Ferrari 812 Super Fast
Auto Express|April 04, 2018

FIRST UK DRIVE We see if supercar stunner lives up to the name on British tarmac.

Jonathan Burn
Ferrari 812 Super Fast

EVERYTHING about the Ferrari 812 Superfast is exceptional. The price is a stratospheric £262,963. The engine, a 6.5-litre V12 churning out 789bhp, is the most powerful naturally aspirated motor ever to find its way under the nose of a production car. And the name, 812 Superfast, is a bold but fitting title for one of the most exhilarating performance cars money can buy.

Following our first drive in the idyllic surroundings of the Italian hills last year (Issue 1,478), we’re now bringing the 812 into the real world and on to the damp, rutted and congested roads of the UK to see if its appeal can be stifled.
