The 812 GTS is already regarded as a future classic amongst Ferrari fans - it’s the one to have, it’s much rarer than the Superfast, and it’s properly beautiful. And this week, thanks to friend of the channel, Mark, I get to drive it in anger for #DriveEveryFerrari.
This is a 2022 atelier car with historic Rosso Scuderia paintwork, a bespoke black roof, painted shields and ALL THE OPTIONS.
So, this week I am going to look forensically at this sumptuous current range Ferrari - its design, engine, aerodynamics, that retractable roof, the technology, quirky features, and of course I am going to take it for a drive, and let you have my impressions.
Is this the ultimate modern Ferrari? Would I have one over an 812 Superfast? Does the open roof really make THAT much difference? And just what is it like to give an 800bhp Ferrari the Beans? All these questions and more will be answered in this episode.
Thank you for watching

I've owned my 812 GTS for just over a year and already have over 9,000 miles on it! Mine is colored Verde Masoni which is a gold micro-flake base coat and greenish clear coat. It took me maybe 5,000 miles to get used to the power in first and second gear! The sound is amazing, especially with the rear window down if the top happens to be up.
I've mine me 😂 typical
@@Wooooosaaaaaa The point was that I actually drive mine and the amazing power takes many many miles to get used to.
Do a video on it, I would love to see the full speck and a review lol
@@rickledermanyour one lucky boy! Congratulations, you picked the most beautiful production ferrari on sale today! 💯💯👌👌👌👌👏👏
1st world problems, Rickle.
I took delivery of my 812 GTS 2 months ago. 1,500 glorious miles later, I can conclude it’s the best supercar I’ve ever driven. I drive exclusively in Race or CT OFF mode. The looks, the sound, the usability are all top notch. Unless the successor is something truly spectacular, this one is a permanent addition to my garage.
Only driving in those two modes will bite you some day. I have over 35k km between four 812's. They can be tricky when you don't expect them to be.
@@AB-80X congratulations on 4 812s!
@@AB-80X. They oversteer easily? What tires?
@@jonasbaine3538
You are misquoting me.
@@AB-80X ?? I asked a question. Didn’t make a statement. What do you mean by ‘tricky’?
One of the most underrated car channels on youtube.
You are very kind
Don’t think it will ever get much better than this. Incredible naturally aspirated V12 with gorgeous styling. The sound. The design. The engagement. Love how you really give the viewer a feel for how the car feels, drives and performs. Money no barrier; would have this in a heartbeat over nearly everything else available. “What do I not like. There’s nothing I don’t like” lol Too good. Nice one, Damian!
Mine is 2 months old and after a “midnight run” to Las Vegas .. it’s the absolute top gt car that checks all the boxes
The best looking Ferrari currently in the range - stunning car
Great review as a GTS owner you captured it 💯 you need one in your garage 😎 luv this series channel deserves more views
The 812 GTS is my primary motivation for wealth building. Saw one in Belgravia the other day (British Racing Green, 812 vanity plate) and, man, it really resonated with me. It's just a dream!
Just done a few hundred Ks in a 2023 one. Tracking it at the end of the month. More power but much more manageable than the TDF amazing car and yes the sound with the back window down is mmmmmmm!.
Oh yes 👍🏻
Gorgeous car but I think there’s better colour schemes for this model, which make it look sexier and more expensive ! Another great video Damian. 🎉
Agreed. I really don't like these in red. This one in particular is a terrible colour scheme. That interior 🤢
@@CarlAvoryMusic I didn’t wanna be that rude ! But there’s plenty of great colours for both exterior and interior in my opinion that are more exciting - but hey I can’t afford the car and he can - so he wins ! ❤️
I agree , this color scheme is ugly, hate black wheels
@@mikemartin3204 Agree Black wheels on almost all cars are the devil - two tone diamond cut always look classier. No matter what brand of car !
Rosso Scuderia is generally not a nice colour. It looks oddly "milky" and it really takes away all the shapes of a car. This is a very "my first Ferrari" spec.
There are so many great colours. This is the worst spec I have seen in a long time.
Looks and sounds out of this world . Thanks again guys. Malta sends regards.
