2021 | 400-Mile Ferrari 812 GTS

Introduction to the 812 GTS
The 812 GTS made its debut in 2021, 50 years after the last regular series production front engine V12 convertible Ferrari made its debut.  That car was the 365/GTS Daytona Spider.  Its spiritual successor is based on the 812 SuperFast coupe; the 812 GTS is a convertible version of the 812 Superfast, and is the first regular series front engine V12 convertible Ferrari after the Daytona Spider. It joins illustrious previous models with the same design architecture such as the 250 short wheelbase California, 275 GTS, and 330 GTS, among others. Unlike its predecessors, the GTS utilizes a folding power hard top that can be raised and lowered in less than 14 seconds. The roof only adds 162lbs over its coupe sibling, but the true beauty of this roof is a window behind the seats that can be lowered while the roof is up, bringing you closer to the glorious sound of the 789hp 6.5L V12 that powers the car, while still being able to keep the roof up. The engine is coupled to a 7-speed tight ratio dual clutch gearbox, built by Getrag, which has 6% shorter gear ratios than in the previous model; thus making the car even punchier, and more eager.  

 

The 812 GTS was the most rigid front engine convertible V12 Ferrari to date. The floor, specific to the GTS, is stiffened to combat chassis Flex, and a new welding technique was used in the floor and body of the car.  Subsequently, the chassis is 35% stiffer than that of the 575 Superamerica, its most recent predecessor. The 6.5L V12 powering the 812 GTS is carried over from the 812 Superfast. The engine which boasts a massive compression ratio of 13.5:1, and an 8900 rpm redline, is the last of a truly amazing dynasty. Its competitors from Lamborghini (the Revuelto) and Aston Martin (the Vanquish) use hybridization and turbos respectively while the GTS uses neither; it is purely a naturally aspirated V12. This engine, introduced in the Enzo (as a 6.0 liter variant), named tipo F140B, has gone through multiple iterations. It is designated F140GA in the 812 GTS, modified yet again, it is still in production in the Ferrari 812 Competizione and 812 Competizione A.

 

Benefiting from virtual wheelbase 2.0 (Ferraris name for their rear wheel steering system), the system was further tweaked from the 812 Superfast coupe, to make it even more refined and integrated into the chassis Dynamics. A further development of side slip control dubbed SSC 3.0 is integrated into the car as well which it shares with the 812 Superfast. 

 

This Example 
This car, VIN ZFF97CMA1M0267906, delivered new in 2021, is a one owner car from new, presented in the classic Ferrari combination of Rosso Corsa paint with a tan leather interior. The car is well optioned - options include the full carbon fiber drivers zone, front and rear parking cameras, and the front suspension lifter. A true lifesaver when it comes to steep angle driveways.

The car retains all of the original books, keys, car cover, tools, battery tender and records, plus the remainder of its complimentary official Ferrari 7 year maintenance program which began in 2021 when the car was delivered. The car has been driven just 406 miles, and although it was serviced less than 30 miles ago, it needs its annual service completed due to the time elapsed from its last service.

 

Why to buy 
The 812 GTS is the last series production Ferrari without capacitive touch buttons, and the last Ferrari to use the truly robust Getrag 7-speed dual clutch gearbox. The 812 GTS is an amazing nexus of ideas that make Ferrari great: a sonorous, buttery smooth V12; a tightly geared dual clutch transmission; a capable chassis; a powered folding hardtop; and drop dead gorgeous styling.  It brings together the fantastic driving dynamics, beautiful sound, and great engineering of the 812 superfast with the ability to drop the roof. This particular example is an amazing low mileage specimen that needs to be driven and enjoyed by a new owner.
