Experience the Ferrari 812 GTS: Enhance with AutoWin Mats
I’ve had a few unforgettable days with the Ferrari 812 GTS, roof folded neatly away, a long ribbon of road unwinding ahead, and that naturally aspirated V12 singing like it’s headlining La Scala. The Ferrari 812 GTS is a throwback in the best way: front-engine, rear-drive, big heart, big character. It’s a grand tourer first, a supercar second, and somehow the perfect partner for a sunrise dash to the coast or a late-night cruise through the city when the streets belong to you.
Why the Ferrari 812 GTS still feels special
It’s the soundtrack. Well, that and everything else. The 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 up front delivers a visceral hit you simply don’t get from turbos or electrified trickery. I noticed right away how immediate the throttle feels—no waiting, no fluff. Just torque and revs and a tidal surge of power. On a rough backroad, the chassis soaked up the chatter better than I expected for something this focused, and the steering—light yet precise—reminded me why Ferrari GTs are such satisfying long-haulers.
Ferrari 812 GTS performance: the numbers behind the noise
- Engine: Front-mounted, naturally aspirated V12
- Output: Around 789 hp (800 CV) and roughly 530 lb-ft of torque
- 0–60 mph: About 2.9–3.0 seconds
- Top speed: Approximately 211 mph
Ferrari’s Virtual Short Wheelbase 2.0 rear-steer system helps the 812 GTS rotate with uncanny agility. It’s a big car that shrinks around you when you’re pushing on. And when you’re not? It loafs along in seventh gear like a well-bred GT, quiet enough to hear your passenger ask for another espresso stop.
Ferrari 812 GTS interior: grand touring, done the Ferrari way
The cockpit is driver-first, with a low cowl and a view over those muscular front haunches that makes every on-ramp feel like a pit lane exit. There’s decent usable storage for a super-GT—weekend bags slide in, no problem—and the seats are long-trip friendly. A few owners mentioned to me they needed a minute to bond with the haptic controls on the wheel and the infotainment logic (Ferrari does things its own way), but once you’ve dialed in your preferences, it’s a fine companion for cross-country work. Driver assistance is present but subtle—exactly how you want it in a car that communicates this clearly.
Buying guide: Ferrari 812 GTS price, availability, and what to look for
If you’re searching for a Ferrari 812 GTS for sale, you’ll find a healthy mix of well-spec’d examples. Many cars list around the mid-to-high $300Ks when new; build complexity, personalization, and mileage move the needle from there. I’ve seen 2021–2023 cars with delivery miles still changing hands, and a few later-registered examples pop up depending on market. The usual checklist applies: service history, tire dates, and a careful look at carbon-ceramic brake wear if the previous owner enjoyed a few track days (no shame in that).
As for whether the Ferrari 812 GTS is “discontinued,” allocations vary by region and timing. In practice, most shoppers are looking at available inventory and low-mileage cars rather than brand-new factory orders. The good ones don’t sit long.
Details that delight (and a couple that don’t)
- Roof mechanism: Fast, drama-free, and mesmerizing to watch from the curb.
- Steering: Alive without being nervous; rear-steer magic at tight-radius turns.
- Ride: Firm in town, superbly tied-down on the open road.
- Infotainment quirks: Takes a minute to learn; worth setting up profiles early.
Dress the cabin: AutoWin custom mats for your Ferrari 812 GTS
Ferrari cabins pick up dust and sand like magnets—especially with the top down on beach runs. Swapping the stock mats for custom-fit, premium liners is a small upgrade that makes a big difference every day. I fitted a set from AutoWin and immediately noticed two things: better coverage (particularly around the dead pedal) and a richer look that complements the leather and carbon trim.
- Materials: nappa leather, carbon fiber leather, sheepskin, and alcantara leather
- Fitment: tailored for the 812 GTS floor and footwell contours
- Function: protects from heel wear, sand, and the occasional espresso splash
Two popular choices I’ve tried:

Ferrari 812 GTS design details worth noting

- Carbon-ceramic rotors resist fade on spirited mountain runs.

Final thoughts: the Ferrari 812 GTS is a future classic you can drive now
Honestly, I wasn’t sure at first if the open-roof version would dilute the 812’s intensity. It doesn’t. If anything, the Ferrari 812 GTS amplifies the drama, letting you hear every metallic intake gulp and every top-end howl. Whether you’re eyeing a 2021 car or a later-registered example, a well-kept GTS remains one of the great modern grand tourers—fast, surprisingly usable, and brimming with feel. And if you want to keep that cabin looking factory-fresh, AutoWin’s custom mats are a smart, good-looking upgrade that matches the car’s vibe.