Great series....you’re a lucky man to drive so many beautiful Ferrari’s
Thanks 👍
Drive every Ferrari = instance watch ❤❤❤
i sped the video up to 3x speed and you were right, you were able to take that corner at 3x speed without any issues. very impressive performance.
😂😂😂
@@TheCarGuysTV glad you got the joke. great video. i'll just add that in my experience, the front v12 cars are more fun than the mid-engine. i've got many laps at road atlanta in both TDF and LaF... the intake noise the sense of weight change, the drama of the tdf beats the pants off of the Laf. great choice on your 812 gts. enjoy in good health
I have one for the butler. He seems to enjoy it
😂
Never get tired of these reviews. 10/10. Thanks Damian.
I appreciate that!
The Peak the pinnacle of V12 Ferrari 👌🏻
What a car!
10:23 Where do you ever see anything like this body line? What a car.
More of this please! Fabulous video.
Perfection on wheels.Great video as usual, cheers.
The DEF is the definitive 'coffee table' book of Ferrari videos of unsurpassed quality, passion and fun - thank you once again Damian. Whether you love new or old or Ferraris the 812 GTS is the apex V12 GT that takes your breath away
Ok so watching this included a remake of the diner scene in when Harry met Sally ..quite well done
Those narrow roads in the UK gives me the jeepers. You need to take it to continental Europe, can’t see yourself enjoying 800HP on such roads in the UK
Truly amazing car. You could make this vid 10x longer,it’s just mesmerising!
100% where my lottery money would go for a first supercar 🙂 Hats off to the lucky folks below who own one.👍
Wonderful!
I fully share your emotion.
Great episode, Damo.
I was really hoping at the end you would say "You know what...This car is so fantastic I'm going to sell my Superfast and get one of these"
That would have been a show stopper ;)
Yes you need 1.. end of conversation...another epic..thanks for making my Friday night..
This car is absolutely gorgeous! Love the color combo and the carbon fiber options. Thanks for sharing! ❤
Wonderful vid, enjoyed the visceral experience thanks for sharing 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
I have owned mine (Azzuro Dino) for a little over 6 months. Great car indeed. Mine has carbon buckets which I love. RWS and DRS make a big difference vs the F12. High speed stability and maneuverability are great for the size. She is a big wide girl. Weight is nicely masked by the suspension and steering tuning. Brakes are good but feel very inferior to the CCMRs on my STO. Ferrari would not sell me a Competizione, so IMHO the 812GTS is the best sub $1MM Ferrari on can buy.
Can't understand your point on the brakes. One thing I will say, the GTS brakes needs a proper bedding which they did not get from the factory.
But compared to the STO? I have tracked the STO a few times, and driven them about 5000 km on the road. Hard to modulate, and so easily overheated on track. Ferrari brakes are not perfect, but I fail to see that they are worse than the STO brakes. I find the STO brakes to be a bit wooden and quite numb.
Fabulous review. Really enjoyed it. I've been lucky enough to see this very car twice at the Ferrari Owners Club Concours events . It's a stunning looking (and sounding) car. Are you now looking on the Internet for a pre owned 812 GTS ? Keep up the good work. Andy. 🚗😁
[8:50] I could be listening to that engine starting on a loop for ever.
Stunning car and great ‘honest’ review!!
They are quite simply stunning nice one mate
Lovely to see, the grey and chocolate looks amazing. Cheers gents 👍
Like James Bond 007, you know that The Car Guys (Damian) 'WILL RETURN'! 👍🏻👏🏻😄 (Not sure about the 'Mobile Aero' though, that particular element sounded like Ferrari BS!?) 😜 ...No arguing with the performance though: HOLY S😵😵😵! Also, your passion for this lovely motor is infectious! 👍🏻
Great. I was having a wonderfully weekend till being reminded of this absoute beautiful monster I don't have!
I've saíd it before but i've never liked a Front engined Ferrari in Red. They always look better in a darker metallic hue imho. Absolutely Epic car mind..👍👍👍
Lovely review 👌👌👌
Thank you
Thank you Damian for this video, besides the Monza and the Daytona SP1 , this is my dream Ferrari. Don't waste your time on those older Ferraris with constant issues (360,430, 458 etc.), just buy this.
