Currently reading: 2017 Ferrari 812 Superfast due in Geneva with final naturally aspirated V12

Power output could close in on the 769bhp of the Ferrari F12tdf; rear steering and dual-screen infotainment also expected

The Ferrari 812 Superfast has been revealed - these were the final spy shots we saw before it was revealed, when it was referred to as the F12 M.

The Ferrari F12 M will make its debut at the Geneva motor show next month with a naturally aspirated V12 that produces more than 750bhp.

The F12 Berlinetta successor's engine will be the last unassisted 12-cylinder unit built by Ferrari, as well as the most powerful used in a series production model. It's essentially the 6.3-litre unit used in the LaFerrari, but without that car's extra hybrid electric power, and is only beaten for power by the 769bhp V12 of the limited-run F12tdf.

This performance boost should ensure the F12 M will shorten the current F12’s 3.1sec 0-62mph time. It will also use Ferrari's ‘virtual short wheelbase’ active rear steering system, as seen on the F12tdf, to improve agility.

Evolutionary design updates will be applied to the F12 M, with new lights and a restyled grille the most distinctive exterior changes. Inside, the F12 M will gain the dual-screen infotainment set-up of the new GT4C Lusso along with a range of other updates to the interior.

The car's production run is expected to continue trends seen with other models and last around five years. A limited-run special edition version will also be produced.

Pricing is expected to grow significantly from the F12's current entry-level £241,073 figure, due to the F12 M's status as the last atmospheric V12 model.

what Ferrari need to do.....

is make their cars wider. Not wide enough for our congested roads. Far too practical at the moment.
