@@trudownsouth8490 Congratulations on one of the, unfortunately few, truly well specced ( and therefore special) 812's I've seen. Even on video. Mine is in Blu Pozzi w/a mostly blu and cuoio leather and alcantara interior with most of the carbon as yours (ridding the inside of silver plastic) done in Blu fiber. The exterior carbon is standard. It, for sure is very expensive - the sills, painted the color of the exterior, alone had me slowly shaking my head. Yet, options like the airbrushed shields, really do set the car apart and after considering the base price I didn't want to feel a pang of regret every time I opened the hood and looked at the plastic engine covers. I had them done in blu carbon with the front piece signed by the line assemblers in silver then sealed. I've tried to paint a picture of what's possible (without going "tailor made"). If you're in the market for one of these cars or a similar one, go for it and don't hold back. You won't regret it, but you may if you do! Plus, a well specced sports car is the one everyone wants. Especially the "investors"!
The 812 is I think my favourite modern Ferrari. I have always preferred the front-engined look personally, and I think the 812 is damn close to the perfect incarnation of such a thing
Exhausts have been muted under type approval because people took the piss. I'd rather remove the sound proofing in the car and listen to engineering noise.
The F12’s is a classic, timeless design. I’m partial to the TDF, and the styling cues of the SP America were carried over from the newer models of that time. The 812 is the sleek, cool younger brother that blends in with the rest of the lineup rather than stands out. They’re both fantastic, but for me, the F12 will always be truer to the Ferrari heritage.
F12tdf in Blu Cielo/Azzurro La Plata/Baby Blue with French Tricolore stripes and Blu Sterling/Baby Blue interior is something I would sell my soul for.
@@spendor9377 812 Superfast actually stood for 800PS, V12, and the nod to old Ferrari 500 Superfast as well as the one-off P540 Superfast Aperta. So there is a historic and technical precedence to the way Ferrari picked the name for their cars. It's just that they are very inconsistent with the naming convention.
The F12TDF is still my favourite modern Ferrari, it might even be my favourite of all time but im not comfortable admitting that yet haha. But the 812, and your F12 are still things of absolute desire and beauty. And anyone enjoying them like this is good for me. Awesome video
Incredible specs, I would have certainly ordered it mostly the same way if I could afford it, and since it might be the end of the line for the N/A V12 it's also a collector's dream IMO
The 812 looks like a classic without being old, it's curvaceous and sculpted and bold without resorting to huge black portions (not more than the F12) Actually the F12 is the one that looks angrier despite being a cleaner design. The only thing I like more of the F12 is the rear being flat, while on the 812 it's not unlike what the design suggests
You're absolutely right re the colour. A 458 in a blue I can't describe, drove by 63rd & 1st on Bothwell St, Saturday night there. It would not have as good in red!
Everyone assumed the 812 would be the last N/A 12 cyl Ferrari and piled in ...however code name F167 coming next year..yes another 12Cyl non hybrid non turbo 2 seat Ferrari... Dennis will no doubt order one next? Kudos to Dennis for actually driving this beautiful example.
Love the design of the F12. The uninterrupted lines on the side profile remind me of classic sports cars while the aggressive front & rear are much more daring than the 8. The dream would’ve been an F12 in GTS spec. Lovely video!
I'd probably opt for the 812, based purely on the fact that it has gold wheels, which always reminds me of the early 1970s F1 Ferraris driven by legendary drivers like Chris Amon and Jacky Ickx; not a great reason, I grant you, but on looks alone there isn't much to choose.
Good God! She is a screamer with that naturally aspirated engine, for mere mortals driving a Ferrari is not a realistic choice, if I win the lottery, F12 please,for now I will enjoy my flat six. Thanks for sharing.
I think both are stunning. Ferrari have done a brilliant job in not making the 812 overshadow the F12 and make it look dated. Either of them could be the latest car.
