The world is changing. The cars we drive are changing. Worse, there’s a radical shift in the way supercars of tomorrow are shaping up and in this transitional phase, the Ferrari 812 Superfast could just be the very last of its kind. That means, it could very well be...
It seemed easier to achieve that goal back then. But a decade later, I’d still not been at the wheel of one. This made me promise to myself, the day I finally drove a Ferrari, I shall hang up my boots. Why? Because I doubt there’s anything else that would excite me more than driving a Ferrari. Yes, I can be a bit biased. Love is blind, after all. Okay, things would change if I were to drive a Formula 1 car, but what are the odds of that happening. Obviously someone must’ve leaked my voluntary retirement pact to the Ed, who promptly assigned the upcoming Ferrari drive to me. As it turned out, it wasn’t just any Ferrari drive, it was the 812 Superfast; the maddest, the angriest and the noisiest Ferrari you could get today.
