Buy This Ferrari 812 and People Will Probably Never Know How Loaded You Really Are

As you can imagine, Ferrari has kept all the details about it close to its chest, so we don't know what it's called. Heck, we don't even know if they have hybridized it, just like Lamborghini has done with its Revuelto flagship supercar. Nevertheless, it will probably still feature a naturally aspirated V12 with no electric assistance whatsoever.

Despite being dead and buried, one can still buy an almost brand-new Ferrari 812. This is where the second-hand market comes in handy, as there are multiple examples for sale, varying from the Superfast (Coupe), GTS (Convertible), and Competizione A (Targa). And if you cannot ignore an open-top version, then the 812 GTS pictured above might be just what the doctor ordered.

You see, the Ferrari 812 GTS was already a dream machine and an ultra-capable vehicle, be it on twisty mountain roads or in a straight-line battle against similarly powered machines. However, this one has received the visit of Novitec, which has turned it into a different kind of animal, not necessarily from a performance perspective, even though it is way punchier, but due to the fact that they have reworked multiple other components.

The renowned tuner has given it flared front and rear fenders and rocker panels, which were made of carbon fiber. It also features a new lip spoiler, a rear diffuser, and a few other things that help it stand out more next to its stock self. According to Novitec, this machine is 5.5 inches (14 cm) wider than it was when it left the factory floor. And if that's not enough, it also rides 1.3 inches (35 mm) closer to the ground courtesy of the new lowering springs.

To make sure that speed bumps don't pose a threat to that expensive nose, it comes with a front-lift system that can raise it by roughly 1.5 inches (40 mm). This one features a Grigio Silverstone finish with blue and white racing strips, has aftermarket wheels signed by Novitec and Vossen with a black look that measure 10x21 inches at the front and 12.5x22 inches at the rear, and comes with a completely reupholstered interior.

Here, it mixes Royal Blue and White leather on most touchable surfaces, from the lower parts of the dashboard and steering wheel to the center console, door cards, and seats. We can also see the Italian flag motif on certain elements, white piping, and a lot of carbon fiber trim. Elsewhere, it features the usual equipment one would normally expect from a high-end modern-day Ferrari, including that small screen in front of the passenger that shows critical information.

Ferrari's V12 Spider comes with a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated engine under that long hood, which can be revved up to 8,900 rpm. It churns out 789 hp (800 ps/588 kW) at 8,500 rpm and produces 530 lb-ft (718 Nm) of torque at 7,000 rpm, delivered to the rear axle through a 7sp DCT. With a dry weight of 3,627 lbs (1,645 kg), the 812 GTS needs just under three seconds to 62 mph (100 kph) and has a top speed exceeding 211 mph (340 kph).

Now, that's certainly enough grunt for any gearhead, but Novitec has bumped these numbers by applying some trickery to the engine, which also includes a performance-optimized exhaust system with flap control. The result is 828 hp (840 ps/618 kW) and 554 pound-feet (751 Nm) of torque, which has dropped two-tenths of a second from the sprint time. The tuner has also increased the top speed to 214 mph (345 kph).

Is that not enough to convince you to spend that hard-earned money on this Ferrari 812 GTS? Well, then, you should also know that there are only two other supercars in this configuration. Novitec calls it the N-Largo S and states that production was capped at three. The model premiered last fall, and it is a work of art, something that other tuners could learn something from.

You can find this rare beast on Hollmann International here, which claims that it has 168 miles (270 km) under its belt. Thus, it is a brand-new supercar, albeit one that costs more than the proverbial arm and leg. The vendor is willing to let it go in exchange for €1,309,000, including tax, and that equals around $1,425,000 at the current exchange rates. People will certainly notice you more if you get it, but since it's not a flashy build, chances are they won't know you coughed up nearly one and a half million for it. So, would you buy it if you sat on that kind of money?
