New 812 replacement - deposits / launch date?

[MDL111]

Cheers guys - good to know for accidental/wine-induced decisions

The 308GTS cost me a Dalmatian.
The F12 cost me a Kubota tractor.
The Cali/Vantage is already agreed to cost me a Baritone sax (She likes Yani’s for any sax players out there).

I fear a drunken “Yes” email to the dealer for an F167 might just cost me a whole fking orchestra in wife bribe!

My deposit is an expression of interest as that’s the only option presently .. but I know my position in their queue after the top clients .. been promised q2 2025 delivery ….

Nice, I assume no limitations on spec by then?

The easy solution is to buy the 167 for your wife. You can thank me later.

This is a tactic I fear she may see through…

As all know, initial unveiling at Miami GP in a few weeks. Sounds like European launch will be on 30th May.

Euro Vips who prefer a 2 hr flight to Bologna than 10hr flight to Miami are seeing it next week..

Slightly off piste but I bought a 2021 812 Gts recently … went out in a light shower today and both headlamps had condensation in them .. about a third of the light and seemed to clear after a few hours … has anyone else experienced this / should I kick up a fuss as the car is still under full warrantee etc .. thanks

looking forward to the new release, possible evolution of the F12, 812 design language?

re headlight. my heated garage queen F12 does that even in the summer!! lots of discussion on Fchat but no real resolution. My previous Aston DB9 was awful in regards to headlight condensation. there are aftermarket headlight ventilation systems that can over come this issue.

[mirsgarage]

Pista does the same thing re condensation. Minor amounts, but certainly there.

Thanks that interesting .. dealer told me they are led s and have breathers .. but I had an Audi rs6 c7 and that had a light steamed up and eventually failed .. that was a problem as they are sealed units .. cost me 2800 for a new one .. so why is a Ferrari different ..

Not a particularly helpful answer but some condensation is normal. They're sealed but have vents to allow moisture out. I'd venture that if it clears in a few hours you're OK, any longer and it's worth looking into.

[pancholi]

there is a difference between light condensation that evaporates away and condensation that is severe enough to cause falling water droplets that eventually damage the unit. Astons are notorious for the later and thats why aftermarket vents units are available... Ferraris tend to fall in the former.
apologies as i am aware that this a 812 replacement thread ...

Apparently 10k rpm and ~840 hp

[pancholi]

10k rev limit!! WOW

Ferrari V12s have always been really robust feats of engineering, be interesting to understand the tech that has been developed to allowed a road car to achieve these rev limits hopefully without being a stressed engine and reliable.
I also have a Porsche GT3 with a 9k rev limit, and the tech that goes into achieving this figure is phenomenal.

That photo is not exactly clear, yes the big 10 is red, but the redline looks to be near 10 rather than at 10.

The 812 Comp revs to 9500 already.

[JJ77]

9800 would be my guess..
