{"key":"ferrari-812-superfast","blocks":[{"section":"intro","body":"The 812 replaced the F12 and made the case for the front-engined V12 one more time before hybridisation took the format. 789 horsepower from 6.5 litres, no turbochargers anywhere, and a flat-plane crank that lets it rev to 8,500. It is a grand tourer rather than a track car, which is the correct specification for a coast road measured in hours rather than laps."},{"section":"setting","heading":"The Roads","body":"Delivery is to your hotel in Monaco or Saint-Tropez. The Monaco Grand Prix circuit is at the door and the Grande Corniche is about ten minutes away, climbing above the coast with the sightlines that make the road famous. Saint-Tropez is the ninety-minute run west, which is the distance the 812 is happiest at: long, open and fast."},{"section":"interiors","heading":"The Cockpit","body":"Two seats in a sport interior with premium sound, and enough boot space for an overnight bag rather than a holiday.

It was the first Ferrari road car with electric power steering, running a variable ratio, and its Side Slip Control reads yaw angle five times faster than the F12 did. Zero to sixty in 2.8 seconds."},{"section":"logistics","heading":"Delivery and Terms","body":"Delivered to your hotel in Monaco or Saint-Tropez. This is a self-drive booking: chauffeur service is not offered on this vehicle. A one-day minimum applies and rates run from a published daily figure. Two seats and an overnight bag is the honest capacity, so airport legs for a group need a second vehicle."},{"section":"ideal-for","heading":"Best For","body":null,"bullets":["Long Riviera coast runs, a grand tourer rather than a track car","Collectors wanting the format before the hybrid era","Editorial and commercial shoots","Occasions that deserve a naturally aspirated V12"]}]}