Great video! You share a lot of my sentiments and personally speaking, and I chose the 812 SF over the F12. I stepped into a Ferrari dealership in late 2020 looking at F12's looking to upgrade from the 911 GT3. Seeing the 812 in person solidified the fact that I much prefer the 812's looks over the F12. All the small updates that aren't that big on their own actually add up to a bigger difference overall, and so I walked out of the dealership telling myself that I'd rather save up a bit more for an 812 rather than settling for an F12. Better exhaust tone/engine sounds, more updated interior controls/looks, higher quality instrument binnacle, Apple CarPlay support, etc. All make it worth waiting a bit more for the 812 than settling for an F12 since I suspect it'll be a car that's in my garage forever.
@@Xolition I made money on the GT3 and have other means of income, so I have no regrets. Car purchases are never investment opportunities for me so I never look at them as a tool to make money. I buy what I like driving and sell when I'm done with the car or the car no longer suits my needs as the GT3 did. I had a baby so it was time to get a family car again, so I said goodbye to the GT3. The 812 will be a great present to myself when it's time.
Hey Jay love your videos man! One little suggestion if I may, when you do the pure driving footage without commentary etc, please use the sound of not only exhaust mics but also interior ones. I think the sound you hear from within the cabin is an essential part of the experience of any car.
JayEmm, Your version of a car review is ‘Best in Class’. I have, in my time gone through the 911, SL, Lambo, Maserati and Ferrari school but sadly age has wearied me from the true pleasures of driving stupidity. So now I live vicariously and enviously through your rather excellent road reports. Thank you for offering the pleasures and not belabouring the details, it makes road reports fun again.
I would still get the GTS. The option to roll down the back window and hear that V12 all the time even when it's not good weather is amazing.Not to mention the roof down whenever possible.It's no contest to me! If it were a track focused lightweight mid engine Ferrari It would be another story! As a road car, if it doesn't look bad with the roof up like in this case there is no good reason to not get the convertible since chassis got so good on them in recent years!
JayEmm you're a man after my own heart ( whatever that means). I too buy cars in order to to drive them. That's what brings me enjoyment. My investments don't break my heart when I let them go. I also see you look forward to a good drive as soon as you can. Many times I jump behind the wheel so early that, I too, neglect to change out of my pajamas!
While I appreciate the efforts expended on the exhaust closeups, it's during the rolling, on-song flybys that you start to get a real idea of the orchestral soundscape emitted from a Ferrari V12 powertrain. Truly otherworldly.
Great road test.Delightful to see the 812 blasting up and down country lanes.Lovely shot of the car changing direction at the end from the outside.Would be good if there were more shots like that within the test itself.All round a pretty good road test.
812. Although it is a very close distinction. Both cars are strikingly beautiful. The 812 nose and headlight treatment is subtly more refined in my opinion.
Another fantastic video James. Really helped me as I am currently going through the same dilemma choosing between 812 and F12. Really enjoy listening to your view points and logic. Next time you’re at NLD get the guys to drop me a call. Would love to meet you, buy you a beer and talk cars. Vikram
Great video James. I own also an F12 after having tried both. There is something "rawer" about it compared to the 812 - and more "minimalistic" in the Pininfarina design. If I must look forward to which one could be shown in a museum, I'bet it'd be the F12
Thanks for all the great content! I'm from the US, but travel to Lancashire every summer, and would love to drive a Ferrari through that part of the world at some point. You've convinced me of the f430 coupe. Thanks again for sharing your experience with these wonderful machines, and for the quality presentation.
I prefer 812 Superfast because it is the ultimate expression of NA V12, period. If you could have either F12 or 812 would you really choose the former when you know there is a newer, more powerful iteration out there? The main reason for F12 would be cost.
