2021 Ferrari 812 GTS: Best Front-Engined Ferrari Ever? - Two Takes

[@TheSmokingTire]

Would you buy an F8 with all the options or a base 812 GTS?

[@intergalacticsucker1724]

V12 will it be...

[@calebloewen]

812 hands down!

[@matthewgloberman3682]

These days if you are looking to get a Ferrari and you don’t get a V12 you are blowing it IMO.

[@gcscr]

812 of course. V12 goodness all day.

With a sound like that, I don’t blame them. Not necessarily the loudest car ever, but in terms of tone and the sound itself, one of the best I’ve ever heard. Absolutely glorious. Imagine driving that at 9000 rpm, and to think the GTO will rev to 10,000

This video was immense, I’ve always thought the 812 was uglier than the F12 but this completely sells it. What a noise, great editing on this one too! The DBS is way more a GT car and it’s a shame it’s muted by turbo’s but even without it wouldn’t sound like that monster!

5:40 The INTAKE NOISE is unbeatable. Exhaust is pure Ferrari scream, but the intake on the approach in this shot is what the V12 is all about!

The "250" generation Ferrari engines are 3000cc.. 250cc for each cylinder, multiplied by 12...

[@devandrasimanjuntak1646]

In the age of Influencers and IG, exotic cars had lost a considerable bit of their allure for me. I haven't found myself lusting for one the way I did as a kid for quite some time, until the 812.

Former Ferrari COO, Amadeo Felissa once said that all other Ferrari Engines are Great, but it is the V12 Ferrari Engines that power the Greatest Ferraris in History, hence the 6.3 V12 in the Ferrari FF was a new expansion of the V12 Family, from which a lot was expected, and he was right, given the fact that this incredible 6.5i V12 was developed from that 6.3i V12 that served in the FF, the F12 and the La Ferrari.
