    Does anyone know what the specs are for the hi-fi system? What's the difference between versions?

    Interesting. I might have quoted the spec of the F12 premium hifi (not 812).

    This information seems hard to come by! Did we figure out which it is? BTW I ordered this on my 812 but I have no idea what I ordered!

    The brochure says this is an option, but it may have changed since it was printed.

    I asked my dealer and he confirmed the JBL system.

    Specifically developed for the Ferrari 812 Superfast by JBL
    Professional®, it delivers an exclusive listening experience
    to all occupants by virtue of a 1500W 12-channel
    amplifier and 12 speakers, with Surround Sound
    QuantumLogic®:

    • 2 * 200 mm Woofers in door panels.
    • 5 * 25 mm ceramic Tweeters integrated into the upper
    panel, door panels and rear side panels;
    • 5 * 100 mm Kevlar midrange speakers in the upper
    panel and the side rear panels​

    Don’t think I’ll ever turn it on...unless sitting in a traffic jam or in my garage just to hear what it sounds like.

    The upgraded sound in the F12 and 812 isn't bad quality but it lacks any depth in bass as it has no provision for a proper Subwoofer.

    The GTC4Lusso upgrade is actually quite impressive, if still overpriced.

    Is the Lusso better than the 812? I have the Lusso upgrade and on the 812 when it arrives. The Lusso is pretty good.

    812 upgrade is worth every $. I listened to it in the Lusso and thats why I added it. The real comparison is to listen to the standard system and then decide rather than comparing to some random other car's system.

    So I've had a chance to listen to it and I'm happy I ordered it. The system has enough punch that I can listen to music over the road/car if I want to. It's quite a clean sounding system even at high volume. I kind of feel like a badass sitting in traffic just absolutely blasting Metallica in my blue 812. With my long hair I'm sure people are forming a certain opinion of me (that's probably not true!).

    Anyway it sounds great to me, go JBL.

    I love it and think it’s pretty spectacular. Audio upgrades in F cars aren’t always worth it but it is the 812

    I agree. Not disappointed with the hifi upgrade in the 812. It has a good clarity of sound and and good separation between frequencies. I find most hifis in cars have overblown bass, and sound like there are pillows over the speakers. Not so in the 812 — good system in my view. Powerful, great clarity, and great surround/stereo spacing.

    Had it in my F 12, getting it again in my 812, nothing like the Burmeister system in the Porsche, but a definite improvement over the standard system.

    Cannot believe the specs as advised, as it cost thousands and is very poor for the price. Ferraris sound systems are generally rubbish. Aston Martin Bang and Olufsen in a completely different league

    Totally agree, some mid range cars have a completely better system, as standard
