Ferrari 812 GTS Road Test with Tiff Needell

If you enjoy the video then please help us and hit that like button!
Tiff Needell takes this Ferrari, arguably the best ever open top V12 car, on a trip through the countryside in search of a famous pub landlord in the beautiful village of Swallowcliffe.
The Ferrari 812 GTS certainly has all of the right ingredients, which include an incredible 6.5l Naturally Aspirated V12 producing 800hp. Revs up to an ear shattering 8,900 revs, has a seven speed twin clutch gearbox, 0-62 under three seconds, top speed over 200mph!
The ultimate open top cruiser? The best convertible you can buy for £300k? It certainly sounds better than a Tesla. As always please let us know your thoughts on the comments.

You should have come around to the house for a cup o’ char. I’d have let you drive my beach buggy.

[@lovecarsTV]

Next time we'll take you up on that!

@James May Hello

[@Danis8Pastry]

@@lovecarsTV What is the name of the soundtrack from 4:53 to 5:10 ? It's beautiful

[@sparky4878]

Did Tiff go inside? I remember those long gone days of drinking inside a pub. Not long until we can do it again.

[@adamgarth9046]

@@Danis8Pastry I was shocked to hear and recognise it! It sounds like an instrumental version of Cody Fry's "Photograph" :)

[@isftish]

Tiff is still the best when it comes to reviewing cars. He has this storytelling ability, that gives you the technical details, with practical real world information, blending with the emotional experience, with a dash of humour. And he has been this way since top gear in the 80s. Unbeatable delivery.

[@eriknaamot]

Fully agree! Just a joy to watch! :)

[@fusta6208]

Big facts

[@johntechwriter]

@BileMonkey Tiff has mellowed like a vintage brandy: A little bite at first sip, then some complexity, followed by a smooth finish.

[@comfycomfy765]

It’s just his annoying voice

[@johnmitchell2269]

Almost every journalist: _I won't be going into ESC off as it's not my car and the roads are a little damp_ Tiff: _I don't need or want any of this assistance nonsense, ESC off_

[@drwatsonca6945]

The difference is the other journalists don't have his driving experience.

[@souravmmishra]

I think Chris Harris always switches off the ESC?

[@Carsaddiction]

Tiff is a guy who can make the Stig run for his money.

[@IMTHEBIGGESTCUNT]

My car has ESC off, but it says in the manual that you’re only supposed to use it in snowy conditions? 😂

[@Unimatrix69]

@BileMonkey And then Captain Slow

[@johngilchrist2852]

Still dumbfounded that fifth gear let him go, I’ll watch Tiff do anything. Bravo Sir.

[@kronkite1530]

The idiocracy of know it all yoof producers. Cretins.

Hang on a minute? Tiff is off 5th? Did I miss something?

[@2ZZGE100]

Tiff is the best!

[@gregdangio4048]

100%

[@neuromatico]

There's Tiff and then there's the rest. Bravo!

[@andysedgley]

There's Ferrari cars, and then there's V12 Ferraris.

[@390fe451]

These are the cars we will miss once everything goes electric. What a dream machine!

[@lovecarsTV]

You're right, there! 😔

[@Jferrari427]

Sad truth. Save your pennies and buy one or two before it’s too late …

[@hunterhighrance6006]

I'm still hoping that maybe synthetic fuels can save us lol

[@planespeaking]

@@hunterhighrance6006 Snake oil fuel? If you burn something it has emissions. Plain and simplie.

[@planespeaking]

No they won't

[@praddzzz]

Been watching Tiff since my childhood days when he was on Top Gear. Never disappoints. This 812 GTS is a sweet car to have. If you wanted a convertible V12 before. It was always crazy priced special models until this. And that ending with James Mays pub 🔥🔥🔥

[@sebastianaguilar6526]

I love the enthusiasm and sympathy of Tiff really loves and enjoys his work and has the ability to transmit it !! Bravo!!!!!😀😀😀 thx!!!!!

[@drewparker7015]

Great to see James May's pub at the end. Can't wait to get there myself for a pint.

[@MrMarkusmonkey]

A near 9000rpm v12 with Tiff behind the wheel.perfect Sunday entertainment!

[@lovecarsTV]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Namburiadityasairam2605]

The stop at James Mays pub was funny 😂

[@patrickrodriguez8797]

Subbing for Tiff. I loved watching him on Fifth Gear back then

[@lovecarsTV]

Thank you!

[@visionist7]

I subbed for Tiff too

[@Carsaddiction]

Tiff Needell has always been one of my favorite on-screen journalists, I still remember him power sliding that E39 M5 from the 90s Top Gear.

[@77CJJ]

...and that Silver Ford Puma he absolutely ragged the shit out of with Jeremy and Quentin riding shotgun in 1997! Great car control.

[@GPTVIBHU]

Those old school Top Gear days of Till and Clarkson. What a riot ! Also a nod to Tiff & Jason. What a duo they were.

[@sergiosaunier]

I remember that too! More than twenty years ago, it still left a remarkable impression!

[@kronkite1530]

Or his bus man’s holiday playtime with a Lotus Sunbeam!

[@sergiosaunier]

Just a small correction: it’s Needell, not Needle!

[@GiuseppeSchiavoni]

With the kind participation of mr. James May 😁

[@Jferrari427]

Superb video by the way, more of these please!!! Puts a smile on my face to see, hear and feel the appreciation for these cars!

[@lovecarsTV]

More to come!

[@billwrinkle9662]

Every car reviewer for the last 15 years: This may be the last normally-aspirated V12 you can get!

[@sv3351]

This is one of the greatest car channels with minimal views. Somethings wrong

[@lovecarsTV]

More videos to come!