I don't think too many 12 year olds would be cross shopping F12 and 812 mate. F12 design is nice in the front but the rear design is not great. 812 looks more cohesive overall. Plus the pre-GPF (gas particulate filter) 812 sounds glorious and has a much better engine than F12. As Enzo said, you're buying the engine and the rest he throws in for free. If your budget allows, get the early gen 812. The question is whether you get both 812 SF and GTS..
Nothing will ever sound better than a naturally aspirated V12. Personally, I prefer the F12. The one @autovlog had in white with that red interior was a beast.
Sounds like an old F1 car and has similar power. I think it’s the usability that is the greatest achievement, making something that revs to 9 and does 0-100mph in
Most of the public has no clue about where the engine of the car is---front or rear. What they react to is the overall shape and impression. The mid-engine supercars affect the public based on looks only and typically that type of Ferrari appears in movies or on tv and the public forms their opinion that way. Front engined Ferraris are typically never in tv shows or in movies so when the public sees one they are fascinated as it looks like a Corvette to them.
One of the most beautiful Ferraris ever ,your right ,such a classy supercar ,and the marranellos finest V12 .It's so elegant compared to most supercars nowdays .
I'm not a massive Ferrari fan however what you said about the front engine models is so true. Also must agree that not every Ferrari should be red. Lairy cars should come in lairy colours. As a committed Aston Martin dreamer I am both disappointed and astounded that the Roma bears a prancing horse as opposed to wings.
Hoping that the leather driving gloves seen at the 13 and a half minute mark are meant to be so.e sort of film reference and are not a descent into becoming 1960s Frrrari man. Glad yoj enjoyed the car, it is pretty wonderful.
I think you hit the nail on the head regarding Ferrari love/hate attitudes. I notice a very different attitude to me when I'm driving my company 21 plate BWM 330eX (people hate me) and my 2005 Jaguar XK8 (smiles and goodwill all-round). Humans, eh?
I'd like either one...At least I get compliments with my Corvette. And for what ever reason, my old IROC-Z28 produced lots of negative sentiment. Like having a lit cigarette tossed at it. Even people yelling at me fist in the air. I could never really figure out why. I'm thinking the new C8 is a lot more aggressive looking and may illicit similar responses of hate as it's rather ostentatious looking. Where driving an older model is 'cool.' But, that being said, I'd take either Ferrari. They're both amazing cars.
Great video, per usual. You mentioned that you don't think all Ferraris look good in red. I'm curious if there's any recent models you have in mind, say from the 360 onward?
Just a picky comment, those carbon fiber paddles were not spec from factory, they are from the Ferrari genuine accessories list, that is why they have the slot in them.
Jay, that’s the question F12 or 812? It could be like looking at a new Wide screen TV. At first you see it’s a little better then look at the old one, and you see the difference. When you get back in the F12 I am sure your see the difference? For me, the 812 with those Daytona rear lights and slightly more aggressive styling is one of the nicest looking Ferraris for many years. Potentially I’ll be looking for a 599 and later a 812, fingers crossed. Great video
I like the styling of the F12 better. Just the stance with the side silhouette and the rear looks amazing with the body diffusing into the undercarriage
I also feel conflicted with the f12 and 812's front end in that i'd probably prefer the f12 in blue or the 812 in british green especially with those wheels fitted given the chance.
Talking about the connection with public (and admittedly talking about very different metal to you): On the same day I drove 2 cars through Attleborough in Norfolk for their MOT's on a cold January morning. A Triumph Stag - everyone seemed to celebrate the fact it existed - and on 2 occasions I got waved out of junctions. A 911 - people seemed wary - what had you done to be driving that thing. I think I'd get the exact same 911 reaction from people if I drove through the same village in my Ford Focus whilst drinking a can of larger (which doesn't mean you're breaking the law).

