​In a world shifting toward hybridization and electrification, the Ferrari 812 GTS stands as a roaring tribute to tradition. With its 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12, it might just be the final chapter in Ferrari’s iconic front-engine V12 lineage — and that’s precisely why collectors and purists are taking notice.

 

A Masterpiece of Engineering

The 812 GTS produces 789 horsepower and 530 lb-ft of torque, revving all the way to 8,900 RPM without the help of turbochargers or electric motors. This makes it one of the most powerful front-engine convertibles ever made, delivering an unmistakable Ferrari soundtrack — raw, unfiltered, and deeply emotional.

 

Unlike newer hybrid models, the 812 GTS doesn't rely on electrification to fill performance gaps. Instead, it offers a visceral, analog driving experience that's becoming increasingly rare in today's market.

 

Convertible Without Compromise

As the open-top version of the 812 Superfast, the GTS features a retractable hardtop that opens in just 14 seconds, even at speeds up to 28 mph. Whether you're cruising through Dallas or carving up back roads, the top-down experience amplifies the symphony of that high-revving V12.

 

Ferrari engineers maintained near-perfect weight distribution and handling by reworking the aerodynamics, ensuring no compromise in performance compared to the coupe.

 

A Future Classic?

With Ferrari's future roadmap pointing to hybrids like the SF90 Stradale and 296 GTB, the 812 GTS may represent the end of an era. It’s likely to become a highly sought-after collector’s car, not just for its performance but for what it symbolizes — the last of the naturally aspirated V12 Ferraris.