I love the 812 GTS. However it’s not a manual like my F430 without any constant issues, they don’t thread through narrow Yorkshire B roads with the same involvement and cost 3X, which is a lot to go wrong in the 430 to make up that difference. Mind you I can see one sat next to it. Next purchase 👍
Wow! I love the 812 and was waiting for your review of the GTS. I could feel the passion. Yes, a great video full of information and the knowledge that a true Ferrari expert is giving a Lambo owner the nudge to go and buy their first Ferrari!! Well done on a fantastic video!
Thank you CAR GUY 👍🇬🇧
Yeah definitely get one of them in your garage Damien, what machine
Big up Mark for the loan 😀
Beautiful? No. Handsome? To a degree. Its been a long time since a ferrari was beautiful.
296 GTB
@@grumpy9478its the best looking in a while, I'll admit, especially with black a pillars. But in my opinion its not beautiful, its a touch too generic.
Oof to my eye it’s way too large and looks to me like someone at Hyundai read a textbook on how to design a Ferrari. It makes Damian look like a 1/24 scale action figure in a 1/18 model car.
Beauty is and will always be in the eye 👁🗨 of the beholder !..
I happen to disagree. I think the 812 lineup as a whole are rather beautiful looking cars, and yes, that even goes for the Competizione.
Love it. Love this series. And that’s all I have to say about that.
Still prefer the coupe over the GTS, but love the GTS too! And 211mp/h is not top speed is the electronic limit! Great content as always!
By the way the weight of this car in running order is well below 1800kg, not above as you said!
Also not much point having a convertible in the uk as the weather is bad so often..never understood why you’d pay a premium for 120 kilos to be added to the car
It is not electronically limited to 211 mph. It's an arbitrary number Ferrari uses for many cars. I have had mine to 351 km/h GPS.
I have a 2017 Porsche 911 manual but I want a Ferrari stablemate
Good idea, obi-wank.
I could see how much you really enjoyed driving this GTS. Maybe it could be a V12 addition to your garage. Anyway… Thanks for some excellent videos, with great CarGuys style and uniqueness.
Wishing you both a very merry Christmas and looking forward to some awesome videos in 2024. Cheers, TonyG.
Merry Christmas to you too, Tony
What a monster!! love it
Lucky to have had both the SF and the GTS. The one still with me is the GTS. Brilliant GT car. The SF tried too much to be a sportcar which it really isn't...
Ferrari will highly disagree. It actually sits within the sports car line of cars with Ferrari.
One thing that had me disappointed was the lack of playfulness the Superfast had. The Superfast was such a happy car. Fixed it with Novitec springs.
Man, I gotta say I love the COMPETIZIONE ❤
2:56 I know they say you can’t go wrong with a red Ferrari, and considering all the wonderful colours the 812 can come in, this guy has gone absolutely bang on with the colour spec on this. The red against the black looks absolutely tremendous. One can only assume why he didn’t go for the black tail pipes, but if he likes it that’s fine. It’s certainly better than the shitter I’m running around in.
Have you seen a GTS in this colour in the flesh? Not very good. No shapes, and looks "bloated".
What a car! Have you considered driving a Novitec N Largo they sound insane!
Excellent review! My 812 GTS is currently being built in Verde Zeltweg. Mine will promptly receive the Novitec exhaust to cure the anemic tone required to appease the tree hugging simps. Very much looking forward to adding it to my collection. I do wonder about the black roof and A pillars in this example. I’m normally a fan of that contrast, as I have it on my SF90 AF spider, F8 and 296 GTS. Not sure I like it on a GT car. But, I’m certain my opinion matters not to the owner😉
What bloody lovely colour. You lucky lucky man. It really pops in the sunlight..👍👍😍😍
Dang! That must be one heck of a late allocation. I received my second GTS in April 2023, and that was a build I locked in, in August 2022.
My Ferrari 812 in due time in Jesus name thank you God
Wonderful
Thank you
WOW WOW WOW
The car st the start in the metallic grey colour looks much nicer than the red one .
I don’t think the 812 suits the usual Ferrari red at all , especially with the black wheels .
