Ferrari has unveiled its replacement for the F12 Berlinetta, dubbed the 812 Superfast, ahead of its public reveal at the Geneva motor show, and let’s not beat around the bush, it’s a monster.

Under the bonnet lies a 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 that produces 588kW at 8500rpm and 718Nm at 7000rpm, improvements of 43kW/28Nm over the already mindblowingly quick F12. The result is 0-100km/h in 2.9sec and a top speed of over 340km/h – well over, we’d imagine.

Revised styling includes full LED headlights, new quad taillights and a high tail inspired by the 365 GTB4. Active aerodynamics include flaps in the front bumper and an “aerodyamic bypass” at the rear to increase downforce.

To help put this crazy amount of power on the road there’s version 5.0 of Ferrari’s trick Side Slip Control system, which can now work with the steering, ESP, dampers, engine and differential to hold a certain amount of oversteer without losing control completely.
