The 2020 Ferrari 812 Superfast, especially when enhanced by the marque’s exclusive Tailor Made program, represents the zenith of front-engined V12 grand touring performance. Powering this automotive icon is a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter F140 GA V12 engine, a masterpiece of engineering that delivers an exhilarating 800 HP at a soaring 8,500 rpm. This potent engine generates 718 Nm (73.2 kgf·m) of torque at 7,000 rpm, with an impressive 80% available from just 3,500 rpm, ensuring breathtaking responsiveness across the entire rev range. Mated to a Formula 1-derived 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, power is channeled exclusively to the rear wheels. The 812 Superfast achieves a blistering 0–100 km/h (0–60 mph) acceleration in a mere 2.9 seconds, with a top speed of 340 km/h (211 mph). Its dry weight is approximately 1,525 kg (3,362 lbs), a testament to Ferrari’s meticulous attention to lightweight design.
Within the supercar segment, the 812 Superfast distinguishes itself through its harmonious blend of raw power and sophisticated handling. It is the first Ferrari to feature Electric Power Steering (EPS), meticulously integrated with Ferrari’s array of vehicle dynamics control systems, including the sophisticated Virtual Short Wheelbase 2.0 system (PCV) – a second-generation rear-wheel steering system. These technologies work in concert to enhance agility and responsiveness, making the car feel remarkably nimble despite its substantial power output. Aerodynamic efficiency is paramount, with active aero solutions such as active rear diffusers and frontal air intakes that adjust to optimize downforce and reduce drag, ensuring stability and performance at extreme speeds. The car’s design, penned by the Ferrari Styling Centre, is a bold evolution of the F12berlinetta, featuring muscular wheel arches and a striking fastback silhouette that pays homage to classic V12 Ferraris like the 365 GTB4
The interior of a Tailor Made 812 Superfast is a bespoke sanctuary, crafted to the individual desires of its discerning owner. While the standard 812 Superfast already offers a luxurious and driver-focused cabin, the Tailor Made program elevates personalization to an unparalleled level. Materials can range from traditional Ferrari leathers and Alcantara to innovative options such as technical fabrics, carbon fiber, or even vintage-inspired textiles. The seating, often featuring ergonomically designed carbon fiber racing seats or more comfort-oriented configurations, is upholstered with exquisite attention to detail, including unique stitching patterns or embroidered motifs. The infotainment system, centered around an 8.0-inch display, provides essential connectivity and vehicle data, complemented by digital instrument clusters and satellite pods that place critical controls within the driver’s immediate reach, reinforcing the driver-centric philosophy.
The 2020 Ferrari 812 Superfast holds a significant place in Ferrari’s illustrious history as one of the last naturally aspirated V12 grand tourers, before the advent of hybrid powertrains became more prevalent. The “Tailor Made” designation elevates this particular vehicle beyond standard production, signifying a completely customized specification meticulously curated by the client in collaboration with Ferrari’s design experts at Maranello. This program draws inspiration from three core collections—Scuderia, Classica, and Inedita—allowing for an unprecedented degree of individual expression, from unique paint finishes and interior trims to bespoke materials and personalized details. Owning a Tailor Made 812 Superfast is not merely acquiring a car; it is possessing a unique, hand-crafted automotive artwork, a testament to personal taste and a future collectible that celebrates the pinnacle of Maranello’s V12 legacy.
