Tuning any supercar, especially the Ferrari 812 Superfast, can be tricky, as no one wants to cross that thin line between appealing and kitschy. Nonetheless, GMG Racing has managed to keep it on the eye-catching side by combing a few elements from different companies and adding them to this Italian stallion.
At a first glance, one could be tempted to say that it’s stock. But it isn’t. In fact, all you have to do is look at the rear spoiler, which comes from Novitec, to tell that it has been tweaked. The silver body has been protected by Protective Film Solutions’ clear wrapping, and the lowering springs come from Novitec too.

The ANRKY wheels and Capristo exhaust system is where the owner decided that enough is enough, and we cannot blame them for that, because the 812 Superfast really is super-fast.

Positioned in the middle of the car, under that long hood, is a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine. Part of a dying breed, it pumps out 800 PS (789 HP / 588 kW) at 8,500 rpm and 718 Nm (530 lb-ft) of torque at 7,000 rpm. The 812 Superfast can be revved all the way up to 8,900 rpm.

The power unit is hooked up to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that sends the power to the rear wheels. The quoted 0 to 100 kph (0-62 mph) sprint time is 2.9 seconds, and the model is no featherweight, as it tips the scales at 1,525 kg (3,362 lbs) dry. With a double dose of the brave pill and the open road ahead, drivers can keep the throttle down until the speedo will indicate 340 kph (211 mph).

The Ferrari 812 Superfast entered production in 2017 as the official successor of the F12berlinetta, which in turn replaced the 599 that was built between 2006 and 2012.
