An Overview of Ferrari 812 GTS

The 812 GTS is a new thing in more ways than one. Previously, the convertible versions of Ferrari’s V12 GT cars are limited-run specials.

Think the 550 Barchetta, with its floppy piece of canvas useful only for keeping your seats dry whilst parking up.

Or the 575M Super America, a complex flipping Targa top with its ahem ‘curious’ rear proportions.

More recently, we’ve had the 599 SA Aperta.

But the F12 Berlinetta which follows the 599 GTB was never given the drop-top treatment outside of Ferrari’s special projects division, making this Ferrari’s first V12 roadster in a decade. And the first since the Daytona Spyder of 1971 whose production was limited only by demand.

It all folds up or down in 14 seconds and will operate on the move below 30mph.

Neither is a class-leading figure – think of the speeds you reach accelerating for 14 seconds – but when you see the mechanism in action, you’ll be astounded it operates on the move at all.

It’s a lot more theatrical than rival systems and we wholeheartedly recommend doing it at a standstill so you can enjoy the show.

There’s also the obligatory ‘noise window’, the GTS’s titchy rear screen able to drop down when the roofs are intact. Giving you all of the noise, even when the weather’s crap.

718 Nm of torque guarantees impressive acceleration virtually on par with that of the Ferrari 812 gts brown Superfast while the heady 8900 rpm rev limit means that sporty driving is undiminished.

The shape of the torque curve reveals that torque distribution is sacrificed to boost power. A significant 80% maximum torque is available at just 3500 rpm, improving flexibility and pick-up at lower revs.

The values of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions shown were determined according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version applicable at the time of type approval.

The fuel consumption and CO2 emission figures refer to the WLTP cycle.

Unveiled in September 2019, the Ferrari 812 gts is the open-top version of the 812 Superfast. This marks the first front-engine V12 series production convertible model offered by Ferrari in 50 years, as the convertible variant and is a limited-edition model meant for special customers only. The large rear buttresses present at the rear hold the folding hard top roof under a tonneau cover present between them when not in use. The electronically operate hard top takes 14 seconds to operate and is operable at speeds up to 45 km/h (28 mph).

The GTS weighs 75 kg (165 lb.) more than the Superfast due to chassis reinforcing components but maintains equal performance. The mechanical components including the engine remain the same as the Superfast, except for the transmission which has shorter gear ratios to improve the car’s response to throttle inputs.

The engine’s high-pressure injection system reduces the number of particles that emote the catalytic converter warms up. There is also a new gasoline particulate filter and a stop-start system to improve fuel economy. Other features shared with the Superfast include the Manettino dial, side-slip angle control, and variable steering weight.

Ferrari 812 gts brown car is aerodynamically refined to eliminate any turbulence arising from the loss of a fixed roof.
