelerates like a superbike. The answer is, Ferrari 812 Superfast.
Why 8, 1, and 2, and why Superfast? So, the 8, comes from the peak power which is 800cv (cheval vapeur) or roughly 789 bhp. The 12, is the number of cylinders in the engine. And lastly, Superfast because, well… 0-100 km/h in 2.9s, 0-200 in 7.9s, and a top speed of over 340 km/h. No complexities in the name there, just plain-old pride in the engineering marvel that the car is, and well deserved too. The reason is that Ferrari has had flagship V12s for a long time now and every new one is an improvement over the previous but isn’t there a limit to how much you can extract out of a naturally-aspirated V12? Not for Ferrari apparently.
