Ferrari 812 Superfast & GTS: Buying Guide

[@Roadster3254]

I have been an 812 GTS owner for 1 year. I had to put this information together on my own. This video is a superb start for any potential buyer! Prior to purchase I looked at color combinations and at "deal beaker" options which were most important to me. I viewed the 812 GTS as a "forever" car rather than as short term "flipper". If you are going to spend 812 GTS money...take the time to find one you really like. For me the 812 GTS is the best all around modern Ferrari. '.

[@HectorVo-rr1ik]

Agree with you after they released 12 cilindri

[@e50teric]

As a collector and owner of one of the last GTS’ produced, I can say it’s a splendid driver with a sublime sound when fitted with a Novitec system😎

[@fullyplantd]

I don't know why im watching this

[@lotterynj]

Same😂

[@LarryKippings]

🤷🏻

[@muhammadzailani7313]

Me too, we just love cars that's why.😂

[@mrgrumpy771]

ready for the lottery win....

[@63CommonSense]

I'm 6'3", is there sufficient leg room for someone my height?

[@blackdeath9780]

one day I am going to need this video🤝

[@billionnaire1]

Your time would bebetter spent learning how to make money rather than watching KZbin videos on cars you can't afford.

[@CosmicRockersHiFi]

If I win the euro millions I will buy you one just on your comment!

[@royd72]

The blue/tan GTS is stunning, such a great spec 💙

[@aquaticbob7595]

The front wheels on your blue superfast are on backwards. Can tell at 4:18, common thing with those wheels. The LED steering wheel was available in leather and alcantara as well, for those that aren't interested in the carbon wheel but still want the LEDs. Probably a rarer option, but I love it on my 812. The passenger screen controls for nav and music don't work with apple carplay, and if you do try to use the music controls it will stop the music playing on carplay. Great video to have for future 812 owners to be able to reference!

[@marklee7545]

I wondered about those wheels on the blue one! Very obvious when you see it with the red one at 4:38. Smacks of a lack of attention to detail which I find surprising with Romans and makes you wonder exactly how those wheels ended up being swapped. Not what I’d expect on a 1 owner £200k Supercar and would make me suspicious about that car.

[@aquaticbob7595]

@marklee7545 Just because the wheels have been taken off doesn't mean anything against the car. The car has gone in for at least a few annual maintenances, the wheels come off. It's a pretty easy thing to miss for a lot of techs. I wouldn't worry about it that much. That said, cars for sale should probably have their wheels on right lol

[@adzyu9222]

After watching this very informative video, i've decided to buy that used Honda Civic

[@FlyasaDiamond]

Thanks! I was looking at a golf 1.6 TDI, but after watching this I’ve decided to go for a superfast

[@JohnGuidetti751]

At least go for 2.0 TDI or the GTD lol

[@cobra1010]

The 812 in Blu Pozzi looks fantastic!

[@jd5819]

Brilliant video Tom! Well done 👍🏻

[@karladam3864]

Having owned an 812 with OPF aka GPF and without, I can tell you the difference in sound is massive. In particular, it looses the scream at higher revs. Fairly easy to remove GPF with sports cats from someone like Novitec. Still passes UK MoT. Costs around £5k and well worth it!

[@ivanbelyanovjr.8025]

100% !

[@mseaton2000]

Love these videos. Absolutely fascinating, thanks 🙏

[@marksedgley4571]

Brilliant video Tom as an overview. You should have been on Top Gear. Mark S.

[@PaulBrunache]

Thank you for the for the well timed video, as I am about to go shopping for a GTS😍

[@DavidBarber-u9k]

another great informative video Tom👌

[@shajenab8034]

great video, looking to chop my f12 in feb and this has def helped

[@Mike-sg9tl]

Thank you, very helpful.

[@blissmd]

Red 812 GTS is 🔥🔥🔥

[@millemodello]

Excellent, thorough content. 👍

[@amgguy4319]

Very well done!

[@FrankieDuca]

I have the 812 gts in Grigio silverstone I want an 812 competizione next!

[@BCWYAF]

Reliable? Any issues since ownership?

[@simonb7556]

A brilliant video.

[@ericrebhan8041]

Amazing job brother

[@KreegerCollection]

Very good. Very informative. Not sure what to do with my GTS! No idea if I will love the 12 Cilindri Spider as much!

[@donovanf1]

A very informative and interesting video

[@ronaldJ262]

Tom this video is gold dust, any chance of doing a similar buyers guide for the 488 ? x

[@BetoMacedo776]

Congratulations from Brazil

[@supercarssupremo1333]

Great video

[@wordlife25money]

One of the best modern Ferraris out there

[@mikebaker8667]

Excellent detail here, i will be looking for an 812 Superfast in 2025 hopefully.