You can't beat the sounds of a N/A Ferrari engine. When you see these on the road, they do look big, but I guess all modern supercars have grown these days. A future Ferrari classic.
This reminds me about the TDF, too bad you got rid of it.
812 and Iconia series are best looking since piinfsrrina days
Great in depth video on the 812 GTS Best yet
Much appreciated!
I used to know a bloke called Al Cantara.
I’m going to buy one of these.. either in Red or White…wonder if they depreciate that much on a yearly basis …?
I doubt it - v highly prized model
@@TheCarGuysTV
Hard to say what will happen when the successor is launched on May 4th. It will be based on the same platform, but be more inspired by the 365 Daytona. It will have an effect on the prices.
Epic beanage sounds! 😂
The only thing i missed in this review were the mpg figures. 🤣
Can’t decide which one would be better for me to buy hardtop or convertible to pop down to Tesco in other supermarkets are available 😎👍
just logged off, G&T in hand. happy weekend. anything coming from the watchguys?
Amazing love it
Do you want to hear stupid? I had an allocation and decided I didn’t want it and gave the allocation to a friend… now I feel like an idiot. Lesson learned.😢
Ouch! I feel your pain, CK
Trouble is. We live in a mainly B road country. So is a heavy wide 800ps car much use? On our motorways you could lose your licence in 2nd gear.
I'm only saying these things to convince myself it's not so bad after all that I can't afford to buy one 😅
🤔 Yes, but let's not let the truth get in the way of a good story !. When where these super cars ever built to be practical transport ?..
Loved the review, what is your source on the production numbers?
Loved it
Damian, you make an O face in any car when you accelerate. So what’s so special about this one?
Gonna show her my o face
Guys what tires have you used on Porsche 930? I have hard time selecting right 245/45/16 tires. The Pirellis P-Zero have bad rep as the Yokohama A008P.
Do you prefer the bucket seats?
I want one. It's the only Ferrari I would sell my children and my 575M for.. you have to have one in the Car Guys garage.
Great video and car. Not keen on it in red and those shields on the number plates 🙈
Strangely I prefer the styling of the 812 Berlinetta over the GTS .. personal preference I guess
I prefer the f12 , I don't like the look of 812 in any way
Lovely Car 😂
Love the video (as always), but the nit picking obsessive in me couldn't help bit notice the weird mismatch of typefaces in the acceleration stats at 5:34 #whatisupwiththatcurly2
Damn, you have some seriously narrow roads over there.
Lovely car. How many hours will you now spend shopping around and reminding yourself that ‘it’s just money’?
❤
yup. sold. think for me grey-clay. never before been an F12/812 fan. is it lairy ??
Damien. I’m looking to get one in the new year, not sure of what colour looks best. Any ideas
I doubt you are. The order books closed in October of 2021...
I paid extra and got a V13 in mine. Its one better.
Gorgeous car👌👌👌
Did you hack his GPS to see if he had been pulling up at the dogging spot in it ?
Skrt!
Where's Jason?
Wait until you try an 812 Competizione………
Wait for what exactly? Do you think it will automatically be better? As an owner of both, it isn't.
Anyone else finding the sound kinda underwhelming? The last gen f12 and ff had a really high pitch wail which gave you a real sense of excitement and urgency. This new v12 just sounds grumpier and lazier tbh.
It’s the result of GPF filters which Ferrari are required to fit. They muffle the exhaust. They can be replaced with after market exhaust and you get that scream back…
Sorry but no. With the roof down, those buttresses just look wrong. With the roof up it's pretty, the lines flow really well. But with it down, it looks like someone has set about the car with a chainsaw. So you might as well stick with the superfast.
If only 2 seats in this 812 , Why Ferrari don't make it middle engine ?
Is it wrong to say that this car has too much red on it? 😆 Somehow these look better in any other colour but Ferrari red imo.
The non-metallic reds makes these front engined V12's look big and bloated, as they take away the shapes.
Am I the only one in the comments who doesnt own this car??! 😅
😂😂😂😂
No. Damien is here too.
Ever wondered how Damon’s “sex” noises sound?…….13:53-13:59
😂😂😂