Watching Jay’s channel grow into what it has become is satisfying as a viewer. Brilliant as always, Jay! Thanks and keep em coming.
F12 all day, every day. Having said that, I loved every bit of James’ 812 reviews.
Why don't cars sound like this anymore? What a truly wonderful sounding engine.
Because v12s are heavy. Extremely complex and they chungs as much fuel as a Brit at a pub.
OMG the noise of the thing, just glorious. In a time of OPF filters and much muted exhaust tones these are a reminder of what we all used to love
It is a special engine
Exhausts have been muted under type approval because people took the piss. I'd rather remove the sound proofing in the car and listen to engineering noise.

@officialmafeo Same engine that is in the 812 Superfast Ferrari has decided to put that into their Purosangue SUV. God I love Ferrari!!!

Absolute dream car
Some say, that straight piped, you can drive an 812 in John O’ Groats and folks will hear it at Lands End.
And it's that quick it'd probably get there before it's own sound!
Love the sound of this car, but not quite as much as the notification I hear when you upload! Thanks for providing this stunning content James! 😃

Thanks, I was going to buy the f12 but after seeing this I think I'll go for the 812 superfast
Definitely my favorite Ferrari. It has the looks, the speed, and the sound we all crave! What a legend this car will become!

Only if your 12 and have to have the latest and greatest. I’ll take the f12 as it looks better to my eyes

Why i think people love front engine car is the proportion of the long bonnet to the car length, compared to a squashed aerodynamic looking mid engine
Well done Jay🎉
I love seeing Ferraris that aren’t red or yellow. There’s a Nardo grey F 40 that’s to die for, and ironically every Ferrari looks stunning in BRG
RM Sotheby’s has an OEM matte black Enzo 1 of 1 on private auction - so very nice ❤️💪
Nothing will ever sound better than a naturally aspirated V12. Personally, I prefer the F12. The one @autovlog had in white with that red interior was a beast.
I beg to differ.
A naturally aspirated V10 sounds magical. 👌🏽
i dunno mate, some inline 4s sound pretty tasty lol
I think there are amazing sounding motors in every configuration, including turbo and na. I mean a 1jz Gte with the right exhaust on 😍
loving the driving gloves. Alan Partridge would be proud of you
Those were not his hands, I'm guessing Dennis is the owner of those hands pink shirt and tweed jacket.
So British! 😀
812!
I think it’s sharpened and pinched at all the right areas

I'm thinking the new C8 is a lot more aggressive looking and may illicit similar responses of hate as it's rather ostentatious looking. Where driving an older model is 'cool.' But, that being said, I'd take either Ferrari. They're both amazing cars.
What a stunner! them wheels look brilliant! 👏🏻
Great video, per usual. You mentioned that you don't think all Ferraris look good in red. I'm curious if there's any recent models you have in mind, say from the 360 onward?
Hi James, I prefer the Pininfarina era so it’s the F12 for me.
F12 hands down, the front, and especially the rear where the body swoops down umtos the F1 light.
How you managed to avoid using the F word as an adjective when describing that car after hearing its glorious V12 is beyond me - I salute you!
3:47 felt like the "they're the same picture meme"
Just a picky comment, those carbon fiber paddles were not spec from factory, they are from the Ferrari genuine accessories list, that is why they have the slot in them.
Great video I am sticking with my F12 although I do prefer the rear of the 812. Hope they have cured the corrosion problem.
Both are lovely, but I do think the 812 edges the f12 for drama. Nice vid!
Didn’t end up being the very last after all. 12cilindri next! Amazing!
Jay, that’s the question F12 or 812? It could be like looking at a new Wide screen TV. At first you see it’s a little better then look at the old one, and you see the difference. When you get back in the F12 I am sure your see the difference? For me, the 812 with those Daytona rear lights and slightly more aggressive styling is one of the nicest looking Ferraris for many years. Potentially I’ll be looking for a 599 and later a 812, fingers crossed. Great video
"Has been about a month since I last drove the F12 because it is in for a service." - Tells a story in itself.
Glorious design and engine note. Thank you Enzo.
You have to get one!
The Ferrari Purosangue also has an N/A V12, that car will probably be the last production Ferrari that features a N/A V12 engine.
Great review mate, subscribed 100%
I like the styling of the F12 better. Just the stance with the side silhouette and the rear looks amazing with the body diffusing into the undercarriage
Love the F12 but the 812 any day
I would go for dark blue with cream interior, best colour combo for GT Ferrari cars imho
you rock brother enjoy your vids
812 over F12 quite easily is my preference on looks.
first time watching your channel and now you have one more subscriber
Welcome!
I also feel conflicted with the f12 and 812's front end in that i'd probably prefer the f12 in blue or the 812 in british green especially with those wheels fitted given the chance.
Good colour choices
Brilliant Review of a Spectacular Ferrari!!!!
Love it. Thanks 😊
Nice one Jay, I might have to buy one now😂😂
That sound! Musical exhaust note 🎶!! Other than the 308, I tend to like the front engined Ferrari's.
Thanks J, both great cars you'd never tire driving! 🙏🙏
what a sound !
Talking about the connection with public (and admittedly talking about very different metal to you):
On the same day I drove 2 cars through Attleborough in Norfolk for their MOT's on a cold January morning.
A Triumph Stag - everyone seemed to celebrate the fact it existed - and on 2 occasions I got waved out of junctions.
A 911 - people seemed wary - what had you done to be driving that thing.
I think I'd get the exact same 911 reaction from people if I drove through the same village in my Ford Focus whilst drinking a can of larger (which doesn't mean you're breaking the law).
