Chris Harris Drives The Ferrari 812 Competizione

[@hotblackdesiato3451]

I like how Chris is able to use wheel spin to turn the speedo into a random number generator.

I know aye

[@yjkader]

I had a car that did that, not sure why certain manufacturers choose to read wheel speed from the rear wheel sensors rather than the front ones. I guess the engineers assume we’d like to know the wheel speed when drifting! 👍

In 20 years it will be worth millions as the last N/A V12 beast... Lucky who bought it!

[@Thorocious]

I was just thinking, as much as i'm looking forward to seeing what the electric world is going to offer us. I'm really really going to miss these types of cars.

[@BrandoDrum]

I'm not worried, cars like this will always exist because people want them and synthetic fuels will come about to keep them compliant. The rich and folks willing to pay can enjoy them. Heck I wouldn't be surprised if synthetic fuel becomes available for classic cars. Maybe 100 bucks a fill but it will happen

Anybody who keeps hyping up a 9 second Tesla being better than a supercar, point them to this video. Cars are more than straight line only numbers. The experience to make someone like Chris Harris, whom has driven crazy amounts of supercars, to have a reaction like this is mesmerizing.

[@josipristic]

To the point mate! Sure, electric cars have insane acceleration, but that's just about it. Cars like this 812, and all around experience that driving them brings to a driver, that can't be compared to electric cars. Shouldn't even be in the same sentence, if you ask me ;)

[@TheShamiester]

When a British motor journalist says “What a machine “ You know damn well it’s awesome.

[@nistock]

Some years ago I was very fortunate to be given a present of a 2 day driving experience at Fiorano. I drove many laps in 430s and 599s. The 430s were quick but the 599s were in a different league. The 599 had a V12 engine with 620 bhp and was brutally fast. I can hardly conceive what a 830 bhp V12 is capable of. I was asked what speed I had reached on the straight in the 599. I replied truthfully that I did not know as my full concentration was getting the braking correct for the right hander at the end of the straight and I never looked down at the speedo!

[@marcelk3847]

But in fact the 599 isnt really fast. It only feels fast

[@nistock]

@@marcelk3847 . According to the stats, it’s 0-60 mph figure is 3.2 seconds. In 2007, when I drove it at Fiorano, it was fast enough for me!

It’s interesting coz I own both 599 (Alonso edition) and F430 and F430 feels a lot faster than 599 to me

[@TG-zf1wm]

What an incredible car Ferrari has made again, the sound, the speed, the drama and the way it drives and slide it’s just insane🤯🔥🔥 i was waiting for chris to drive this crazy 812. I love it. He is the best

Not denying ots a great car , like the rest of their current line up . Personally I don't like any of the current ones .

[@eichler721]

Ferrari makes the best fun GT cars. The V12 GT series is amazing. From 599 to F12 to 812 and all the track specials in between its just so good sounding, comfortable and fun to drive.

[@benw2270]

PLEASE MORE CHRIS HARRIS VIDEOS LIKE THIS!!!!!! I miss the Chris Harris on Cars days, Top Gear stuff is good too but... Chris Harris like this is brilliant

[@CITRUS--]

Honestly I’m lowkey fuming. I hate Chris on top gear (too engineered and directed), I miss the CHOC days. And I like Collecting Cars podcast and some of their vids here. But I hate that I never know where to go to watch him drive the latest and greatest cars.

[@budja1501]

I'm still in denial about the engine- it's not only a V12 but it's also 6 litres, it revs to 9 and a half, and it's naturally aspirated?? firstly, AMAZING, second, how in the hell that got past emissions i have no idea

[@aghowrath]

[@mogsyman]

I was asked to drive one to Goodwood from my friend’s house for one of the track days he organises (those who know, know) and it was absolutely fabulous to drive. I left it in wet mode but used the paddles and treated it with respect but by god was it still one hell of a machine. That V12 is a work of art and the noise is possibly as good as any engine gets, it just makes you nervous yet smile. What’s an experience I had, they won’t make cars like this for very long and being trusted with the keys was very special.

[@nik7bkh965]

@@Dathumm I agree with you on the last one. Models like the 911 GT3 or 718 GT4 are great cars. But everything else? I dont know man... The Macan is a disgrace to the Porsche Heritage, just like the Cayenne (which at least is a bit luxurious and doesn't use Tiguan engines and parts and comes with a V8). I just dont get it that the entrance 718 models now have a 4 banger in them. The old ones sounded so good and werent that much slower, surely they couldve given the 718 S an upgrade NA 6 cylinder engine with similar specs but they chose the generic option of a 4 banger. Also the new 911s sound like Vacuum cleaners which is also a shame considering how decently they perform (992 turbo s).
