The successor to the Ferrari 812 Superfast has been spied testing once again and according to the latest reports, may debut during the weekend of May’s Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix.

YouTuber and car spotter Varryx recently visited Ferrari’s headquarters in Maranello and while there, came across a heavily-disguised prototype of the Italian marque’s new flagship Grand Tourer. Although this prototype is bathed in black body cladding, there is no hiding the car’s true identity. Varryx also spotted an older prototype wearing the body of the smaller Roma.

Much like the 812 Superfast, F12, and 599 to come before it, the replacement to the 812 will be powered by a naturally-aspirated V12. A recent report suggests that this engine will be derived from the marque’s current 6.5-liter mill, but upgraded to produce more than the 819 hp it does in the 812 Competizione and the 829 hp of the Daytona SP3. We suspect it will have somewhere around 850 PS or 838 hp, a remarkable figure given that it will have to meet current emissions requirements and do so without any form of hybridization.
In November last year, well-respected Ferrari historian and restorer Marcel Massini suggested that the new model – codenamed the F167 – would premiere on May 2 in Miami. This location is thought to have been chosen not only because the Miami Grand Prix is running from May 3-5 but also because the Ferrari Cavalcade International event will end in Miami that same weekend. There’s likely no better place to unveil the new model than at an event where hundreds of Ferrari owners can be expected to attend.
Other details about the 812’s successor remain under wraps, including its design. With that being said, it is reasonable to assume it will share some styling traits with the Purosangue.
