Powerful V12s with smooth powertrains aren't new to Ferrari, and the 2024 Ferrari 812 GTS lives up to that standard. It's a car that ticks the boxes for power and elegance, proudly carrying the prancing horse emblem.
Boasting a name as impressive as its performance, the 2024 Ferrari 812 Superfast stands out in the assembly of supercars. Like the Ferrari 812 GTS, the 812 Superfast has a powerful 6.5L V12 engine that generates 789 horsepower and 530 lb-ft of torque.
Launched in 2008, the Ferrari California proudly stands as Ferrari's first car with a front-engine V8, a retractable hardtop, and a dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
The Ferrari California T aimed to deliver on performance, comfort, and everyday usability, improving on the offerings of its predecessor.
Two excellent examples of the best Ferrari grand tourers are the Ferrari California and its successor, the recently discontinued Ferrari Portofino, let's see how they stack up against one another.
Enzo Ferrari's son, Alfredo Ferrari also commonly known as Dino had managed to convince his father of the benefits of using a 650 V6 only to lose his life from muscular dystrophy before he could see the fruition of his engine which was designed by Vittorio Jano.
After Enzo Ferrari had stayed out of the Formula 2 races for several years, he decided that he wanted to re-enter. It was this choice that led him to develop the Dino GT.
The Dino model was built to honor Ferrari’s son Alfredo Ferrari who designed a V6 engine before losing his life. The Dino line started with the 206 model which was later succeeded by the 246.
Ferrari first showcased the Dino 308 GTS in October 1973 at the Paris Motor Show. It was the model that would succeed the Dino 246 GT line with production set to start in 1974. Featuring a bigger engine, the Dino 308 GT 4 horsepower significantly improved.
Considered Ferrari's first hypercar, the Ferrari Enzo took cues from Formula 1 innovation, redefining automotive standards through its unmatched speed and precision during its time.
As the 21st Century closed in, Ferrari began producing some of their best grand tourers, starting with the Ferrari 550 Maranello, which paved the way for the Ferrari 575 Maranello and Ferrari 599 that set the stage for the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, easily one of the most hardcore Ferrari grand tourers.
A tribute to Ferrari's dominance in the Tour de France automobile race between 1956 and 1964, the Ferrari F12tdf is a track-optimized evolution of the F12 Berlinetta, pushing the F12 Berlinetta's already outstanding performance to exhilarating extremes.
Often described as Ferrari's first real supercar, the Ferrari F355 was among the best high-performance V8 offerings of its time. Today, it remains a favorite among enthusiasts and buyers seeking to experience the connection between man and machine that classic supercars offer.
Developed to test Ferrari's engineering ingenuity, the Ferrari F355 F1 holds a special place in Ferrari's heritage and F1 History as it was the first road-going car equipped with what Ferrari describes as the innovative F1-style gearbox management system.
