For half a century, Ferrari's rich lineage of front-engine V12
spiders-which began in 1948 with the Le Mans-winning 166 MM and
extended through 1969 with the introduction of the legendary GTS/4
Daytona-only existed in a handful of limited-production models.
That changed in September 2019 when Ferrari introduced the 812 GTS
as the latest series-production front-engine V12 convertible from
Maranello. The new model shared its mechanicals with the flagship
812 Superfast, including its naturally-aspirated 6.5-liter V12
engine, developing 800 cavalli vapore, which equates to an
astronomical 789 imperial horses.
This 812 GTS, chassis number 274734, was finished in sophisticated
Nero D.S. over Cuoio leather, and its personalization plate and
digital window sticker document a lavish order. Options totaling
$61,292 included abundant carbon fiber applied to the door sills,
inner door handles, central bridge, dashboard inserts, and Driver
Zone with LED shift lights. The cabin is further appointed with
full-electric quilted-style seats, a leather-trimmed center console
and steering wheel in Cuoio, contrasting Nero special stitching
leather details, Cavallini embroidered on the headrests, a yellow
rev counter, and a high-power Hi-Fi system. Outside, 20-inch forged
diamond-finish wheels with carbon fiber center caps frame gold
brake calipers. They are joined by black tailpipe tips, and
Scuderia Ferrari shields, and front and parking cameras which round
out the specification.
Delivered new through Ferrari of Tampa Bay in Palm Harbor, Florida,
the Spider sold to its first owner in March 2022 and was registered
in Naples. The car was serviced on three occasions at Ferrari
Maserati of West Palm Beach before passing to a second Florida
owner in March 2023 at 913 miles. Maintenance was then entrusted to
Ferrari of Fort Lauderdale, including services at 1,729 and 3,037
miles. The car relocated to California in mid-2025 where it joined
its third documented caretaker. The Newport Beach dealer has since
serviced it three times, most recently in June 2026 at 3,856 miles,
when the battery and serpentine belt were replaced.
In an era dominated by forced induction and electrification, this
V12 spider delivers a mechanical symphony that crescendos to 8,900
rpm-an experience made all the more visceral with its retractable
hardtop stowed. This nicely preserved example, with a carefully
documented life of fewer than 4,000 miles, presents a superb
opportunity to acquire one of Maranello's most evocative modern
V12s.
