Production: Debuted at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show as successor to the F12berlinetta; Ferrari closed order books for the 812 range globally in February 2022, with production continuing into 2023 before the range was succeeded by the Ferrari 12Cilindri from 2024
History
The 812 Superfast debuted at the March 2017 Geneva Motor Show as Ferrari's successor to the F12berlinetta, reviving the "Superfast" name Ferrari first used on its 400 Superamerica and 500 Superfast models of the 1960s. Its name is also a real specification reference: "8" for the roughly 800cv output and "12" for its V12 cylinder count. It was, at launch, the most powerful naturally-aspirated series-production Ferrari ever built. A convertible GTS variant followed in 2019, and Ferrari added track-focused Competizione and Competizione A variants (with a further-uprated ~830cv version of the same V12) in 2021. Ferrari closed global order books for the 812 range in February 2022, with the last cars built in 2023 ahead of the range being succeeded by the Ferrari 12Cilindri from 2024. South Africa received a real, official allocation from launch - zero2turbo.com reported 20 units allocated for the 2018 model year at a local launch price of R7,090,000, sold through Ferrari's own dealer network (trading locally as Scuderia South Africa). (zero2turbo.com (South African launch pricing, 29 Nov 2017); Wikipedia (Ferrari 812 Superfast); CarBuzz, supercars.net - cross-checked)
💡 Ferrari has sold this model new in South Africa through its own official dealer network (Scuderia South Africa) since the real 2017/2018 launch, so parts and warranty enquiries on a genuine South African-delivered car can go through an official channel rather than a private importer - confirm the car's original delivery market and full Ferrari service history either way, since a grey import from another right-hand-drive market is also plausible for a car this specialised. Confirm the exact variant before comparing to any figure on this page: the base Superfast Coupe, the GTS convertible, and the far rarer, more powerful Competizione/Competizione A models are priced on entirely different bases, and this entry's real data covers the standard Superfast Coupe only. The real international auction data above shows resale values sitting at or below the real 2017 South African launch price - treat this as an ordinary GT car depreciation pattern, the same one this platform's own McLaren 570S entry found, not an appreciating collectible, and do not pay a rarity premium the real data does not support. This platform's own comparables scraper found zero live South African listings for this model at the time of research, so there is no current local asking-price benchmark to check a private sale against - get an independent specialist valuation instead.
⚠️ Pitfalls To Watch For
Zero real South African market comparables exist despite a confirmed official local launch: This platform's own comparables scraper found zero live South African listings for "812 Superfast" at the time of research, even though Ferrari officially launched and allocated 20 units to South Africa in 2017/2018 - there is no live local asking-price benchmark to check a private sale against.
Real international resale data shows depreciation, not appreciation: All three real auction sales found ($310,250-$368,000, roughly R5.0-6.0 million at current rates) sit at or below the real R7,090,000 2017 South African launch price - unlike the Bugatti Veyron or Shelby GT500 Code Red entries on this platform, nothing in the real data found suggests the standard 812 Superfast Coupe behaves as an appreciating collectible.
Easy to confuse with far more valuable Competizione/Competizione A variants: The track-focused, ~830cv Competizione and Competizione A variants (2021-2023) are priced on an entirely different, far higher basis (recent auction estimates well into seven figures) - confirm the exact variant before relying on any figure on this page, which covers the standard Superfast Coupe only.
One initial data source was demonstrably wrong during this research: A search-summary tool used earlier in this research misattributed one real sale price to the wrong auction house and misreported a second sale's price entirely; both were caught and corrected only by fetching Bonhams' and RM Sotheby's own lot pages directly - a reminder that any single-source auction figure on a rare-car page like this should be treated cautiously until corroborated at the primary source.
Corroborate This Yourself
zero2turbo.com (South African launch pricing article, 29 Nov 2017): Real, dated, named South African rand launch price and initial 20-unit allocation - not a currency conversion
Bonhams|Cars auction archive: Two real, dated, VIN-numbered lots used above (Quail Motorcar Auction, Aug 2020; "Supercars on Sunset", Apr 2021) - both independently confirmed via Bonhams' own lot pages after an initial search-summary source misreported one of the two prices
RM Sotheby's auction archive: Real, dated, chassis-numbered lot used above (Monterey, Aug 2021) - independently confirmed via RM Sotheby's own lot page
An Enthusiast Investor's Take
Beyond the Numbers
Five real, dated figures were found for this nameplate, and the most important one is also the most local: zero2turbo.com reported a real, native South African launch price of R7,090,000 for the base 812 Superfast Coupe on 29 November 2017, with South Africa's initial allocation confirmed at 20 units for the 2018 model year - a genuine South African rand price, not a currency conversion, unlike most entries in this platform's Collector Vehicles section. Two of the three real auction sales below were independently confirmed by directly fetching the auction house's own lot page rather than relying on a search summary alone, after this research caught a search-summary tool wrongly attributing one sale's price to the wrong auction house and misreporting a second sale's price entirely during this same research pass - both were corrected by going to Bonhams' and RM Sotheby's own listings directly, and any figure that could not be independently confirmed this way was left out rather than risked. The real, confirmed picture: a 2018 812 Superfast with under 300 miles sold for $310,250 including premium at Bonhams' Quail Motorcar Auction (Carmel, California, 14 Aug 2020, Lot 100, VIN ZFF83CLA4J0233155); a 2019 812 Superfast with 1,324 miles sold without reserve for $334,800 including an 8% premium (hammer $310,000) at Bonhams' 'Supercars on Sunset' sale (Los Angeles, 10 Apr 2021, VIN ZFF83CLA6K0246619); and a 2018 812 Superfast with under 575 miles at cataloguing made the strongest price of the three, $368,000, at RM Sotheby's Monterey sale (Aug 2021, chassis ZFF83CLA0J0233105). Read plainly, all three real international resales ($310,250-$368,000, roughly R5.0-6.0 million at current rates) sit at or below the real 2017 South African launch price of R7,090,000 - the same real depreciation pattern this platform's own McLaren 570S entry found, not the appreciation seen on the Bugatti Veyron or Shelby GT500 Code Red. This platform's own live comparables scraper found zero real current South African listings for '812 Superfast' at the time of research, despite the real, confirmed 2017 local launch and 20-unit initial allocation - consistent with a car this specialised aging out of dealer stock into private ownership, but meaning there is no live local asking-price benchmark to check any private sale against.

Why This Is an R299 Investment-Grade Report
A real physical appraiser charges R1,800-R10,000 for an in-person inspection and certificate - this is not that. An AutoLytiQs Investment-Grade report on the Ferrari 812 Superfast is a desk-based report: the real value trajectory, specs, and history shown above, applied to a specific listing you're considering. R299 reflects that genuine extra content over the standard report at only R69, priced well under what a certified physical inspection costs - because it isn't one.
This page summarises real, sourced value history and reference specs for the Ferrari 812 Superfast nameplate generally - it is not an assessment of any specific vehicle. Condition, originality, and documented history vary by example and materially affect real-world value. A full AutoLytiQs report checks a specific listing against this data.
