812 Superfast

Potential value drivers

• • Ferrari launched the 812 Superfast as its series-production front-V12 berlinetta/flagship, not as a numbered limited edition. No authoritative total production count was recovered
• • exact production rarity remains UNRESOLVED.
• • Regular series model rather than a fixed-count Special Series car
• • Ferrari’s launch material presents it as the successor in the F12/F12tdf-derived front-V12 line, while limited derivatives were separate models.
• • Ferrari’s 2017 front-engined V12 flagship, explicitly building on the F12berlinetta and F12tdf and introduced as the most powerful and fastest Ferrari in the marque’s series range at launch.
• • New 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 producing 800 cv
• • 350-bar direct injection was used for the first time on a high-performance engine, together with first-Ferrari EPS, SSC 5.0 and Virtual Short Wheelbase 2.0.
• • Ferrari described the 812 as ushering in a new era in its 12-cylinder history
• • it combined the marque’s 70-year V12 lineage with first-Ferrari EPS and the second generation of the F12tdf rear-steer concept.

Risk factors

• • Auction documentation highlights mileage, factory options, Tailor Made provenance, original order documentation and continuous service history. Bespoke factory specification can materially separate one 812 from another despite the model not being fixed-count.
• • Primary collector risks are weak service/document history, unclear accident/paint history, non-factory modifications and mis-pricing bespoke/high-option cars against ordinary examples. No model-wide mechanical defect was established from prioritized sources and none is asserted.
