Ferrari 812 Superfast Launched In India For Rs 5.2 Crore
Italian sports car manufacturer Ferrari has launched its grand tourer – the Ferrari 812 Superfast in India for Rs 5.2 crore. The 812 Superfast first made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2017, and is the successor to the F12berlinetta.
Its 6496cc V12- 65° engine churns out 588kW of maximum power output at 8500rpm and 718Nm of maximum torque at 7000rpm. The maximum engine speed is 8900rpm.
Mated to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission, the newly launched Ferrari has maximum speed of 340km/hr, and can accelerate from 0-100km/hr in 2.9 seconds.
Ferrari 812 Superfast measures 4657mm X 1971mm X 1276mm, with 2720mm of wheelbase, and 92 litres of fuel tank capacity.
Designed by the Ferrari Styling Centre, the 812 Superfast has a two-box design with a high tail reminiscent of the 365 GTB4 (Daytona) of 1969, visually lowering an aggressive rear spoiler designed to guarantee downforce.
The draped design of the flanks visually shortens the tail and is characterised by sharply slanted crease lines and muscular wheel arches.
The cabin has been radically redesigned for an even sportier look.
The aerodynamic coefficient values delivered by the 812 Superfast are a significant improvement on those of the F12berlinetta.
To the side of the air intakes for engine and brake cooling, is a turning vane on the front bumper which is designed to channel air flows. A spoiler on tail of the car generates rear downforce.
Three pairs of curved dams were adopted on the underbody and are responsible for 30 per cent of the increase in downforce compared to the F12berlinetta, claims the automaker.
The 812 Superfast is the first Ferrari to introduce Electric Power Steering (EPS). The car also sees the introduction of the Virtual Short Wheelbase 2.0 system (PCV) which combines electric front-wheel steering assistance with the mechanical concept built around tyre dimensions and the rear-wheel steering.
The car also features Ferrari Peak Performance (FPP), and Ferrari Power Oversteer (FPO). With the FPP, the steering wheel torque will provide the driver with an indication that the car is getting closer to its limit of grip, helping the control of that dynamic state.
With FPO, the steering wheel torque will give the driver feedback to give steering wheel inputs that are coherent with realigning the car correctly.
The mechanical set-up sees the adoption of tyres developed specifically for Ferrari by Michelin and Pirelli and retain the same sizes front and rear (275/315) introduced on the F12tdf.
Combined with the Hi-Performance ABS of the 9.1 Premium ESP, the braking performance from 100 km/hr is improved by 5.8 per cent compare to the F12berlinetta, claims Ferrari.
