ferrari 812 superfast

Ferrari will use this month's Universo Ferrari event to launch the F8 Tributo Spider and 812 Superfast Spider, leaked details have confirmed. Although the convertible F8 Tributo comes as no surprise, the 812 Superfast Spider will be the first roofless front-engined Ferrari to be series-produced since the Superamerica, a drop-top take on the 575 Maranello.

A new Ferrari supercar is set for launch in September, potentially with a roofless body and power from the 812 Superfast. The reveal will take place in Maranello, Italy on September 17, while the invitation bears the name 'Icona Ferrari'. The car appears to have the codename F176, while scuttlebutt has suggested it'll be based on the 812 Superfast.

Eagle-eyed CarAdvice contributor Derek Fung has spotted Ferrari testing a variant of the Ferrari 812 Superfast on the streets of New York City this morning. On first glance, the vehicle in these images appears to be a bog standard 812 Superfast wearing a funky camouflage, which could indicate that it's undergoing homologation testing for the US market. But, the vehicle could also be testing new technology for the brand and could be the initial basis for the confirmed Ferrari SUV.
