Full description
The 812 Superfast's engine is, as of 2018, the most powerful naturally aspirated production car engine ever made according to the manufacturer.
The first and most difficult challenge Ferrari always faces when it decides to develop a new model is to push, yet again, the boundaries of its own achievements. This challenge is made all the tougher when the task at hand involves designing a new 12-cylinder engine, the power unit that hailed the start of the glorious Prancing Horse story 70 years ago. With this occasion, intensive research and development procedures were focused on exploiting Ferrari’s strong past experience and engineering know-how to produce the 812 Superfast. It was designed to offer its drivers both benchmark performance across the board.
With its output boosted to 800 HP, 60 more than the F12 Berlinetta, the 812 Superfast is the most powerful and fastest road-going Ferrari ever built. The 812 Superfast thus ushers in a new era in Ferrari 12-cylinder history, and, in doing so, builds on the invaluable legacies of the F12 Berlinetta and F12 tdf. To make full use of that huge power and to guarantee perfect weight distribution, the car exploits a highly evolved transaxle architecture that couples a front-mounted engine with a rear-mounted transmission.
Ferrari claims that the 812 Superfast has a top speed of 340 km/h with a 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 2.9 seconds. The car has a power to weight ratio of 2.18 kg per horsepower, and a the weight distribution is 47% front, 53% rear. The 812 Superfast is the first Ferrari equipped with EPS (Electronic Power Steering) and it also shares the rear-wheel-steering system (Virtual Short Wheelbase 2.0) borrowed from the limited edition F12tdf. The car has recorded a lap time of 1:21:50 around the Fiorano racetrack, 0.50 seconds behind the more track-focused F12tdf.
The 812 Superfast has 20-inch wheels at the front and the rear. The tyres are Pirelli P Zero with codes of 275/35 ZR 20 for the front tires and 315/35 ZR 20 for the rear. The brakes are carbon-ceramic Brembo Extreme Design disc brakes, which Ferrari claims have 5.8% improved braking performance from 100 km/h to 0 km/h as compared to the F12berlinetta. The brakes are borrowed from the LaFerrari, with a diameter of 398 mm at the front and 360 mm at the rear.
This car has covered 78 kilometers.