[@blissmd]

Definitely the greatest YT car channel. No nonsense. Just passion for cars.

[@jamesedwards809]

Tiff is the only person you should ever listen to on the subject of cars. A true driver with genuine passion and knowledge.

[@lovecarsTV]

Glad you think so!

[@Gairsy08]

Wow that engine is insane, the 812 looks fab in that dark blue. Great review, Tiff is a legend.

[@stephenswift9868]

I bet car companies like Ferrari, Porsche etc like Tiff reviewing their cars. He was a inherent understanding of what a car can do and how to put it across to the viewer.

[@Tracertme]

the no.1 driver in a no.1 car...... luv tiff reviews.

[@lovecarsTV]

The number one driver with the Covid haircut! 🤣

[@GPTVIBHU]

As soon as he put the roof down and flipped the switch, good gold memories of Tiff thrashing the 430 scuderia and the 430 spider came gushing back and ooh the smile on my face. Any of my mates here remembers ? Aah the nostalgia thank you, Thank you "O Tiffo Tiff " & those balls of steel at 6:23 😅 All the love and wishes to all from India.

[@lmjc2007]

Thank you Tiff for joining KZbin, much to the amusement of your fans. Your passion for cars really shines through the screen

[@veitkoss2603]

What a wonderful eloquent, elegant and polite chap building one unit with this masculine sculpture of a car. Two legends combined.

[@officialHarryW]

Needell - Harris - Clarkson. The trio we all really want to see one day

[@aerorobnz]

All Ferraris should be blue. Tiff is still the boss when it comes to car reviews and racing pedigree. A class act. When I want to really know a car rather than receive a sales pitch I look for Tiff Needell and Harry Metcalfe reviews.

[@weejim48]

Tiff Needell is probably the best car reviewer ever. He has never lost his passion for motoring & not only quotes the figures but he can drive the ass off any car he sits in. 👍👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@blitzkrieg9414]

Legend. Been watching Tiff since his E46 M3 review in 2000.

[@Usengwayo]

I always find myself coming back to this car review. Everything about it is amazing, the car, the specifications the host, the scenery and the overall ambience and mood is breath taking. Andile from South Africa

[@altakespictures]

im so happy to see so many comments from likeminded people with regards to just how great Tiff is as a car presenter and reviewer. From the early days of topgear I have always been a huge fan. Really happy this page just came up in my suggestions. :)

[@Bigbry8888]

There's nothing better than Tiff smiling and waxing lyrically over a great car.

[@etherjoe505]

Tiff Needell is my favorite. He seems just genuinely happy and enthusiastic all the time.

[@davidknight4874]

Best car video and driver commentary ever made!

[@bazinga5342]

A legend in his lifetime. Thank you Tiff.

Tiff is the best presenter out there.. This channel is great only because of him

[@reggie861]

Since I have been working and staying at home more because of Covid, I watch KZbin more and your channel is one of my favorite discoveries I look forward to seeing your videos every Sunday afternoon, keep up the good work guys.

[@seanhirst1482]

Oh Tiff you truly are the best. And cars are changing, not in the direction that I will ever understand I don’t think. One of my friends had never heard of you or watched your videos. I almost clocked him for it. He has now seen at least a few!

[@bganesh316]

With ESP off, its totally a different beast, love Tiff enjoying the drive

[@vaishak007acharya]

Classic Tiff and Love Car. Cheers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely gorgeous V12 masterpiece. The 812 is my favorite Ferrari from the current Ferrari line up.

[@paulthomson9014]

[@lovecarsTV]

Good to hear! 👍

[@ss8ss8ss8]

Tiff always been and still my fvt presenter for cars

[@andrewsingh]

6 mins 25 seconds, this is why Tiff will always be a national treasure!

[@gadjules7334]

Tiff is just a legend - he combines driving ability and presenting ability that appeals to those of us who don't want someone shouting or screaming at us or pottering around central London at 20mph. Tiff, Harry Metcalfe, and Chris Harris (when doing his own thing, outside of Top Gear scripting) are the gold standard imo of car reviewers on screen, whether that be TV or KZbin. The Fifth Gear management really must have been smoking something when they thought letting Tiff go was a good move.

[@blissmd]

Tiff is the best. Period. ❤️

[@targaflorio3239]

That music and those images from 8:25 onwards ... just beautiful. Wondeful review and car

[@paultaylor9652]

Lovely Jubbly, only our Tiff can explain what it's like to drive a £350k and keep a smile on his face while doing it.

[@mlondimthethwa3211]

[@elnino7822]

Tiffany Dell doing what he does best, driving and entertaining. Bravo

Pretty genius car for being shipped out the door in this day and age. It's the everyday V12 car that is just cool. What more do you need.

[@css172]

Title should be "Tiff Needell Test drives a Ferrari 812 GTS" The most important person being first :)

[@kyrikyriacou6554]

It doesn’t get much better than Tiff thrashing a V12 Ferrari!

I love Tiff. He's a great car guy. Enjoyed watching the video but at the end could not help thinking Tiff along with this car are the last dinosaurs of the combustion engine age.

As always a great presentation by Tiff

Tiff is GOAT. Best auto journalist by far.

[@joaoluistavares6046]

Thank you for the video. Great cruising. V12, great sound, Ferrari, and Tiff.

[@hondansx1000]

He filmed that round Compton Abbas in Dorset! I recognised the twisty bit going up to Wind Green. I used to ping my little Fiesta and my dads MX-5 up and down that road when i was 17 not long after getting my license. My dad used to look after Old Wardor castle that's just ouside Tisbury near Swallow Cliff where James' pub is located

[@rogerwilliamson7161]
