Imagine this: It’s just past noon, and the California sun is high and unrelenting, all eyes turn as the unmistakable sound of a V12 engine roars down the street. you’re pulling up to Pebble Beach Concours D’Elegance, one of the most prestigious car shows in the world. To some it’s just another Saturday, in this case it’s a day reserved for legends and you, are arriving not as a spectator, but as a showstopper. The moment you pull into the event, the crowd parts. Heads turn. Cameras click. A wave of admiration follows you as the Ferrari 812 Superfast, painted in Rosso Corsa (the iconic Ferrari red.) The color being so bold, intense, and alive. With all of the Ferrari’s that have come and gone, Rosso Corsa reflects a special history of speed, power, and beauty. It catches the morning light and throws it back like fire on metal. The V12 growls as you ease into your spot among the finest machines ever made, but even in a sea of excellence, the 812 stands alone. People stop stare and take pictures because when you drive something like this, you’re making a statement. You’ve earned your place here. The big picture that you want other people to realize, is you’ve turned yourself into somebody worthy of being here through action.

The Ferrari 812 Superfast was sculpted to express brand identity, to evoke emotion and to immortalize the dream of freedom that speed brings. Introduced in 2017 at the Geneva International Motor Show, the 812 was Ferrari’s spiritual successor to the F12berlinetta. It marked the pinnacle of front-engined, naturally aspirated V12 power, a dying breed in the modern era of turbochargers and electric assistance.

At its heart is a 6.5-liter V12 engine, producing a staggering 789 horsepower and 530 lb-ft of torque. This marvel of engineering has a 0 to 60 speed of just 2.8 seconds. With a top speed of 211 mph, the 812 Superfast really lives up to its name. Weighing in at around 3,845 pounds (1,744 kg), this is a machine that blends raw power with balance, thanks to its advanced aerodynamics and rear-wheel steering system.

When it first hit the market, the 812 Superfast commanded a price tag starting at around $335,000. Today, depending on condition, mileage, and optional specs, that figure can range from $400,000 to over $500,000 for low-mileage or collector-grade examples. The 812 also comes in a few tantalizing variants. The 812 GTS, released in 2019, brought open-air freedom to the equation. It was the first front-engine V12 Ferrari convertible in decades. Then came the 812 Competizione and Competizione A, track-focused evolutions that pushed the performance envelope even further with aerodynamic enhancements, lightweight materials, and more aggressive tuning.

The moment you grip that flat-bottomed steering wheel, you’re reminded: excellence It’s earned. Every line of the 812’s bodywork whispers a legacy of racing triumphs and engineering brilliance, built by those who refused to compromise. This is a car for those who chose to defy gravity in their lives, who built businesses, chased dreams, took risks. The Ferrari 812 Superfast doesn’t just ask for your ambition….it demands it because greatness isn’t something you admire from afar. It’s something you drive. For anyone aspiring for more out of life, I’m watching from afar, and I’m rooting for you!
