Ferrari is known for making unique sports cars that have plenty of incredible stats behind them, from exceptional horsepower to extraordinary speeds, all matched with a slick appearance. Most of all, Ferrari sports cars almost never go out of style, and the same can be said of the brand's 812 Superfast.
Since the 2021 Superfast, the brand has taken a newer approach to the 812 Superfast line-up. It’s now classier, faster, and more refined. What's more, the aerodynamics on the most recent 812 is like no other model we've seen so far. It also bears a new name: Competizione.
The new-fangled Superfast takes over from the brand’s F12 Berlinetta and comes with a V12 engine that can produce up to 819 HP with ease.
The influx of a newer 812 Superfast model has made it the most-anticipated 2022 Ferrari model, especially following on from its preview. The “Superfast” name alone says a lot about what to expect from this sports car. The stakes are higher, as are expectations, for the next model year of this super GT.
From the ride's upgraded design to its powerful V12 engine, here’s everything we know about the 2022 Ferrari 812 Superfast.
The Competizione’s Exterior Design Complements The Superfast Line-up
The first thing to note about the new 812 Superfast is that it comes in two variants: The 812 Competizione and the 812 Competizione-A, both of which are limited versions of the Superfast.
The 2022 Ferrari Superfast's design not only proves how much effort the brand has put in to make it one unique beast of a sports car, but it also shows us how far Ferrari is willing to go for its dedicated fans.
The exterior is carbon fiber-based, which contributes to a much lighter weight, giving us a much faster 812 Superfast. While the front fascia closely resembles the Berlinetta, the 2022 Ferrari 812 Superfast comes with upgraded door panels and amazing LED headlights. What makes the car even more awesome is the color options. The 2022 Superfast can be ordered in about 25 colors, ranging from Blue Abu Dhabi Metallic to Giallo Modena.
In terms of its dimensions, the 2022 Superfast measures 183.3 inches in length x 77.6 inches in width x 50.2 inches in height. It has a wheelbase of 107.1 inches. Overall, the 2022 Superfast weighs 3,594 lbs.
The 2022 Superfast Has Next-Level Aerodynamics
The upcoming Superfast offers better aerodynamic properties than any of its previous model years. It's taken on the spoiler from its most recent sibling, but this time it’s higher and has been extended to almost cover the entire width of the car along with the rear diffuser.
The Diffuser and the spoiler are two of the most important components in terms of aerodynamism. They both generate as much downforce as possible over the axle.
Ferrari has taken a step further. With the aim of maximizing downforce to improve aerodynamics, the exhaust pipe has been relocated, and three sets of vortex generators have been introduced to deflect air towards the edges of the spoiler.
Its V12 Engine Gives Out A Peak Power Of 819 HP
One of the features that make the new Superfast stand out from its rival has to be the engine. The 2022 Ferrari 812 Superfast has been fitted with a 6.5-liter V12 powertrain. The Superfast's engine can churn out as much as 819 HP (which would translate to about 121 ponies per liter).
This 812 Superfast can accelerate from 0 to 62 MPH in under 3 seconds, and it's capable of hitting a top speed of 211 MPH. With power and speed like this, the Ferrari 812 Superfast is more than equipped to challenge rivals like the McLaren 720S.
It Has An Upgraded Interior
Like most parts of the exterior, the Superfast’s interior has received noteworthy upgrades. First of all, the driver and passenger have a little more headroom and legroom. As you would expect from a highly-anticipated Ferrari sports car, the interior has been padded with high-quality materials that completely boost its appearance.
However, the 2022 Ferrari Superfast doesn’t come with a central infotainment screen as most modern cars do. Instead, it has small screens on each side of the tachometer, which keep you up to date on the vitals. The 812's interior is packed with various buttons, which are spread across the dashboard and steering wheel.
There are many of high-end features that now come standard in the 2022 Ferrari Superfast, such as the garage door opening function, dual-zone automatic climate control, and cruise control.
The Cargo Space Is Pretty Mediocre
Most sports cars come with relatively low cargo space, and the logic behind this is self-explanatory. The last thing you want a sports car to be is bulky as that would take away from the very traits that define it, namely speed, swiftness, and a light weight. Ferrari implements this same strategy in almost every model.
While it has enough legroom for the driver and passenger, the 2022 Ferrari 812 Superfast has a moderate truck storage capacity. In fact, the trunk only fits one large suitcase and some extra luggage at best.
The 812 Competizione Takes On Ultra-sharp Steering And Overall Prominent Handling
Since the previous model year, Ferrari has improved the Superfast’s performance even more. Driving the newer 2022 Superfast will be a unique experience. The new Superfast comes with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission that allows you to take full advantage of throttle responses.
In order to improve the performance further, the brand worked on other crucial factors. First, they equipped the new Superfast with a fresh valve-timing mechanism to go along with its new-fangled exhaust system.
According to the Italian carmaker, the 2022 Ferrari Superfast has been fitted with an independent steering system, which mainly functions as a way to extend the sense of agility and precision on both straight lines and corners. Beyond that, the 2022 Ferrari now has a new rev limit, which ranges from 8,900 rpm to 9,500 rpm.
The 2022 Ferrari 812 Competizione Is Superbly Priced
The 2022 Ferrari 812 Superfast has a starting price of around $350,000. You should also expect to pay an additional $3,750 as a destination charge. With a price like that, it’s pretty unlikely that you’ll spot this sports car on the road often.
Overall, the 2022 Ferrari 812 Superfast is a truly unique model. Clearly, there’s no other brand that can top this stat sheet. The Competizione name is well deserved.
