    I currently own a 488 spider and I am considering trading it for a 812 superfast. I really like the sound of the V12. What are your thoughts on other features and benefits of the 812 versus the 488. Thanks for the feedback

    I've never had a mid engine ferrari but have a 575 and had an 812 and honestly a car cannot get better than the 812. It was a very comfortable driver, which alot of exotics are not. I have had an murcielago,SLR,etc and nothing was as smooth as the front engine Ferrari cars, I don't think I'd ever buy anything else honestly. The sound, the power delivery, the comfort are unparalleled. It's a totally different car from a mid engine car.

    In terms of sound quality N/A beats Turbos every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

    Never had a 488. Traded my 458 for a V12 and can say that there is no comparison. There is just nothing in this world quite like a Ferrari 12....

    Traded my 488 spider for an 812. Best decision I ever made. Can never go back to a v8 after the v12. It has it all- speed handling and comfort. Not quite as nimble as the 458 or 488 but the 4 wheel steering makes it very close- but unless you track it you’ll never notice