[@luada]

I think of Nico when watching this video 😰

[@TheVelvetGlove]

In my opinion the 812 Superfast is the best looking car of the past decade, along with the “16 Jaguar F Type R🔥🔥🔥

[@somerandomfella]

Very useful information. I'm going to the Ferrari dealership tomorrow and asking them if they need a new toilet cleaner.

[@LarryKippings]

If you’re going to drive or buy an 812 SF don’t go for one with a GPF fitted. Long term those cars will be worth a lot less. The OG 812 SF has the best engine ever put in a non-limited edition road car. Plus, go for pre-facelift mirrors on the 812 (without cameras) as these are a lot more stylish.

[@robertpineda2858]

So true. Non gpf 812 has a glorious scream especially north of 6500 rpm.

[@wordlife25money]

Can you just remove the gpf?

[@robertpineda2858]

@@wordlife25money No. You need to do some aftermarket work on the catalytic units and the ecu. Have to get a company like Novitec or Capristo involved.

[@pierredebug17]

Buy one, value it at zero and drive it…Why care about the future value of a non limited edition…This is actually a TDF without a limited number.

[@MrTwister86660]

That blue super fast is the perfect spec for me. Just one problem- 💰

[@FrankieDuca]

Make a buyers guide for the 488 pista spider!

[@hl236]

Bummer about the GPT gimping. However kudos to Ferrari for doing whatever they can to keep the V12 alive. Please make a parody video like this on a 70k Vauxhall Zafira.

[@nojabs999]

Cam you start the STO in the background please

[@brianfromthirty]

watching at my college internship😭

[@TheBest-h2v]

How does PPF influence you buying in a car. Is it worth applying the film for resale.

[@ajh4663]

Love this!

[@SamiurRahman191]

Are the wheels on the coupes directional? As they both face different directions

[@michaeljshao]

Can you guys do a buying guide for Bentley CGT V8 and W12?

[@qaisasghar4152]

You should do one for r8s

[@donjohnson4368]

Is the triple yellow a no no or a viable option. I’m thinking off getting one but don’t want to be stuck with one when selling due to bad color choice

[@JianTyngLee]

One of these 812s will get shipped to Malaysia soon.

[@glennpearson4699]

As a rule of thumb…only get a manufacturer’s warranty. The manufacturer wants to keep you as a future customer….whereas as any other only makes money if they don’t pay out….its pretty obvious

[@Scraggy33]

The coupe is becoming good value

[@Carrera-gp9od]

I don’t get the point in all that bolt on carbon bits , does it make the car drive any better ?

[@brianfromthirty]

Yes and no…. Carbon is lighter so in theory the car drives faster, but it’s probably not noticeable.

[@johndrake2147]

I don't think Nico would recommend the Novitec exhaust!

[@Smurf-wx4wk]

812's are Discontinued right??

[@guinnessharvey4476]

Thanks but I’ve decided to go for a 2016 Ford Focus.

[@garyleibitzke4166]

Satin and matte are two instant turn offs for me. IMO paint should be gloss, period. I saw an 812 in a dark forest green with lots of gold metallic. It was absolutely stunning.

[@donjohnson4368]

What are the best selling colours?

[@shaniapearcey]

Red I'd imagine

[@AgravepasmonK]

Haven’t you seen the video ? He says that it sells less in red. (This car in particular)

[@anttikivisaari586]

Are the red cars wheels wrong way around?

[@TuanNguyen-ci7tt]

How much 812gts sr?

[@FrankieDuca]

I’m looking for a 575 superamerica and 16m scuderia, and 599 gto ! Hit me up when you get those in and reply to my comment!!!

[@ELXABER]

No one could ever argue Ferrari doesnt give you lots of options, or charge for them.

[@eskanday]

Thank you. Such a great video. Doing one for F12 would be nice. Probably there are some similarities

[@dm4shooter89]

Bro am I missing something? Cheapest GTS I can find online is like $450-500k (on Autotrader and on Ferrari Pre-owned. Where tf are you seeing them for $300k?! Hook me up!

[@damoncus8124]

Great video thanks. Can you take the GPF off these cars ? Let me rephrase, can you take it off these cars easily… That would be the first thing to go in my mind, along with an aftermarket exhaust there’s a couple good systems out there. This is the only Ferrari that I’ve liked in the last eight years (the F12 as well). Given how hideous its replacement looks like a.k.a. the abomination, I suspect these cars will likely hold or continue to go up in value.

[@nickgalla-barth6336]

Strange, my local Porsche dealer didn’t bat an eyelid when I handed them the extended warranty from the previous owner. Had a new gearknob fitted under warranty (A known weakness), but strangely they wouldn’t cover fixing a squeak in the interior.
