The Official Ferrari 812 SUPERFAST pictures thread

Of course! Here is the link: http://www.rutamotor.com/ferrari-lanza-en-chile-a-su-fabuloso-812-superfast-de-800-hp-de-su-motor-v12-de-65-litros/

 

I have seen Grigio Ingrid, Nuovo Grigio Ingrid and Grigio Ingrid Triplo strato side by side.
From my perspective the Nuovo Grigio Ingrid has more silver tones, the Triplo Strato has a lot more gold effect and the "normal" Grigio Ingrid is between both.

 

Not necessarily. EU law allows speedometers to read anywhere between the actual speed and 10% over + 4km/h. So 355km/h actual speed could legally be displayed as 394.5. FWIW, every Ferrari I have owned has overstated the actual speed by close to 10%.

 

Congratulations on the wheels, best choice IMO.

 

It's called being a certified card carrying moron....

 

Agreed. I saw the 812 however and could not resist. One thing that cracks me up is how absolutely annoying not only this guy is but most of these dudes. This guy’s voice is especially annoying and doesn’t seem knowledgeable of the Ferrari marque.

 

Hello all.

One observation and one question.

Drove an 812 last week and the trim over the dashboard reflects very badly, mine is changes to black Alcantara. Strongly recommend, I think the coloured trim looks a bit Fiat 500.

Second does anyone know how long my car which is currently in “painting” is from built ? Thanks.

 

My experience is that modern cars are closer to 3% overstatement (some is needed anyway, because in no circumstance - e.g. underinflated or worn tyres - the speedometor should indicate a speed inferior to the real speed).

 

I think German law forbids vehicle manufacturers from displaying a speed that is lower than the actual speed the vehicle is traveling, thus, they all have some formula to overstate the speed. I remember in the early 2000s someone at BMW explained to me their formula was a constant MPH differential plus a % so it was like always 3MPH over and 5%. So if you were doing an indicated 100, your actual speed was actually 92MPH.

I assume the standard GI on the configurator is what you call "normal" GI?

Mine went from "in painting" (Status 30/first photo) to road test (status 70) in just under 2 weeks.

 

Someone owes Camlet1 copyright fees

 

I understand that “normal” Grigio Ingrid is not available anymore, at least as a standard color.
It changed in terms of name to “Nuovo Grigio Ingrid” and in terms of the shade (more silver effect).

On the other side Grigio Ingrid Triplo Strato is an Extracampionario color option.

 

Thanks DC, great shots; a little strange seeing my tdf spec on the 812, but it's a generous compliment. The owner has obviously impeccable taste

 

Nah, they can make me a ridiculous offer for my tdf so the owner can have the pair

(She's not going anywhere).

 

Firstly, I was referring to indicated (a.k.a. speedometre), not actual speed. How did I compute that? Simply by taking the indicated speed from the video above at just below 7000 RPM and extrapolating the projected speed at just under 8000 RPM. It should read 355ish.
Secondly, modern Ferraris have very accurate speedometres. The 458 for example is doing 330 (V-Box reading), when the speedo is indicating 340 kph. That's just 3%. At lower speeds the delta is even lower, as the percentage is not fixed (easily done nowadays with all the modern electronics - there is no mechanical linkage anymore).

As far as speedometres in general are concerned, it is in the EU law (I believe most countries do that) that they cannot under-read. Thus, manufacturers build in a small safety margin in order to protect themselves (against law suits) and their customers (against speeding tickets).

An 812Superfast in Naxos Island, property of footballer (soccer player) Kostas Manolas, who plays in AS Roma. Sad that people still retain a notorious Greek mentality of showing-off their "trophies" when coming back to the "village".

A retro 250 inspired hood scoop would look interesting with some contemporary version of some fog lights.

 

Is the Triplo version worth the money

 

“Showing off” could also be viewed as “inspiring” younger folks to work really hard, follow their dreams, and reach for the stars. I know what motivated me as a child, and a fervent passion for sportscars and racing was part of it. For better or worse, both require a lot of money.

Envy is a tremendous waste of time and energy.

That’s fast, I have painted shields going on and expect that to delay ?
