V12 is the king! Ferrari 812 GTS
Roadster
Do not let the V8 engine specialize in the front, the
roadster with the front V12 engine configuration, returning after 50 years of
failure, Ferrari 812 GTS with 800cv maximum output power (788), dominates the
world's most powerful production of roadsters status. It's stunning foldable
hardtop convertible design allows the Ferrari 812 GTS to have a more spacious
trunk space in its class, allowing easy opening and closing in just 14 seconds.
Also, the new car is equipped with an electric rear window. When the
the convertible is opened, the raised window can effectively play the windproof
effect; when the convertible is closed, the window can still enjoy the unique
sound of the engine.

The previous generation of the Ferrari
812 GTS
The legend of the Ferrari Ferrari V12 convertible is related
to many classic prancing models, dating back to the 166 MM model that was born
in 1948. As a pure GT racing car, the Ferrari 166 MM model won the world's two
most famous endurance races in 1949, namely Mille Miglia 1000 races and 24
Hours of Le Mans Liman 24 hours. Endurance race. Before the advent of the 812
GTS, the last model in the series was the 365 GTS4 in 1969, also known as the
"Daytona Spider." Its name comes from the legendary Ferrari Ferrari's
legendary record in the 1967 24 Hours of Daytona Daytona 24 Hours. At that
time, two Ferrari 330 P4s crossed the finish line with the 412 P of a NART
team, which took the top three glory of the event.
Since the release of the 365 GTS4, Ferrari has not yet
launched a production-oriented convertible with the same V12 engine
configuration. Only four limited-edition models have been released, namely: 550
Barchetta Pininfarina launched in 2000 and launched in 2005. Superamerica, SA
Aperta launched in 2010 and F60 America released in recent years. Among them,
the F60 America model also produced only 10 limited editions in 2014 to
celebrate the 60th anniversary of Ferrari's entry into the US market.

above the rear window, effectively avoiding excessive air pressure behind the
passenger's head.
The smooth beveled side profile
The 812 GTS is built by the Ferrari Styling Centre Ferrari
Design Center based on the 812 Superfast. It perfectly reflects the Ferrari's
family-style design vocabulary without changing the body size, interior space
and comfort of the front V12 sports car. A model of dynamic and elegant. The
812 GTS presents a smooth, hatched profile that is reminiscent of the 365 GTB4
(Daytona) introduced in 1968.
The visual effect of the short tail, the sharp body fold
line, the powerful wheel arch shape and the powerful V12 engine complement each
other, fully demonstrating the identity of the 812 GTS high-performance sports
car. Like the convertible version of the 812 Superfast, the entire rear end of
the 812 GTS, including the canopy, trunk, and cockpit rear canopy, has been redesigned.
The folding unit of the convertible is hidden underneath the two arched
designs, accentuating the smooth and harmonious aesthetic of the body. The
arched design creates a visual effect of forwarding dive while giving the side
window a signature look that can be seen at a glance with the Berlinetta. When
the convertible is opened, the canopy trim can be placed under the canopy at
the rear of the cockpit.
In terms of design, the new car does not follow the rear
wheel arch with air split design used by the 812 Superfast. Instead, the rear
diffuser is redesigned to achieve the same superior aerodynamic performance
through the addition of fins. The new 812 GTS is also equipped with a new
three-dimensional exclusive multi-spoke forged rim, available in Diamond-finish
diamond, Liquid Silver and Grigio Scuro.

Smooth aerodynamics
In terms of aerodynamics, the Lema design team faced two
major challenges in designing the 812 GTS. The first priority was how to give
the ultimate performance of the hardtop model when the convertible was closed,
and ensure the best when the convertible was opened. Ride comfort.
To achieve pure aerodynamic performance, the rear
end design is further improved, not only the foldable hardtop convertible
design but also the storage space after opening. The hood cover at the rear of
the cockpit is designed to be exquisite and dynamic. Most importantly, the rear
diffuser incorporates a three-wing design that produces efficient and powerful
suction at the bottom of the underbody, providing more downforce for the
vehicle. As a result, aerodynamics experts have effectively compensated for the
downforce loss caused by the removal of the 812 Superfast rear wheel arch shunt
pipe, which is located behind the side corner window.
On the other hand, the rear flank venting design is designed
to reduce windage and effectively remove excess pressure away from the wheel
arch. It is the excellence of the details that make the 812 GTS still have
excellent ride comfort when the convertible is opened. To ensure that
passengers in the car can talk freely even when the car is galloping, aerodynamic
engineers delve into the noise caused by the airflow inside the car and
minimize it as much as possible. Like the LaFerrari Aperta design, the two
small L-shaped flaps on the upper edge of the windshield create concentrated
eddy currents that create an outflow vortex above the rear window, effectively
preventing excessive air pressure behind the passenger's head. In this area,
the aerodynamics experts created a hollow channel, a top-mounted airfoil in the
the internal structure on the front side of the two arched designs above the seat,
directing the oncoming airflow to the rear canopy area of the cockpit,
prompting the cockpit The air pressure releases and increases the pressure of
the airflow separation in the downstream area of the windshield to improve
the air force efficiency and its stability.

