    I am so excited to receive my brand incredibly fantastic 812 today. It is just incredible. I am beyond thrilled.

    It joins my 2011 458. These are engines I love. We all love something about Ferrari so that’s why we read this stuff and look at cool pictures. Hopefully you will like this.

    And the 458 is F1 Rosso 2007 which is a fantastic triple?quadruple? layer red. I am bit overboard on color.

    I am waiting for the 812 to get PPF on it, but I still could not hold back and took it for a short drive. Wow, the car just shrinks around you. Today I spent a bunch of time in the 458. The technology differences in the 812 are quite substantial relative to the 458 (as is the monstrous power differential). Yes for sure, I can tell the power difference.

    But in the end, they are just both so much fun to drive. That feeling of the car as part of you as the driver is was the same to me in the 458 and the 812. I am fortunate to grow up from the 5 year old kid watching Speed Racer and now living the fantasy. Thank you Ferrari for making these cars.

    And thanks for all of the nice people here on Fchat.

    Absolutely loving my 812 as well after 400 miles. Still haven't had a chance to REALLY open it up, but it's obviously faster than my previous F12.

    Congratulations on owning what I think are two of the best cars on the market. I actually just started a post about flipping my 458 for a 812 and your post answers a lot of my questions. While I would love to keep both , I couldn’t justify the cost in my position.

    Doing the exact same thing right now. Will be driving one this weekend and if it’s as good as everyone describes which I’m sure it will be. Then I think it’s time to move across to the V12 side.

    Congrats! I just did the same thing. I ordered an 812 to complement my 458. YOLO right? I'd be interested in hearing about the differences between the cars. I have never owned a car with the sound that the 458 has. I'm hoping the 812 is just as good if not better.
