The tachometer, which sits within the new multi-adjustable digital dashboard, is available in six colours, including yellow and red. The 812 Superfast has been designed for road use first, track use second, which means it offers GT levels of practicality.

The 812 is an almost faultless supercar, but not quite as good a long-distance proposition as the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera.

The 812 Superfast will also come with a complimentary scheduled maintenance plan for the first seven years of its life. The 75-per-cent-new V12 motor will grab the headlines – and rightly so – but the engine is merely one part of a supremely effective package. If you’ve spent a quarter of million pounds on a V12-engined Ferrari, you’re unlikely to care too much about fuel economy or how much it will cost to tax.

The 812 Superfast will not be subjected to the Euro NCAP crash safety test, but there’s enough technical wizardry to keep you out of trouble.

Merely statistics, you might say, but we’d go as far as saying the 812 Superfast changes gear better than any other road car in history. It remains comfortable enough to be enjoyed on most roads, but isn't the most practical proposition.