the canopy of the rear of the cockpit
Engine output power up to 800cv
As the convertible version of the 812 Superfast, the Ferrari
812 GTS continues the excellent technical specifications and outstanding
performance of the hardtop model. The V12 natural intake engine produces a
maximum output of up to 800 cv and a power of 788 hp at 8500 rpm, making it the
top in its class. With a peak torque of 718 Nm, the 812 GTS has an amazing
acceleration performance and is almost as powerful as the 812 Superfast. At the
same time, the engine's maximum speed can reach 8900 rpm, giving the 812 GTS
uncompromising dynamic driving performance.
Like the 812 Superfast, the new model's extraordinary power
performance stems from its superior engine design and innovative technology,
such as a direct fuel injection system with a pressure of 350 bar and
geometrically variable intake control from the F1 natural intake engine.
Device. As a result, engine displacement has also increased from 6.2L to
6.5L, while the maximum output power has been increased while ensuring that
the engine has the same outstanding start-up response at low speeds. The high-pressure
injection system enhances the fuel atomization effect and effectively reduces
the amount of particulate matter released by the vehicle before the catalytic
converter reaches the operating temperature. The new car is also equipped with
a GPF gasoline particle screening program, equipped with an automatic
a start-stop function that automatically controls the engine's operating state as
the vehicle travels, ensuring that the engine meets various emission
regulations.
Also, the Manettino knob is used to change the
driving mode to stimulate the engine's potential, and in all driving
situations, it brings a passionate and passionate driving experience. The
driver can easily control the accelerator pedal to obtain a smooth and abundant
power output covering the entire speed range. While enjoying sufficient torque,
the driver can enjoy the pleasure of driving the red horse. From the torsion
curve of the 812 GTS engine, it can be seen that the engine is running without
sacrificing torque distribution to increase power output. From 3,500 rpm, 80%
of the torque can be used. Even if the engine is running at a low speed, the
vehicle's start-up response and flexibility are excellent.
From the engine power curve, it can be found that before
reaching the peak of the engine speed of 8,500 rpm, the power continues to rise
and becomes stronger as the engine speed increases, and with low inertia, with
a constant sense of acceleration and power. The impressive overall power output
and the enhanced 6500-8900 rpm power curve make for a passionate driving
experience. The 812 GTS has a constant power output at high engine speeds to
ensure stable rides on the track. Sex and strong performance.
The dual-clutch transmission uses an efficient shift control
strategy to help enhance athletic performance. With the Manettino knob for a
more sporty model, the shifting speed of the gearbox is also significantly
improved, and the shift response time is faster, resulting in the excellent
driving experience. By shortening the range of gear ratios, the 812 GTS
provides the driver with immediate and powerful throttle response.
The shape of the exhaust system of the new model has also
been carefully designed to show the ultimate and unique sound when the
convertible is open. Also, the geometry of the central extension tube
results in a more precise firing sequence. The exhaust manifold pipe connected
to the integrated catalytic converter adopts a six-in-one equal length design,
which helps to improve the sound wave effect of the first stage ignition.
Regardless of the driving mode, the driver and passenger can listen to the full
and thick sound of the V12 engine. When the convertible is turned on, the sound
effect is even more shocking.

window and the venting vent at the top of the rear wing can effectively reduce
the wind resistance and effectively guide the excess pressure away from the
wheel arch
Overall performance is similar to
Berlinetta
The R&D goal of the 812 GTS model is to maintain the
performance of the Berlinetta in terms of acceleration performance, response
time and handling sensitivity, bringing a sense of speed and strength. All
parts and control systems continue to be configured in the 812 Superfast, so
they have the same amazing handling. While adhering to the traditional concept
of the Yuma brand, the 812 GTS model successfully combines many electronic
vehicle dynamic assist systems to fully exploit the potential performance of
the vehicle. These include Ferrari's patented technologies, such as the SSC 5.0
side slip angle control system and the PCV virtual short wheelbase 2.0 system,
which make the vehicle's handling performance and response more flexible.
Other powerful driver assistance systems include: Ferrari
Peak Performance - When the vehicle is cornering, this feature alerts the
the driver that the vehicle is approaching the limit of grip through the steering wheel
torque, helping to control the vehicle's dynamic state. Ferrari Power Oversteer
Ferrari Steering Over-Power Auxiliary System - In the event of over-steering,
which often occurs during accelerated cornering, this feature provides the driver
feedback through steering wheel torque to assist the driver in adjusting the
steering wheel angle to correct body dynamics. The calibrated
magnetorheological damper suspension creates a flexible suspension response
like the Berlinetta model for the 812 GTS, without the impact of the 75 kg
weight gain from the chassis reinforcement. As a result, the overall performance
of the 812 GTS is very similar to that of the Berlinetta, with 0-100 km/h
acceleration in just 3 seconds, and an acceleration time of 0-200 km/h in just
8.3 seconds. The top speed is as high as 340 km/h with the 812 Superfast.
