Chris Harris goes for a drive in the new Ferrari 812 Competizione at the Fiorano Circuit in Maranello, the latest limited edition V12 Ferrari. This particular car weighs in as the highest revving and most powerful V12 the marque have ever produced.
We would like to apologise for the poor sound quality, but this was a smash and grab exercise without our normal crew! Having said that, any footage of a Ferrari is good footage, surely! - CH

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! 👍

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

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 ;)

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!

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.

@@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).
