812 production photos

Not sure if you'll be able to see the GPF unless the car is on a lift.

 

Even if on lift, there may be an under car tray (for aero) that blocks the view and require removal to see for sure... (??)

 

If it has GPF -- doubt it by the way, far too early for cars to be fitted with that yet -- then I suspect you have a few pages in the user manual telling you how to maintain it and what to do when the GPF light on the dash says it needs a heat cycle to clear out all the build up. I am making that up -- but every so often these GPFs need a heat cycle for defined period to restore them. So it is highly likely there will be something in the user manual about it when they start fitting them. They won't have started fitting them yet. Way to early.

 

Yours was made before mine and I have a 2019 USA model.

 

So, it took me much longer than expected to get a decent answer from them. After a couple of weeks, they met some representatives from the factory and then they downplayed the whole GPF issue. They were trying to assure me, that the GPF will not add much weight or power loss. Also that the sound will be good. Basically, they backed their statement that my car will not have GPF and will be build earlier. They offered some test drive for me with a car fitted with GPF in November, atelier experience, etc. I originally agreed, that I will first test the GPF fitted car and then I will make a decision. But I was thinking about it a lot and came to the conclusion that this is not a good solution of the situation. No matter how they sugar coat it, I will indeed get the car fitted with the technology which plays down the v12 sound. I originally planned to equip my 812 with novitec n-largo exhaust to truly unleash the sound of that magnificent v12, but also novitec guys told me, that they are not sure if they will offer aftermarket exhaust system for 812 with GPF. So I decided recently to cancel my order - tomorrow I will meet with dealer as they want to discuss the situation once more and I will see what is on the table and let you guys know.

 

Received Key Box today. Like it.

Are 812 owners also receiving those amazing scale models that match your car’s spec? That would be cool. Would love one of those matching my car’s spec.

 

I find this reaction a bit OTT. I would try it first and then decide. It will still be epic, either way.

 

Why cancel if you can have the car as intended, without GPF which would allow you to fit it with the Novitec exhaust...

I guess I am missing something...can you help me understand?

 

Mine is 246xxx and I just picked it up from dealer last Saturday and it’s a 2019 model year. Not sure how we are 2000 cars off from each other.

Oh, sorry, I wrote that sentence incorrectly in English. They retracted their original statement about me getting car without GPF, instead they mentioned that the GPF is not a big deal and that my car will get GPF.

First picture for 812 ordered in Los Angeles at end of April. Car is currently at status 70, testing, and will watch to see if it is moved to status 90, transit (shipping), while the factory is shutdown in August.

Ok, thank you, I understand, no to GPF, because your order will have GPF I understand why you cancelled, I agree and MY2020 will have automatic emergency braking (AEB) too, I wonder if Ferrari will allow it to be disabled and if it will be as easy as disabling HELE or perhaps AEB only disabled when in CT Off mode...

It is time to shop for a 2018/2019 812 without GPF!

 

I was in a brand new S Class MB limo in NYC two months ago and the AEB engaged without warning while our driver was pulling out of the airport terminal area. The car came to an immediate jolting stop that shocked both us as passengers as well as our driver. We were never able to figure out what caused it to engage. I'll never own a car that has AEB as I firmly believe it creates more dangers than it averts!

The car companies don't hide the fact that today's AEB systems have blind spots. It's all there in the owner's manuals, typically covered by both an all-encompassing legal disclaimer and explicit examples of why the systems might fail to intervene. For instance, the Camry's AEB system may not work when you're driving on a hill. It might not spot vehicles with high ground clearance or those with low rear ends. It may not work if a wiper blade blocks the camera. Toyota says the system could also fail if the vehicle is wobbling, whatever that means. It may not function when the sun shines directly on the vehicle ahead or into the camera mounted near the rearview mirror.

AEB, what a nightmare, be extra careful out there!

 

I too hate AEB, but I have not yet driven a car in which the system is not defeatable.

 

Exterior color is Blu Mirabeau; I thought the TDF was too dark to highlight all the body shapes.
Interior seats are cuoio, carpeting black, stitching, ponies, and belts are blue.

 

Yeah, they’re not perfect but let’s c if it’s same when u c it.

Car arrived in UK on 12 April 2019 and I collected in early May. Model arrived yesterday. So 9 months for the baby Ferrari to arrive after the actual 812 was delivered.
